READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
Caution – Please read all instructions carefully before operating.
Remote Sensor Battery Installation:
1. Loosen the 4 screws securing the battery cover with a small screwdriver (included) and remove.
Insert 2 alkaline AAA batteries according to the polarity direction indicated.
2. Place the home receiver (Sound Spa Premier) as close as possible to the remote sensor. This
will help with synchronization between the two units.
NOTE: Once you are ready to position your remote sensor and home receiver, ensure that the
distance is not outside the effective transmission range (100 feet). Some building materials
and location of the home receiver or remote sensor can affect transmission quality and range. Try
various locations for best results.
3. Press the C/F button inside the remote sensor to change between ºC and ºF. (The remote
sensor is preset on ºF.)
4. Press the TX button inside of the remote sensor to verify the reception.
5. Replace the cover and tighten the 4 screws.
NOTE: It is recommended to test the units next to each other to ensure that both the remote
sensor and home receiver are properly synchronized.
Remote Sensor Mounting Instructions
The Remote Sensor comes with a table stand or can be wall mounted.
Table Stand -
Simply fold out the attached stand from the mounting bracket.
Wall Mounting -
Set a screw in the desired hanging location and mount.
NOTE: Keep the remote sensor out of direct sunlight and rain.
Do not mount on metal surface.
Remote Sensor Low Battery Indication
Low battery indication is available for the remote sensor. A battery life icon will display on the
remote sensor. Replace the batteries as necessary and follow the setup procedure.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Extreme temperatures, shock or areas of unusual vibration should be avoided to prevent
damage to the units.
• Clean the units using only a soft, damp cloth to wipe. Do not use solvents, abrasives, detergents
or other strong cleaning agents. After cleaning, wipe surfaces with a dry cloth.
• Do not submerge units in water or other liquids.
• Do not subject the units to extremely severe temperatures - DO NOT PLACE UNITS INTO
OVENS, FREEZERS or MICROWAVE UNITS.
NOTE: Opening the housing (other than the battery compartment) of the Remote Sensor or the
SoundSpa Unit will invalidate your warranty. Do not attempt to repair this unit - There are no
consumer serviceable parts.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Indoor and Outdoor temperatures do not match when placed next to
each other -
The sensor is manufactured to be +/- 2 degree in accuracy under normal
conditions. So it is possible to have up to four degrees difference shown on
the separate temperature sensors (one could be “+2 degree” and the other
“-2 degree”. Additionally, the calibration curve is different between the two
units because of the greater temperature range of the outdoor sensor. Errors
are usually noted on the extreme ends of the temperature ranges.
SoundSpa unit is not accepting remote transmissions -
The units may not be properly synchronized or the batteries may need to
be replaced. See “USING OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE” section for detailed
instructions. With the two units next to each other, attempt synchronization.
Remember to always place the remote sensor within the effective transmission
range and away from large metal surfaces.
What is the recommended battery type?
We recommend using only alkaline batteries.
Where can I mount the remote sensor?
To get accurate readings and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend
that you mount it out of direct sunlight and rain. Fog and mist will not affect the
sensor, but large volumes of soaking rain may. To guard against this, we
recommend that you mount it under the eve of your house, your garage or any
other suitable place that will keep it out of direct sun and rain. Modifications not
authorized by the manufacturer may void users authority to operate this device.
Outdoor Temperature Reading shows “- -”
This may indicate a low battery or out of transmission range.
