SETUP SENSOR

1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with

a small Phillips screwdriver.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown

in the battery compartment.

3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET

on the main unit to initiate signal sending between

the sensor and the main unit. The reception icon

on the main unit will blink for approximately

3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer

to the Sensor Data Transmission section for more

information.)

4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.

5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the

wall mount or table stand.

For best results:

•Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor.

•Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and

moisture.

•Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters

(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.

•Position the sensor so that it faces the main

(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as

doors, walls, and furniture.

•Place the sensor in a location with a clear view

to the sky, away from metallic or electronic

objects.

•Position the sensor close to the main unit

during cold winter months as below-freezing

temperatures may affect battery performance and

signal transmission.

You may need to experiment with various locations to

get the best results.

DATA TRANSMISSION

Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 78 seconds.

The reception icon shown in the Outdoor

Temperature Area shows the status.

RAR601 lab test R2 1/17/04, 4:47 PM7

SEARCH FOR SENSOR

To search for the sensor, press and hold UP and DOWN

for 2 seconds.

If the sensor is still not found, check the

batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.

Signals from household devices such as

doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security

systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is

normal and does not affect general product performance.

The reception will resume once the interference ends.
