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.

systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is
normal and does not affect general product performance.
The reception will resume once the interference ends.
