harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operations.
1. Assign different channels to different remote units.
I
2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main unit.
( Main unit of models listed under optional items )
3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit, reset
the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure easier
synchronization between the transmission and reception of signals.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission
range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30 meters(upto 100 feet).
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the
building materials and where the main and remote units are
positioned. Try various setups for best result.
FCC :
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications.
Though the sensor is weather proof and meant to be used outdoors,
it should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.

1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the inter-
ference by one or more of the following measures:
2. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.
4. Insert the batteries strictly according to the polarities shown inside.
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.
