5. Slide EU / UK to the position that matches your
location (RTGR383). Press US TIME ZONE to
select: Pacific (P), Mountain (M), Central (C) or
Eastern (E) (RTGR383A).
6. Press °C / °F to select temperature unit.
7. Press RESET on the sensor.
8. Close the remote sensor battery compartment and
slide on the cover.
indicates sensor batteries are low.
For best results:
•
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
•
Do not place the sensor more than 100 meters (328
feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
•
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
•
Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
•
Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold
winter months as below-freezing temperatures may
affect battery performance and signal transmission.
•
You may need to experiment with various locations
to get the best results.
Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low
temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable
Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for
temperature with an estimated freezing range of below
-30°C (-22°F).
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold
may temporarily reduce the effective range between the
sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper
functioning as the temperature rises to within the
normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage
will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).
CLOCK
CLOCK RECEPTION
This product is designed to synchronize its calendar
clock automatically once it is brought within range of
a radio signal:
BAR383HG:
• DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for
Central Europe
• MSF-60 generated from Rugby, England.
The radio signal range is 1500km (932 miles)
BAR383HGA:
• WWVB-60 generated from the atomic clock in Fort
Collins, Colorado.
The radio signal range is 3219km (2000 miles)
The clock reception icon on the sensor indicates signal
strength.
