CHANGE SETTINGS

To change, time, calendar and language settings:

1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting mode.
2. Press ▲ or ▼ to change settings. (To reach the setting you want quickly, press and hold ▲ or ▼.)
3. Press MODE to confirm.

REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)

This product is shipped with a THN122N Thermometer Sensor that collects Temperature data. The main unit can be connected to only 1 remote sensor.

SETUP SENSOR

1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment.
3. Set the channel switch to any channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment.
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Then, press and hold SEARCH on the main unit to initiate signal sending between the sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the Sensor Data Transmission section for more information.)
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, 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.

You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.

DATA TRANSMISSION

Data is sent from the sensor every 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows the status.

ICON	DESCRIPTION
	Main unit is searching for the sensor
	A Channel has been found
	The sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries

SEARCH FOR SENSOR

To search for the sensor, press and hold SEARCH for 2 seconds.

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

NOTE 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.

CLOCK

The clock automatically synchronizes the current time and date when it is brought within range of the radio signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for Central Europe (model BAR623P) or MSF60 generated from Anthorn, England (model BAR623PU).

NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET.
