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 will be displayed. If the indoor temperature is 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 260 feet (80 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:
in/out key: Press to toggle the indoor and outdoor temperatures (see View 1and 2 below).
min/max key: Press to view minimum temperature values. Press again to view maximum

TO RESET THE MIN/MAX DATA
The MIN/MAX temperature can be reset manually by pressing and holding the MIN/MAX 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.
