GETTING STARTED
BATTERIES
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need
to purchase 2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for
the main unit, and 2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V alkaline batteries
for the remote sensor.
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as
shown in the battery compartment. For best results,
install batteries in the remote sensor before the main
unit. Press RESET after each battery change.
Do not use rechargeable batteries.
NOTE
shows on LCD display when batteries are low.
CHANGE SETTINGS
1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting
mode.
2. Press UP or DOWN to change settings.
3. Press MODE to confirm.
REMOTE SENSOR (THN122)
This product is shipped with a THN122 Thermo Sensor
that collects Temperature data. Data can be collected
from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately.

3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor to initiate signal sending between the
sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on
the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes
while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the
Sensor Data Transmission section for more
information.)
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
SETUP SENSOR
Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a
small Phillips screwdriver.
1. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown
in the battery compartment.
2. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment.
For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the channel and
temperature unit before you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view
to the sky, away from metallic or electronic
objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit
during cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance and
signal transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
SWITCH OPTION
Channel Channel 1 - 3. If you are using
more than one sensor, select a
different channel for each sensor.

SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
If the sensor is still not found, check the
batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
Signals from household devices such as
doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security
systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is
normal and does not affect general product performance.
The reception will resume once the interference ends.
