Disconnected Signals

If the receiver unit does not receive a transmission from a remote cnel for 1 hour, the display will show dashes. To correct this problem

I. Check that the remote is properly positioned, within the appropriate transmission range. Transmissions are vastly affected by building materials and where the receiver and remote units are positioned. Try various set ups for the best results. Shorten the distance between receiver and remote units when necessary.

1. Check to make sure the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference.

2. If new batteries are faulty on the initial installation, install fresh batteries. If you did not notice the Low Battery icon warning and the product performed correctly after initial set up, the batteries have lost their charge. Replace batteries (see the Power Sources section of this manual.)

3. Press the “Tx” button in the battery compartment of the remote to send a transmission signal to the base unit.

4. Press and hold the “Channel” button on the back of the base uni This will clear the channel setting and the base unit will begin searching for remote sensor transmissions. Press the “Tx” butto in the battery compartment of the remote to send a transmission signal to the base unit.

5. Press the “RESET” button in the remote sensor’s battery compartment to reset all sensor settings.

Problem Solving

I. If the LCD readout is faint, replace the batteries.
2. If outdoor temperature does not display on the base unit:

a) Remove and reinstall all batteries;
b) Use fresh batteries ;
c) Place the remote sensor closer to the base unit;
d) Position the base and remote so that the transmission path is free of any obstacles, such as buildings, trees, etc. Try to have no more than 2 or 3 walls between the units.

1. The temperature sensors are manufactured to the accurate within plus or minus one degree, so 2 units placed next to each other may report different readings. This is a normal occurrence with digital sensors and should not be considered a defect.

Precautions

I. The receiver is intended for indoor use only. It is not sealed against moisture and could be damaged if used outdoors.
2. Do not immerse the unit in water. If you spill liquid on it, dry in mediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
