GETTING STARTED
This In-Out thermo mood-light clock was designed for easy set up. For
best operation, the following steps are required to be done in the proper
sequence.
1. Insert batteries to the main unit, it will automatically search the remote
sensors (while they are in effective transmission range) for 2 minutes
and then receive RCC signal for 10 minutes.
Note: Main unit can’t be programmed manually during RF searching
and RCC reception.
2. Insert batteries to the remote sensor and set it to desired channel by
pressing [CH] button.
3. The main unit will show the temperature reading of the remote sensor
in corresponding channel if it receives the RF signal and registers the
remote sensor successfully.
4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective transmission
range, which is, in usual circumstances, is 30 meters (100 feet). The
remote sensor should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or
snow.
WIRELESS REMOTE SENSOR REGISTRATION PROCEDURE
Within 2 minutes of power up the main unit, activates the sensor as follows:
1. Insert the 2 AAA batteries into the sensor unit while the ‘ ’ icon in the
main unit is ashing to prompt the user that the main unit is in sensor
searching mode.
2. The LED on the front panel of the sensor will start ashing at a rate of
one time per around 2 seconds to indicate channel#1 is in use. While
the LED is ashing, press once the [CH] key will change the sensor
channel setting to #2. Keep toggle on [CH] key can change channel
setting up to #3. The LED is blinking at a frequency to indicate the
channel setting. i.e. continuous blinking 2 times indicates channel #2 is
selected.
If no key entry for 10 seconds, it will exit the channel setting mode and
transmit the RF signal of the temperature reading.
3. The main unit will show the temperature reading of the remote sensor
in corresponding channel if it receives the RF signal and registers the
remote sensor successfully.
4. The ‘ ’ icon in main unit will stop ashing after two minutes to prompt
user that it already exits sensor searching mode. In this case, the user
~ 6 ~
(EN)
must press and hold [CH] button for 2 seconds to re-enter sensor
searching mode and repeat above steps if he wants to register a new
remote sensor.
REMOTE CHANNEL AUTO-SCROLLING
This device is equipped with an Auto-scroll function. While the Auto-scroll
function is set, the main unit will automatically cycle to display the indoor
temperature and the temperature of each remote sensor for 4 seconds.
1. To manually retrieve the specic sensor temperature reading, press
[CH] key until desired channel number is displayed.
2. To enable Auto-scroll function, use [CH] button to select channel #1,
#2, ... until auto scroll icon appears beside the channel indicator.
DCF-77 RADIO CONTROLLED CLOCK
The radio-controlled time is calculated by the Cesium Atomic clock of
Braunschweig (ofcial clock of Germany). Then the time is coded and
transmitted from Mainingen - near Frankfurt - via a signal on DCF-77 (77.5
kHz). The transmitting range of the signal is 1500 km, which means that
most of Western and Central Europe is covered by this signal. Within this
range the received time is completely accurate. Once sensor signal(s) are
received, the wave icon will ash to indicate that the receiving unit starts to
receive the DCF radio controlled time signal. Radio Controlled wave icon
indicates 4 levels of signal status:
Very weak Weak Mediu Strong
As soon as the time signal is received, the wave icon will stay on the LCD,
and time and calendar will automatically be updated.
Note: During the 10-minute time signal reception, all manual key input will
be ignored. In addition, the continuous mood light or Alert light will be turn
off temporary until reception is over. You can also press and hold [▲]key
for 2 seconds to manually activate the reception in normal mode.
