5. On the main unit select the same channel number that
set on the remote sensor. Outdoor temperature on the
display will show that transmission is being received
successfully.
Note: When the temperature falls below the freezing point
the batteries in the remote sensor(s) will freeze
lowering their voltage output and effective range.
During prolonged periods of extreme cold it is
advisable to bring the remote sensor indoors, if
alkaline batteries are being used. We recommend to
use lithium ion batteries at temperatures below 32˚F.
TRANSMISSION COLLISION
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells,
home security systems and entry controls, may interfere
with this product and cause temporary reception failure.
This is normal and does not affect the general performance
of the product. The transmission and reception of the
temperature readings will resume once the interference ends.
CHECKING REMOTE AND
INDOOR TEMPERATURE
The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the
main unit display. The remote temperature is shown on
the top line of the display. The wave icon near the remote
temperature reading indicates that there is a good
