install 2 fresh “AA”
batteries as shown here.
Always install batteries
into the wireless sensor
FIRST to ensure proper
wireless synchronization
with the main unit.
B. Main Unit
Remove the battery
compartment cover and
install 2 fresh “AA”
batteries as shown here.
Install Batteries
The wireless sensor will soon send a signal to the main unit and the two
units will be synchronized. The wireless sensor features a red light on the
front which will illuminate briefly once a minute to indicate it is sending a
signal. It may take a few minutes for synchronization to be complete. If both
or one of the units appear to be functioning improperly, refer to the
troubleshooting section in this manual.
Basic Setup is Now Complete
NOTE: Install all batteries in both
units within a 6 minute period to
ensure proper wireless functionality.

COVER
Place the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure
an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the
main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or
vents in your home.
There are 2 placement options for the main unit. You may hang the
main unit on a wall using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you
may place the main unit on a table top or other flat surface.
Placement of Main Unit
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe
outdoor temperatures and relay the outdoor temperature to the main
unit display. The wireless sensor must be placed less than 100 feet
from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for outdoor
use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless
sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure
an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless
sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat
sources.
Placement of Sensor
3 • PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless
sensor and the main unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 100
feet away from the main unit.
This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication, which is
susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic
items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from
appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick
stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication.

Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC )
can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will
cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting
temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for
wireless sensors placed outdoors.
