GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need to purchase 4 X UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the main unit, and 2 X UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the remote sensor.

Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment. For best results, install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. Press RESET after each battery change.

NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer performance.

NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.

To mount the product on a wall, put the stand inside the back of the unit and then place it on a wall, as shown below.

REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)

This product is shipped with two THN122N Thermometer

Sensors that collect temperature data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately.

SETUP SENSOR

1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and –) as shown in the battery compartment.

SWITCH

Channel

OPTION

Channel 1-3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor.

3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment.

4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and

CHANNEL 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 “Data Transmission” section for more information.)

5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.

6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.

6

BAR888RA_EN_R15 6

Installing the batteries:

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 230 feet (70 meters) 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 af fect batter y perfor mance 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 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows the status.

ICON DESCRIPTION

Main unit is searching for sensors.

--- shows in Outdoor

Temp Area

At least 1 Channel has been found.

Channel 1 is selected

(number will change depending on the sensor you select).

The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries.

SEARCH FOR SENSOR

To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and

CHANNEL for 2 seconds.

NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit loaction.

NOTE 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.

CLOCK

The main unit automatically synchronizes the current time and date on the clock when it is brought within range of the WWVB-60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort

Collins, Colorado. For more information, please visit: www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.stations/radioclocks.htm.

The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within

932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press

RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
