- Press the MODE button once to enter the refrigerator (top display) alarm setting mode. The high alarm limit will flash.
- Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the high alarm limit.
- Press MODE again to confirm the high limit and move to the low alarm limit. The low alarm limit will flash.
- Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the low alarm limit.
- Press MODE again to confirm the low limit and move to the freezer (bottom display) alarm setting mode. Repeat steps 2-4 for the freezer section.
- After setting both freezer limits, press MODE one more time to exit alarm setting mode and return to normal operation.
- If the temperature exceeds the set limits, the receiver will emit an audible alarm and the corresponding temperature will flash. Press any button to silence the alarm.
4.5 Clearing Max/Min Records
To view the maximum and minimum temperature records, press the HISTORY/CLEAR button. To clear these records, press and hold the HISTORY/CLEAR button for 3 seconds.
4.6 Wireless Range
The TP210B utilizes advanced RF technology to provide a strong and stable wireless connection up to 500 feet (150 meters) in an open area. Environmental factors such as walls, metal appliances, and other electronic devices may affect the actual range.

5. Placement Options
Both the receiver and transmitters offer flexible placement options for optimal convenience and performance.
Image 5.1: Multiple Mounting Options
5.1 Receiver Placement
- Magnetic Mount: The receiver has magnets on its back, allowing it to be attached to metallic surfaces like a refrigerator door.
- Table Stand: A built-in kickstand allows the receiver to be placed upright on a countertop or table.
- Hanging: A hanging hole is provided for wall mounting or hanging on a hook.
5.2 Transmitter Placement
- Stand: The transmitters can stand upright on a flat surface inside the refrigerator or freezer.
- Clip: A removable clip allows the transmitters to be attached to shelves or racks.
For best results, place transmitters in a location that accurately reflects the temperature of the food storage area, avoiding direct contact with cold walls or air vents.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Receiver Battery Replacement
The receiver uses 2 x AAA batteries. When the low battery indicator for the receiver appears on the display, replace both batteries with new ones. Ensure correct polarity.
6.2 Transmitter Charging
The transmitters use built-in rechargeable lithium batteries. When the low battery indicator for a transmitter appears on the receiver display, remove the transmitter from the cold environment and charge it using the provided USB-C cable. It is recommended to charge transmitters at room temperature for optimal battery life and safety.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No temperature display or '---' on receiver | Transmitter out of range, low battery, or not paired. | Move transmitter closer to receiver. Check transmitter battery level and recharge if necessary. Power cycle both receiver and transmitter to re-establish connection. |
| Inaccurate temperature readings | Transmitter placed too close to cold surfaces/vents, or sensor obstructed. | Relocate transmitter to a central area within the refrigerator/freezer. Ensure the sensor is not blocked. |
| Alarm sounds unexpectedly | Temperature exceeded set high/low limits. | Check the current temperature and compare with your set alarm limits. Adjust limits if needed (refer to section 4.4). Press any button to silence the alarm. |
| Short wireless range | Obstructions (walls, metal appliances), interference from other electronics. | Relocate receiver and/or transmitters to minimize obstructions. Avoid placing near large metal objects or other wireless devices. |
| Receiver display is dim or blank | Low receiver battery. | Replace the 2 x AAA batteries in the receiver. |
