GETTING STARTED

POWER

Insert batteries before ﬁrst use, matching the polarity

(+ and -).

NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the

main unit. Press RESET after each battery change. Do

not use rechargeable batteries. We recommend that

you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer

usage and lithium batteries in temperatures below

freezing.

shows when batteries are low.

UNIT LOCATION

Main Indoor temperature area

Remote Outdoor temperature area

REMOTE SENSOR

The sensor collects temperature readings approx.

every 40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The

main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.

To set up the sensor:

1. Slide open the battery door.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -).

Reset after each battery change.

3. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different

channel for each sensor.

4. Close the battery compartment.

5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using

the wall mount or table stand.

RMR382_EU_M_EN_R2.indd 4 5/12/06 7:10:50 PM

For best results:

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters (100

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.

The transmission range may vary depending on many

factors. You may need to experiment with various

locations to get the best results.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain signiﬁcant

amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze

in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F).

Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower

threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing

range of below -30°C(-22°F).

Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors

such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold

may temporarily reduce the effective range between the

sensor and the base station. If the unit’s performance

fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper

functioning as the temperature rises to within the

normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage

will occur to the unit due to low temperatures).

SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION

The reception icon in the outdoor temperature area

shows the status.

ICON DESCRIPTION

Main unit is searching for the

sensor(s)

A channel has been found and

sensor signal is being received

The sensor cannot be found.

Search for the sensor or check

batteries

To search for a sensor:

Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL

for 2 seconds.

NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the

batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.

CLOCK

CLOCK RECEPTION

This product is designed to synchronize its date and time

automatically once it is within range of a radio signal:

• DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for

Central Europe

and “- -.-”(Outdoor

temperature area)

RMR382_EU_M_EN_R2.indd 5 5/12/06 7:10:51 PM

• MSF-60 generated from Rugby, England

The radio signal range is 1500 km (932 miles).

NOTE Slide the EU / UK switch to appropriate position

for your location. Repeat each time you reset the unit.

NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for ﬁrst set up

or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception

icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up

to 24 hours to get a valid signal.

RECEPTION SIGNAL

STRONG WEAK NO SIGNAL

To enable and force a signal search:

Press and hold for 2 seconds.

To disable the signal reception:

Press and hold for 2 seconds.

SET CLOCK

If the clock signal reception is enabled and a signal is

being received the clock does not need to be manually

set.

To manually set the clock:

1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds.

2. Press and to change the settings.

3. Press MODE to conﬁrm.
