for poor reception are heavily reinforced concrete and steel structures and/or
placement of either unit close to video or PC monitors.
Important: The temperature display on the remote module is updated every 15
seconds, the remote temperature display on the main unit is updated every 3
minutes. The difference in update rates may account for discrepancies between the
reading shown on the main unit and that on the remote module. This is normal,
especially when the temperature at the remote module is fluctuating.

MANUALLY INITIATING SIGNAL RECEPTION
Atomic Clock—
If you have moved the main unit from a location where it was receiving a strong
complete signal, it is recommended that you manually initial signal reception to insure
that the unit will receive a complete signal in its new location.
To manually initiate signal reception:
Press and release the WAVE button, located on the back of the unit. will flash on
the display, indicating that the unit is attempting to receive the signal from the Atomic
Clock. (See the “Signal Reception - Atomic Clock” section.)
Remote Module—
If you have moved the main unit or the remote module, it is recommended that you
manually initial signal reception to insure that the main unit will receive a signal from
the remote module.
To manually initiate signal reception:
Press and release the RE-SYNC button, located on the back of the main unit. will
flash on the main unit display, indicating that the unit is attempting to receive the signal
from the remote module. (See the “Signal Reception - Remote Module” section.)
WALL MOUNT AND BENCH STAND
Both the main unit and remote module have built in bench stands. The units may also
be wall mounted. See the following illustrations.
RESET BUTTON
Located on both the main unit and remote module, this button is only used when either
unit is operating in an unfavorable way or malfunctioning, most commonly caused by
ESD (electrostatic discharge) or radio interference. To reset either unit, press and
hold down the button for 2 seconds. All settings will return to default values. Pressing
the RESET button has a similar effect as removing and re-installing the batteries.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If either unit does not function properly for any reason, try resetting both units (see
the “Reset Button” section). If the units do not function properly after a reset,
replace the batteries with new high quality batteries (see the “Battery Replacement”
section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new fresh battery will solve
most difficulties.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Erratic readings, faint readings, or no display are all indications that the batteries must
be replaced. See the “Initial Set-up” section for instructions on replacing the batteries.
