Installing Batteries

You need two AA batteries (not supplied) to power the remote sensor.  For 
the longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local 
RadioShack store).

Note:  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. 23-0664).

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.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

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 "Changing the Display Channel" and "Changing the
    Degree Format" in Faxback Doc. # 56860.)

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.

If (crossed battery symbol) appears on the main unit's display when you 
select this remote sensor's channel, replace the batteries.

CAUTIONS:  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.

Mounting 

You can place the remote sensor on a flat surface, or mount it on the wall
using screws (not supplied) and the supplied bracket.

Selecting a Location

Choose a location for the remote sensor that is within 60-90 feet (20-30
meters) of the main unit.  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. 

CAUTION:  Do not place the remote sensor:
      
            Where it will be in direct sunlight.

            In water (it is weather-resistant, not water-proof).

            Near electrical appliances or heating or air conditioning
            vents.

Using the Stand

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.

On a Wall

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.
