4. Getting Started:
4.1 Main Unit:
Remove battery compartment door and insert 3pcs AAA size batteries
And connect the power supply cord to the wall outlet. Before connecting the unit to
power, please make sure your local voltage is the same as marked on the adaptor.
Note:
When powered by battery only, backlight would be off. Press snooze button,
backlight will last for around 5 seconds.
When connecting with the adaptor on the premise that batteries have been
installed correctly, this product will switch to the external power supply

Insert 2 x AA batteries observing polarity [ “+” and “–“ marks]
5. Installation
Place the main unit onto flat surface, the remote sensor could be placed onto flat
surface or securely mounted onto a vertical or horizontal ( suitable ) surface.
Transmissions between main unit and remote sensor can reach up to 100m in open
area.
NOTE: Open area means there are no interfering obstacles such as buildings, trees,
vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
6. RF transmission
The main unit automatically starts receiving transmission from sensors for
temperature & humidity after powering on.
The sensors will automatically transmit temperature and humidity signal to the
main unit after batteries inserted. For having more than one external transmitter
(maximum3), select the Channel, CH1, CH2 or CH3 to ensure each sensor is
transmitting different channel before inserting batteries. The channel select
switch (D7) is above the battery compartment of sensor.
If main unit failed to receive transmission from sensor in first 5 minutes after the
batteries inserted (“- - . –”display on the LCD), hold “SENSOR” button (B3) for 2
seconds to receive transmission manually. RF icon “ ”displays on the LCD

temperature) or HH.H (beyond the maximum temperature) will be shown on the
indoor temperature column of the LCD.
If the sensors’ temperature is lower than -40°C, display will read LL.L
If the sensors’ temperature is higher than +70°C, display will read HH.H
NOTE: When temperature is lower than -20°C, or higher than +50°C, the sensor
might not work properly.
