SETUP SENSOR  
Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor.  
1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with  
a small Phillips screwdriver.  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and  
moisture.  
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown  
in the battery compartment.  
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters  
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

information.)  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main  
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as  
doors, walls, and furniture.  
Place the sensor in a location with a clear view  
to the sky, away from metallic or electronic  
objects.  
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
Position the sensor close to the main unit  
during cold winter months as below-freezing  
temperatures may affect battery performance and  
signal transmission.  
5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
DATA TRANSMISSION  
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 78 seconds.
