3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor temperature station. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor temperature station) 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES. In this time the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature.

walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: A wireless weather station with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet

To complete the set up of your indoor temperature station after the 15 minutes have passed please follow the steps below. 1. Press and hold the “SET/CH” button for 5 seconds. Note: A “12h” or “24h” will appear on the top line. (“12h” for AM/PM, “24h” for military time) 2. To change between “12h” and “24h” press and release the “MIN/MAX” button. 3. When you have your choice shown on the display press and release the “SET/CH” button once. Note: if “12h” is selected, the temperatur

(If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now. • If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 4

Remove all the batteries from the receiver and sensor(s) and wait 60 seconds. During these 60 seconds, press any button 20 times to discharge any excess power. 2. Insert the batteries to the first temperature sensor. 3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries are in place, all seg

5. Insert the batteries to the second sensor as soon as the outdoor temperature readings from the first sensor are displayed on the Temperature station. NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the second sensor within 45 seconds of reception of the first sensor. 6. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon should then be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the u

NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the third sensor within 45 seconds of reception of the second sensor. IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for multiple sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.

3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, press and hold the “MIN/MAX” button for four seconds. MOUNTING Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside North- facing wall. The sending range is 330ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting. 1.

The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In addition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). In addition, the much greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges wi
