DATA TRANSMISSION

SENSOR

To search for a sensor:

Press and hold ⋆ + together.

For best results:

• Place the sensor within 30 m of the main unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and furniture.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic / 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.

The remote sensor reception icon will show the following status:

ICON DESCRIPTION
	Main unit is searching for sensor(s).
	A channel has been found.
