Setup

IMPORTANT: Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.

Note: This temperature station can only receive signals from one transmitter.

First, insert batteries into the transmitter, observing the correct polarity (refer to markings inside the battery compartment).
Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert batteries into the Temperature Station, observing the correct polarity (refer to markings inside the battery compartment). Upon battery insertion, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. The time will initially display as 12:00, followed by the indoor temperature. If the display does not show data after 60 seconds, remove the batteries from both units, wait at least 60 seconds, and reinsert them. Once the indoor data is displayed, proceed to the next step.
After inserting batteries, the Temperature Station will begin receiving outdoor temperature data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the station. If this does not occur within 2 minutes, remove the batteries from both units and restart the setup from step 1.
To ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be placed no more than 200 feet (60 meters) from the Temperature Station. Refer to the "Positioning" notes for further guidance.

Current Indoor Temperature: Displays the current indoor temperature.
MIN Indoor Temperature: Displays the lowest recorded indoor temperature.
MAX Indoor Temperature: Displays the highest recorded indoor temperature.

Notes:

The minimum temperature range is 14°F to 99°F. Temperatures below 14°F will display as "LO", and temperatures from 100°F to 140°F will display as "99°F".
The maximum temperature range is 14°F to 140°F.
The MIN/MAX temperature resolution is 1°F.
The resolution of the indoor temperature display is 0.5°F.

Viewing the Outdoor Temperature and the MIN/MAX

The outdoor temperature is displayed in the last section of the LCD, along with the outdoor MIN/MAX records:

Current Outdoor Temperature: Displays the current outdoor temperature.
MIN Outdoor Temperature: Displays the lowest recorded outdoor temperature.
MAX Outdoor Temperature: Displays the highest recorded outdoor temperature.

Notes:

The MIN/MAX temperature resolution is 1°F.
The resolution of the outdoor temperature display is 0.2°F.

To Reset the MIN/MAX Data

The MIN/MAX temperature records can be reset manually by pressing and holding the + key for approximately 3 seconds. This action will reset all recorded indoor and outdoor MIN/MAX temperatures to the current indoor and outdoor temperatures.

Positioning the Remote Temperature Transmitter

The remote temperature transmitter can be placed on any flat surface or wall-mounted using the provided bracket, which also serves as a stand or wall mount base.

To wall mount: Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using screws and plastic anchors. Then, clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the bracket.

Note: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. For example, attaching the unit to a metal surface may either reduce or increase the transmitting range. Therefore, it is recommended not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in positions where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (e.g., garage doors, double glazing). Before securing the transmitter in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 915MHz signal from the transmitter at the intended mounting locations.
