Installing Batteries

You need four AA batteries (not supplied) to power your thermometer system
two each for the main unit and remote sensor.  For the longest life, we
recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store).

Notes:  If you expect to use the remote sensor in temperatures below -4
        degrees F. (-20 degrees C), we recommend you use lithium batteries
        (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-664) in the remote sensor.

        Install batteries in the remote sensor first, then in the main
        unit, to give the main unit time to find the remote sensor's
        signal.

CAUTIONS:  Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
           type.

           Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
           (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable) or rechargeable batteries
           of different capacities.

           Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not Burn or
           bury them.

           Always remove old or weak batteries.  Batteries can leak
           chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

In The Remote Sensor

1.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws in the battery
    compartment cover, then lift the cover to remove it.

2.  Set CHANNEL and C/F degrees inside the compartment to the desired
    settings.  (See "Setting/Selecting the Display Channel" and "Changing
    the Degree format" in Faxback Doc. # 50951.)

3.  Place two AA batteries in the compartment according to the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

4.  Use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press
    RESET and initialize the sensor's transmitter.

5.  Replace the cover and reinsert and tighten the screws.

In The Main Unit

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it in the direction
    of the arrows marked on the cover.

2.  Place two AA batteries in the compartment according to the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

3.  Replace the cover.

4.  Place the main unit next to the remote unit.  Then use a pointed
    object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET on the back
    of the unit and initialize the main unit's receiver.

When To Replace The Batteries

When (crossed battery symbol) appears below the CHANNEL indicator on the
top half of the main unit's display, replace the batteries in the remote
sensor for the selected channel.

When (crossed battery symbol) appears in the lower half of the display,
replace the batteries in the main unit.

Note:  (crossed battery symbol) remains on the display for about 1 minute
       after you replace the batteries.

Mounting

You can place the main unit and remote sensor on flat surfaces, or mount
either on the wall using the supplied bracket (remote sensor) and screws
(not supplied).

Selecting a Location

Choose locations for the main unit and remote sensor that are within 60-90
feet (20-30 meters) of each other.  The main unit should be located
indoors, but the remote sensor can be placed either indoors or out.

The construction of your home or office might affect the transmission
range between the main unit and the remote sensor. If you have a choice of
several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

CAUTIONS:  Do not place the main unit or remote sensor where it will be in
           direct sunlight.

           Do not place the main unit in a location where it is likely to
           get wet.  Only the remote sensor is weather-resistant.

           Do not place the main unit or remote sensor near electrical
           appliances or heating or air conditioning vents.

Main Unit

To set the main unit on a flat surface, pull the built-in stand away from
the back of the unit.

To mount the main unit on a wall, you need a 1/8-inch (3 mm) screw (not
supplied) with a head that fits into the keyhole slot on the back of the
main unit.

1.  Drill a hole in the wall at the desired mounting location.

2.  Thread a screw into the wall until the head extends about 1/4 inch
    from the wall.

3.  Position the keyhole slot over the screw and slide the thermometer
    down to secure it.

Remote Sensor

To set the remote sensor on a flat surface, insert the ends of the
supplied wire stand into the holes on the back of the remote sensor.

To mount the remote sensor on a wall (or on a post outdoors, for example),
you need two 1/8-inch (3 mm) screws (not supplied) with heads that fit
into the keyhole slots on the back of the supplied mounting bracket.

1.  Drill two holes 1-3/4 inches apart.  Then thread a screw into each
    hole, letting the heads extend about 1/4 inch from the mounting
    surface.

2.  Align the keyhole slots on the mounting bracket with the screws and
    slide the bracket downward to secure it.

3.  Slide the remote sensor into the mounting bracket.
