• Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors, such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme
cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station.
• The
signal icon indicates that the Atomic Clock feature is ON. No icon means that it is OFF.
• If the unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the
temperature rises to within the normal temperature range.
• Insert batteries and select the channel before mounting the sensor.
• LLL or HHH appears when the temperature is out of range.
• If the temperature on your sensor does not match the one on your main unit, press and hold MEMORY
and CHANNEL to retrieve the signal again. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 100 feet (30.5 meters) from the main unit.
• Position the sensor facing the main unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months, as below-freezing temperatures
may affect battery performance and signal transmission.
• If you still do not receive a signal, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
• Signals from household devices, such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security
systems, may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product
performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.
• The display in outdoor thermometers remains operational to -4°F with adequate power. If the unit’s
performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature
rises to within the normal temperature range.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult your local RadioShack store or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop
using your equipment. Changes or modifi cations not expressly approved by
RadioShack may cause interference and void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
