WHAT SHOULD I DO DURING AN INITIAL PRODUCT SETUP?
Remove the protective plastic screen (if any) from the LCD displays.
Insert the batteries into the remote sensor first then insert batteries into the main unit.
During initial setup in order to work properly, remote sensor must have the batteries
installed before the main unit.
IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE REMOTE SENSOR SET EACH SENSOR TO A DIFFERENT
CHANNEL NUMBER.
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 6 MINUTES.
During this time the main unit and remote sensor will start to communicate to each other and the
main unit will show both - indoor and remote readings.
MY TE242ELW NO LONGER SHOWS AN OUTDOOR/REMOTE TEMPERATURE.WHAT CAN I
DO TO FIX THIS?
If the main unit display mode for the remote sensor reading shows dashes (- - -), press and hold
the “DOWN” arrow button for 3-4 seconds to begin a new signal search. As soon as the signal
search icon will start flashing above the remote channel number release the “DOWN” arrow button.
If the signal isn’t received within two minutes, please make sure that:
•
Make sure that the red light is flashing from the remote sensor’s LED indicator every 45-47
seconds
•
The remote sensor is in its proper location.
•
The distance between main unit and remote sensor is not over 200 feet (60meters).
•
The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary.
•
Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit.
•
If outdoor temperature reached 32ºF and lower we recommend using lithium batteries
versus alkaline
•
Batteries were inserted into the remote unit first and the main unit next.
If there is still no communication, please perform the following steps:
•
Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.
•
Remove the four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with a small Phillips
screwdriver and open the battery compartment.
•
Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same
manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.
•
Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner.
•
The remote temperature appeared on the main unit’s display will show that transmission is
being received successfully.
