This product is exclusively intended for the field of application described above. It should only be used as described within these instructions.

Afterwards insert two new batteries 1,5 V AAA in the compartment of the transmitter. Make sure the polarities are correct. All LCD segments will be dis- played briefly.

The latest measured temperature will appear on the display of the transmitter and the information will be transmitted automatically to the receiver.

As soon as the transmission is successful the device will alert you with a beep, the radio signal symbol will blink and the latest measured temperature will appear on the display of the receiver.

Every 5 seconds the transmitter will transmit the last measured temperature

Close the battery compartment of the transmitter and the receiver again.

If the transmission fails or if the contact between the transmitter and the receiver gets lost (maximum range 40 m free field, within ferro-concrete rooms like basements and superstructures, the received sig- nal is naturally weakened), a beep tone will be heard at regular intervals, the radio-controlled reception symbol disappears and --- °C appears on the display of the receiver.

You can now start the search for the transmitter manually.

Press and hold the MIN button on the receiver in the temperature setting mode.

--- °C is flashing on the display of the receiver.
