GETTING STARTED
SOLAR PANEL
The solar panel is an energy saving feature, which is an
environmentally friendly way to provide additional power to
the main unit and prolongs battery life. However, it cannot
replace battery power entirely.
INSERT BATTERIES
1. Remove the battery compartment.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (see FIG 2).
LOCATION MEANING
Clock Main unit batteries low
Outdoor temperature Sensor batteries low
REMOTE SENSOR
The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.
To set up the sensor:
1. Open the battery compartment (see FIG 3).
2. Insert the battery, matching the polarities.
3. Select a channel then press RESET.
4. Close the battery door.
5. Place the sensor within 30 m (98 ft) of the main unit
using the table stand or wall mount.
TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any
location on the exterior of the home at a height of not more
than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct sunlight
or wet conditions for an accurate reading.
1.5 m (5 ft)
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer
grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION
To search for a sensor:
Press and hold + MODE.

POUR COMMENCER
PANNEAU SOLAIRE
Le panneau solaire est un accessoire permettant
d’économiser l’énergie, c’est une façon écologique de
fournir de l’électricité supplémentaire à l’appareil principal
prolongeant la durée de vie de la pile. Il ne peut cependant
remplacer entièrement l’alimentation par piles.
INSÉREZ LES PILES
1. Retirez le couvercle du compartiment des piles.
2. Insérez les piles en respectant les polarités. (voir FIG 2).
