BATTERY INSTALLATION

NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing point

32°F (0°C), battery voltage will drop which may result in

reduced the transmission range. For optimum

performance in cold weather conditions, we recommend

using lithium batteries.

NOTE: Install the batteries and select the channel before

mounting the remote sensor.

• Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small

Phillips screwdriver (not included).

• Set the channel 1 through 3. The switch is located in the battery

compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote

sensor is being used.

• Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching

the polarities shown in the battery compartment.

• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.

• Secure the remote sensor in the desired location.

MOUNTING

• The remote sensor can be mounted either horizontally or

vertically.

• Use a screw, rather than a nail, to securely mount the sensor.

• When mounting the main unit on a vertical surface, fold the

built-in table stand back into the unit, allowing the main unit to

lie flush with the surface.

PLACEMENT

• The remote sensor should be placed under eaves or a similar

location with free air circulation sheltered from direct sunlight

and extreme weather.

• Ideally, place the remote sensor over soil, rather than asphalt

which would cause false readings.

• Avoid placing the remote sensor near sources of heat, such as

chimneys and heating elements

• Avoid areas that collect heat from the sun and radiate heat,

such as metal, brick or concrete structures, paving, and patios

• The international standard for the valid air temperature

measurements is 4 feet (1.25meters) above the ground

OPERATION

Immediately after batteries are installed, the remote sensor will

start transmitting a temperature and humidity data to the main

unit.
