2Repeater SetupInstall or Replace BatteriesAcuRite recommends high quality alkaline or lithium batteries in the repeater for the best product performance. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended.The repeater requires lithium batteries in low temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the repeater for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.1. Slide off the battery compartment cover.2. Insert 6 x AA batteries into the battery compartment, as shown. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment.3. Replace the battery cover.NOTE: When batteries need to be changed, replace the upper 3 batteries before replacing the lower 3 batteries to avoid interrupting signal transmission. SETUPPLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in re, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.Install Batteries 6 AA batteries
3Search for Available Sensors Once the repeater is powered on (switches turned to ON in the battery compartment), it will begin searching for sensors transmitting the corresponding ID for 5-10 minutes. If you wish to connect a sensor after the initial 5-10 minute search, press and release the "Search" button in the battery compartment to manually search for sensors within range.Connecting one sensor1. Relocate the sensor near the repeater and take note of the A-B-C channel. All compatible sensors have an A-B-C channel, except monitors (models 00275 and 00276) which use channel ID "P" on the repeater. 2. Turn ON the corresponding channel ID switch for this sensor in the battery compartment of the repeater.3.Waitforthechannel'sLEDindicatortoash,conrmingthatthesensorisconnected and is transmitting the sensor's signal.Connecting multiple sensors1. Of your available sensors, determine which ones need their wireless signal repeated. Relocate those sensors near the repeater. Take note of the A-B-C channels. All compatible sensors have an A-B-C channel, except monitors (models 00275 and 00276) which use channel ID "P" on the repeater. 2. Turn ON the corresponding channel ID switches for these sensors in the battery compartment of the repeater.3.WaitfortheLEDindicatortoash*foreachactiverepeater,conrmingthatthe sensors are connected and are transmitting the sensor's signal.*IftherepeaterhasconnectedtomorethanonesensorwiththesamechannelID, the LED indicates how many sensors with that channel ID are being repeated:•Oneash:Indicatesthatonesensorwasrepeated.•Twoashes:Indicatesthatthesecondoftwosensorswasrepeated.•Threeashes:Indicatesthatthethirdofthreesensorswasrepeated.NOTE: You may connect up to 3 sensors per channel ID, however for best results, use separate A-B-C channel IDs for sensors that include this setting. Refer to the corresponding sensor manual for instructions on setting the A-B-C channel.
4Placement for Maximum RangeProper placement of the repeater is critical to the performance of this product. Several factors may limit the sensor's ability to communicate with companion products. The sensor's wireless signal may be limited by obstructions such as buildings, roofs, natural landscapes or other objects that break the sensor's "line-of-sight." Refer to the suggested placement options of the repeater below to maximize wireless communication.Suggested PlacementPosition the repeater within 330 feet (100 m) of both the sensor and companion unit. The repeater should be placed where it has a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight from the sensor(s) to the companion unit.Compatible SensorCompanion ProductCompanion Product Compatible SensorCompatible Sensor(100 meters)(i.e. Display)(330 feet maximum)(100 meters)(330 feet maximum)Companion ProductABCTIP: Additional repeaters (sold separately) may be used to extend wireless signal range.
5Important Placement GuidelinesRepeater is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the repeater in an area protected from direct weather elements.Hang the repeater using the integrated hang hole or hanger, or by using string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location.• Repeater must be within 330 ft (100 m) of companion units (sold seperately).• To maximize wireless range, place repeater away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.• To prevent wireless interference, place repeater at least 3 ft (0.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).Problem Possible SolutionCompanion product (i.e. Display) showing poor sensor receptionIf the companion product's wireless signal indicator shows poor reception, it may be an indication that it is still connecting directly to the sensor, instead of the repeater.1. Power down the companion product (unplug power adapter, remove batteries).2.Conrmthatthesensorisconnectedtotherepeater.Therepeater'sactivechannelIDwillash,indicatingthat the sensor's data is being transmitted.3.

The products must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other. • Make sure products (Repeater, display, Monitors, Sensors) are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc). • Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in Repeater, Monitors and Sensors when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take a few minutes for repeater and sensors to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
