unit and sensor or try selecting a different channel (and
press RESET).
The remote sensor reception icons will show the following
status:
ICONS MEANING

main unit.
TIP
• When placing sensors, remember the intended
location for each sensor. Refer to channel switch
position (1, 2, 3) and match with channel icon
displayed directly above name tag.
• The transmission range may vary depending on
many factors. You may need to experiment with
various locations to get the best results.
For best results:
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main unit,
minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls and
furniture.
