MAIN UNIT FUNCTION BUTTONS
Using the included LOW TEMPERATURE ADAPTOR
The wireless sensor will operate normally down to -4 ºF. Below -4 ºF, the electronics
may operate erratically or become non-functional until the temperature raises again.
In case temperatures fall below -4ºF, bring the wireless sensor indoors and use the
included low temperature adaptor by running the wire out through a soft seal opening
such as a window or door. When routing the wire for the low temperature adaptor,
make certain that the wire will not be severed or damaged.

Radio-controlled Clock : The unit starts synchronizing the clock after the 1st channel
of the wireless sensor begins to send its information to the main unit. (This is called
registration.) The built-in antenna receives the official time signal from the US
Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology. A microchip translates
the time signal and adjusts the time display for the correct time, and date.

Time Zone:
Note: Default setting is Pacific Time. If you live outside of the Pacific Time Zone, you will
need to set your Time Zone using the following procedure:
1) Press and hold the “– / C/F” button on the front of the clock for three seconds. The
area of the clock where the seconds are usually displayed will be replaced with the letter
for the time zone it is currently set in.
2) If set to the default setting, you will see a flashing letter “P” on the screen after
pressing and holding the “– / C/F” button. Press and release the “– / C/F” button until
the letter shown corresponds to your time zone:

The moon phase will automatically display based on the calender date. The moon phase
display will scroll from left to right, and pause for about 5 seconds to display the current
moon phase. NOTE: the moon phase will not be correct unless the date and year are
programmed correctly.
The main unit supports up to three wireless sensors. Each additional wireless sensor
must be designated a different channel number. Assigning different channel numbers
differentiate each sensors temperature and hygrometer readings for the main units’
display.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Additional wireless sensors are sold separately. Call 1-800-556-2548 to order.
