VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE AND THE MIN/ MAX
TEMPERATURE
The outdoor temperature is displayed in the last section of the LCD along
with the outdoor MIN/MAX records:
Note:

The minimum/maximum temperature resolution is 1 ƱF.
x The resolution of the outdoor temperature is 0.1ºF

TO RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA:
The MIN/MAX temperature can be reset manually by pressing and holding
the + key for about 3 seconds. This will reset all indoor and outdoor
MIN/MAX temperature to current indoor and outdoor temperatures.
915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The Temperature Station should receive the outdoor temperature data
within a few minutes after setup. If the temperature data are not received
about 2 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon does not appear),
please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at
least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering
sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate
proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers
19
operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal
frequency can also cause interference.
Note:
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery
cover of either the transmitter or the Temperature Station, as the batteries
may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. If this happens
accidentally, all units must be reset (see Setting up above) otherwise
transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 200 feet / 60 m from the transmitter to the
Temperature Station (in open space). However, this depends on the
surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is
possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to
be reset (see Setting up above).

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station comes attached with a
table stand, which provides the option of table
standing the unit in addition to wall mounting.
