SEARCH FOR SENSOR  
SWITCH OPTION  
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and  
CHANNEL (on the main unit) for 2 seconds.  
Channel Channel 1-3. If you are using more than  
one sensor, select a different channel for  
each sensor.  
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,  
obstructions, and remote unit location.  
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment.  
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.  
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET  
on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and  
CHANNEL on the main unit 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 “Sensor Data Transmission” section for more  
information.)  
CLOCK  
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time  
and date when it is brought within range of the radio  
signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for  
Central Europe (model BAR629HG) or MSF60 generated  
from Rugby, England (model BAR629HGU).  
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.  
For best results:  
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when  
it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.  
Insert the batteries and select the channel before  
you mount the sensor.  
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.  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres  
(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.  
STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL  
NO SIGNAL  
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  
coldwintermonthsasbelow-freezingtemperatures  
may affect battery performance and signal  
transmission.  
To force a manual search for clock signals, press and  
hold for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check the  
batteries.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
TURN CLOCK ON / OFF  
DATA TRANSMISSION  
Perform this step if you cannot receive clock signals.  
Press and hold for 2 seconds. Then, manually set the
