The wireless sensor will soon send a signal to the main unit and the two

units will be synchronized. The wireless sensor features a red light on the

front which will illuminate briefly once a minute to indicate it is sending a

signal. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to be complete. If both

or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, refer to the

troubleshooting section in this manual.

Basic Setup is Now Complete

NOTE: Install all batteries in both

units within a 6 minute period to

ensure proper wireless functionality.

COMPARTMENT

COVER

Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure

an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the

main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or

vents in your home.

There are 2 placement options for the main unit. You may hang the

main unit on a wall using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you

may place the main unit on a table top or other flat surface.

Placement of Main Unit

The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe

outdoor temperatures and relay the outdoor temperature to the main

unit display. The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet

from the main unit.

The wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for outdoor

use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless

sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure

an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless

sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat

sources.

Placement of Sensor

3 • PLACEMENT

Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless

sensor and the main unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 100

feet away from the main unit.

This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication, which is

susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic

items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from

appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick

stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication.

Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC )
can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will
cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting
temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for
wireless sensors placed outdoors.
