use the continuous backlight feature. It is also  
recommended for use with the Radio. The jack is  
located on the side of the unit.  
BATTERIES  
Batteries for the remote and main units are supplied  
with this product. Replace them whenever the low  
battery signal ( ) displays. Remove the battery  
compartment lid on the bottom of the main unit, and  
insert the batteries. Use a small Phillips screwdriver to  
remove the remote unit compartment lid. Be sure to  
match the correct polarity, as shown in the battery  
compartment. Before you close the lid, press the  
RESET button with the point of a blunt object (such as  
a ball point pen).  
NOTE  
If the AC power becomes unavailable, the unit  
will automatically switch to battery power.

WARNINGS  
The RESET buttons are located in the battery  
compartments for the main and remote units. Press  
these buttons with the tip of a blunt object (such as a  
ball point pen) whenever you change the batteries, or

settings to default value, and you will lose all stored  
information (minimum / maximum temperature and  
humidity, preset stations, etc.).  
This product is designed to give you years of service if  
handled properly. Observe the following guidelines:  
Never immerse the unit in water. This can cause  
electrical shock and damage the unit.  
Do not subject the main unit to extreme force,  
shock, or fluctuations in temperature or humidity.  
Do not tamper with the internal components.  
Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of  
different types.  
Do not use rechargeable batteries with this  
product.  
Remove the batteries if storing this product for a  
long period of time.  
SAFETY AND CARE  
Wash the unit with a slightly damp cloth and mild  
detergent. Avoid dropping the unit or placing it in a  
location where the antenna or AC power adapter will be  
stepped on.  
Do not scratch the LCD display.
