OPTION
Channel 1 - 3. If you are using
more than one sensor, select a
different channel for each sensor.
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor to initiate signal sending between the
sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on
the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes
while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the
Search for Sensor section for more information.)
•
•
Place the sensor in a location with a clear
view to the sky, away from metallic or
electronic objects.
Position the sensor close to the main unit
during cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance
and signal transmission.
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
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.
NOTE To maximiseAtomic Clock signal reception, the
main unit table stand should be fully opened until it locks
into place.
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds.
The reception icon shown in the Temperature and
Humidity Areas show the status.

DESCRIPTION
CLOCK
Main unit is searching for
sensors.
This product can track the date and time for up to
2 locations (Clock with Offset Hour). The USAtomic Clock
in Boulder, Colorado automatically updates this
information unless you disable the feature. The signals
are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km
(932 miles) of a signal.
At least 1 channel has
been found.
Channel 1 is selected
(number will change
depending on the sensor
you select)
Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated
when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press
RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop
blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
--- shows in Temp
/ Humidity Areas
The selected sensor cannot
be found. Search for the
sensor or check batteries.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the
batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
To force a manual search forAtomic Clock signals, press
and hold UP for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check
the batteries.
NOTE
Signals from household devices such as
doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security
systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is
normal and does not affect general product performance.
The reception will resume once the interference ends.
NOTE If the Atomic Clock signal is received and the
hour is incorrect, use the "hour offset" feature to adjust
it to to the right value. Please see "SET CLOCK" on
pg. 9 for instructions.
