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 one transmitter only.
1. First, insert batteries into the transmitter, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside
battery compartment).
2. Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert batteries into the Temperature
Station, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). Once the
batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor
temperature, the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in the LCD after 60
seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them.
Once the indoor data is displayed you may proceed to the next step.
3. After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving outdoor temp
data from the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the
Temperature station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, remove the batteries from
both units and start again from step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 915 MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be
placed a distance of no more than 200 feet (60 meters) from the Temperature Station and
the transmitter (see notes on “Positioning”).
FUNCTION KEYS
The Temperature Station has only two easy to use function keys:
SET key: Press and hold for about 3 seconds to enter the Manual setting mode.

will return to normal operating mode.
VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE AND MIN/MAX
The indoor temperature is displayed in the second section of the LCD along with the indoor
MIN/MAX records:
Notes:
The minimum temperature range: 14ºF to 99ºF (100ºF to 140ºF will show “99ºF”).
The maximum temperature range: 14ºF to 140ºF
The MIN/MAX temperature resolution is 1ºF
The resolution of the indoor temperature is 0.5ºF
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:
Notes:
The MIN/MAX temperature resolution is 1ºF
The resolution of the outdoor temperature is 0.2ºF
TO RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA
The MIN/MAX temperature can be reset manually by pressing and holding the + key for about 3
seconds. This will reset all indoor and outdoor MIN/MAX temperature to current indoor and
outdoor temperatures.
POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The remote temperature transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using
the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
To wall mount: Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws
and plastic anchors.
Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the bracket.
Note: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for
instance, the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either
reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we
recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any
position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors,
double glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can
receive the 915MHz signal from the temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to
place them.
