Installing Batteries

Your thermometer requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power.  For 
the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline 
batteries.

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.  Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow
    marked on the cover to remove it.

2.  Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity
    symbols (+ and -) marked inside.

    The thermometer beeps and IN, OUT, MAX, MIN and -188.8 degrees E (test
    characters) appear, then IN and the indoor temperature appears (if IN/
    OUT is set to IN) or OUT and the outdoor temperature appears (if IN/
    OUT is set to OUT).

3.  Replace the cover.

When the display characters dim or disappear or the thermometer stops 
operating properly, replace the batteries.

WARNING:  Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.  Do not burn or
          bury them.

CAUTION:  If you do not plan to use the thermometer for a month or more,
          remove the batteries.  Batteries can leak chemicals that can
          destroy electronic parts.

Note:  IF the thermometer does not operate after you install the
       batteries, simply remove and reinstall them.

Mounting

You can place the thermometer on a flat surface, or mount it on the wall 
using the supplied screw.  For measuring the outside temperature, the 
thermometer's sensor cord extends up to 9.8 feet (3 meters).  You can 
easily mount the sensor to a flat surface on an outside location (such as 
a window) by using the supplied suction cup.

Selecting a Location

Choose a location indoors near a window through which you can route the 
remote sensor cord outside.

CAUTIONS:  Do not place the thermometer or remote sensor where they will
           be in direct sunlight.

           Keep the thermometer and sensor away from hot or cold sources
           such as stoves, heating and air conditioning vents, and
           radiators.

           Do not place the thermometer in water or in a location where it
           is likely to get wet.  Only the remote sensor and its cord are
           water resistant.

           Avoid placing the sensor's cord where it could be pinched or
           cut.

Mounting the Thermometer

To set the thermometer on a flat surface, slide the built-in stand away 
from the back of the unit, then pull the stand up until it snaps into 
place.

To mount the thermometer on a wall using the keyhole slot on the back of 
the thermometer and the supplied screw, follow these steps.

1.  Use the supplied screw to drill a hole in the wall at the desired
    mounting location so the head extends about 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) from
    the wall.

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

Mounting the Sensor

You can mount the outdoor sensor using he supplied suction cup and attach 
it to a flat surface (such as a window).

1.  route the sensor and its cord through a nearby window.

2.  Press the supplied suction cup onto the window's outside surface.

3.  Hang the sensor's plastic loop on the suction cup's hook.
