BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
•
The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors, the main
unit must be placed indoors.
•
We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor
and main unit when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We
recommend using lithium batteries for the remote sensor when
temperatures are below 32°F (0°C).
•
Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries can-
not maintain correct power requirements).
•
Insert batteries before fi rst use, matching the polarity in the bat-
tery compartment.
•
ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the main
unit.
•
Press RESET after each battery change with a paper clip or
similar tool.
•
During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as possible
to the remote sensor.
•
After reception is established (the remote temperature will ap-
pear on the main unit’s display), position the remote sensor and
the main unit within the effective transmission range of 100'.
NOTE:
1. Avoid pressing any buttons on the main unit before the remote
temperature is displayed. This takes approximately 2 minutes.

REMOTE SENSOR
Features:
• Remote temperature and humidity transmission to the main
unit via 433 MHz signal
• 100' (30 meters) transmission range without interference
• LCD display of measured temperature and humidity
• Three (3) channels selection
• Selection of the temperature display in Celsius or Fahrenheit
• Case can be wall mounted using built-in recessed hanger

2. The effective operating range may be infl uenced by the sur-
rounding building materials and how the receiver and trans-
mitter are positioned.
3. Place the remote sensors so that it faces the main unit (re-
ceiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and
furniture.
4. Though the remote sensors are weather-resistant, they should
be placed away from direct sunlight, rain, or snow.
NOTE:
When the temperature falls below freezing, alkaline batter-
ies in the outdoor remote sensor may have reduced voltage supply
and a shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries
at temperature 32°F (0°C) and below.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
REMOTE SENSOR
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in
C° or F° before mounting the remote sensor.
1. Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small
Phillips screwdriver.
2. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compart-
ment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote sensor
is being used.
3. Install 2 AA alkaline batteries (not included) matching the
polarities shown in the battery compartment.
4. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.
5. Secure remote sensor in the desired location after transmission
has been established.
MAIN UNIT
1. Open the battery compartment door.
2. Install 2 AA batteries matching the polarity as shown in the
battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment door.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
A low-battery indicator [
] will appear on the indoor or
remote temperature and humidity reading line of the main unit
warning that the corresponding batteries need replacement.
GETTING STARTED
After batteries are installed, the remote sensor will transmit tem-
perature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit may take
up to two minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon success-
ful reception, the remote temperature will appear on the larger
section of the main unit’s display (the default remote channel is
channel one). The main unit will automatically update readings
at 45-second intervals. If no signal is received from the remote
sensor within two minutes, dashes [- - -] will be displayed. Press
and hold
SEARCH
button on the main unit for two seconds to
initiate another signal search.
CHECKING REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE
AND HUMIDITY
The default display shows the indoor temperature and humidity
information (temperature is on the top, and humidity is on the
bottom line). The icon
IN
will be displayed when indoor readings
are shown.
The remote temperature and humidity for channel one, two and
three can be recalled by pressing
CHANNEL
button.

READING THE KINETIC WAVE DISPLAY
The kinetic wave display shows the main unit (receiver) signal
reception strength. The wave icon is located above the remote
channel number and indicates the reception status from the
remote sensor. Three types of reception status may be displayed:
NOTE: If the indoor or remote temperature and/or humidity goes
above or below operating range stated in specifi cations, the main
unit’s display will show dashes “- - -”
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TRENDS
The temperature and humidity trend indicators are located next
to the temperature and humidity display lines. They show the
trend of temperature and humidity readings collected indoors
and at a particular remote site. There are three trends that can be
displayed: Rising, Steady, and Falling.
COMFORT LEVEL INDICATORS
The Easy-Read Thermometer/Hygrometer is capable of detect-
ing and displaying the present comfort levels for the surround-
ing environment. The environmental comfort level is detected,
interpreted, and displayed on the main unit’s display based on
the combination of the current indoor and remote temperature
and humidity readings. There are several comfort levels that may
be shown: COM (comfortable); WET (wet); DRY (dry) and No
Indicator.

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM MEMORY
The maximum and minimum record of the indoor and remote
temperature and humidity will be automatically stored in the
memory of the main unit (receiver).
1. To display the minimum, maximum, or the current reading,
press
MEMORY
button after desired mode (indoor or remote)
is selected.
2. If no button is pressed for the next 15 seconds, the unit will
return to the current temperature and humidity display for
applicable mode.
3. To clear the memory, press and hold
MEMORY
button for two
seconds and all previously stored readings will be erased.

LOST COMMUNICATION
If the main unit display mode for the remote sensor reading
shows dashes (- - -), press and hold
SEARCH
button for 2 sec-
onds to begin a new signal search (the signal search icon will fl ash
above the remote channel number). If the signal isn’t received
within two minutes, please make sure that:
1. The remote sensor is in its proper location.
2. The distance between main unit and remote sensor is not
over 100'.
3. The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the dis-
tance if necessary.
4. Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor
and main unit.
If there is still no communication, please perform the following
steps:
1. Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.
2. Remove the screws from the back of the remote sensor with
small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment.
3. Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indica-
tor will fl ash showing transmission of the signal.
4. Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in
the same manner.
5. The remote temperature should appear on the main unit’s dis-
play, showing that transmission is being received successfully.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless door-
bells, home security systems, and entry control, may interfere
with this product or cause temporary reception interruption.
This is normal and will not affect the general performance of
the product. The transmission and reception of the readings will
resume once the interference subsides.
PRECAUTIONS
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory ser-
vice if handled carefully. Here are a few precautions:
1. Do not immerse the units in water.
2. Do not clean the units with abrasive or corrosive materials.
They may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic
circuits.
3. Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust,
temperature, or humidity, which may result in malfunctions,
shorter lifespan, damaged batteries, and damaged parts.
4. Do not tamper with the units internal components. Doing
so will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage. These
units contain no user-serviceable parts.
5. Use only fresh batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.
6. Read the user’s manual thoroughly before operating the units.
