GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity (+ and -). Press RESET after each battery change.

indicates that the batteries are low.

NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. We recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.

WALL MOUNT

Remove the stand at attach as shown.

REMOTE SENSOR

The sensor collects temperature readings approx. every 40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.

To set up the sensor:

1. Remove the battery door.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -) . Reset after each battery change.
3. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different channel for each sensor.

1. Close the battery compartment.
2. Place the sensor next to the main unit.
3. Initiate a sensor search on the main unit to start receiving temperature data from the sensor.
4. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the table stand or wall mount.

The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12^ (10^) . Consumer grade lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -30^ (-22^)

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. 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 (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).

SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION

The sensor reception icon shows the status.

ICON DESCRIPTION
	Main unit is searching for the sensor(s)
	A channel has been found
	Sensor 1 is sending data
and“--.”(temperature area)	The sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries

To search for a sensor:

Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CH for 2 seconds.

NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.

CLOCK

CLOCK RECEPTION

This product is designed to synchronize its calendar clock automatically once it is brought within range of a radio signal:

• DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for Central Europe.

The clock collects the radio signals whenever it is within 1500km (932 miles) of a signal.

RECEPTION SIGNAL

To enable and force a signal search:

Press and hold for 2 seconds.

To disable the signal reception:

Press and hold for 2 seconds.

Clock signal reception indicator:

STRONG SIGNAL	WEAK SIGNAL	NO SIGNAL

SET CLOCK

If the clock signal reception is enabled and a signal is being received the clock does not need to be manually set..

1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds.
2. Press or to change the settings.
3. Press MODE to confirm.
4. The settings order is: time zone offset, 12/24 hr format, hour, minute, year, day/month format, month, day and language.

NOTE The time zone offset can be used to set the clock up to + / - 23 hours from the received clock signal time. If you have disabled the clock signal reception (i.e. manually setting the clock), do not set a value for time zone offset.

NOTE The language options are English (E), German (D),

French (F), Italian (I), and Spanish (S).

Press MODE to choose between the following display modes:

• Clock with seconds.
• Clock with weekday.
• Clock with calendar.
• Clock with time zone offset.

ALARM

To set the alarm:

1. Press () to enter alarm mode.
2. Press and hold () for 2 seconds.
3. Press / set hour / minute.
4. Press (to confirm. indicates alarm is ON.

To activate/deactivate the alarm:

1. Press () to display alarm time.
2. Press () again to turn alarm ON/OFF.

To silence the alarm:

• Press SNOOZE to silence it for 8 minutes OR
• Press any key except SNOOZE to turn the alarm off and activate it again after 24 hours.

BAROMETER

Barometer readings from the past 24 hours are stored by the main unit and used to provide weather forecast.

To select barometer measurement unit:

Press PRESSURE to toggle between mb and inHg.

SET ALTITUDE

To ensure barometric readings are reliable set the altitude to reflect distance from sea level at your position.

1. Press and hold PRESSURE for 2 seconds.
   2.Use and set the altitude in 10M 33 ft increments from -100m (-328 ft) to 2500m (8202 ft).
2. Press PRESSURE to confirm.

NOTE The maximum operating altitude for the barometer and weather forecast is 2500m (8202 ft).

WEATHER FORECAST

This product forecasts the next 12 to 24 hours of weather within a 30 - 50km (19-31 mile) radius based on barometric pressure trend readings.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

The sensor reception icon indicates the temperature data displayed:

for indoor temperature
for outdoor temperature (number indicates the sensor channel displayed)

NOTE The unit will display indoor humidity unless an outdoor humidity sensor (sold separately) is selected.

To view outdoor sensors temperature readings: Press CH.

To toggle temperature unit:

Press ^ / ^

To auto-scan between sensors:

Press and hold CH for 2 seconds.

To end auto-scan:

Press CH.

To toggle between current, minimum and maximum records for the selected sensor:

Press MEM repeatedly.

To clear the records:

Press and hold MEM for 2 seconds.

TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY AND PRESSURE TRENDS

The trend icons are based on recent readings.
