12-255 7 Channel SAME Weatheradio: How to Program The Temperature Sensor

In this tutorial, you will be shown how to program the temperature sensors. Paired with the remote sensor, your Weatheradio registers temperatures indoors and outdoors. When you set the Weatheradio and the remote sensor to the same channel (1-3), your Weatheradio displays the current temperatures. You can view the minimum and maximum temperatures and display the temperature in °C or °F.

This tutorial is divided into 3 sub-tutorials, each of which start with the same two steps:

• Resetting Indoor/Outdoor Temperatures
• Setting °C/°F
• Setting the Remote Channel
