The wireless sensor will soon send a signal to the main unit and the two units will
be synchronized. The wireless sensor features a red light on the front which will
illuminate briey once a minute to indicate it is sending a signal. It may take a
few minutes for synchronization to be complete. If both or one of the units
appear to be functioning improperly, refer to the troubleshooting section in this
manual.

COVER
Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure an
accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the main
unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or vents in
your home.
There are 2 placement options for the main unit. You may hang the main
unit on a wall using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you may
place the main unit on a table top or other at surface.
Placement of Main Unit
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor
temperatures and relay the outdoor temperature to the main unit display.
The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for outdoor use.
However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless sensor in an
area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure an accurate
outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless sensor is placed
out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.

3 • PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless sensor
and the main unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 100 feet away from
the main unit.
This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or
thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV,
microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ) that
may interfere with the wireless communication.

Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause
alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor
wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium
batteries in these low temperature conditions to ensure continued
operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors.
