Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. or to change settings. 2. Press 3. Press MODE to confirm. TABLE STAND OR WALL MOUNT 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. Use the stand on the back of the product, or mount it on a wall with a nail. NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. shows when batteries are low. UNIT Main LOCATION Indoor Temperature / Humidity Area Remote Outdoor Temperature / Humidity Area REMOTE SENSOR (THGR268) This product is shipped with a THGR268 Thermo-Hygro Sensor that collects temperature and humidity data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately. ACCESS FRONT BUTTON PANEL The front button panel is located inside the right portion of the main unit. Slide it right to access the buttons. BAR608HA_EN_R0C.p65 6/29/04, 4:52 PM EN CHANGE SETTINGS GETTING STARTED EN For best results: SETUP SENSOR 1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. • Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor. 2. Insert 2 alkaline batteries (UM-3 or "AA" size 1.5V), matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment. • Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. SWITCH OPTION Channel Channel 1 - 3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor. 3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment. 4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL on the main unit 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.) 5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment. 6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand. • 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. NOTE The sensor's comfort level reading is based on the recorded relative humidity. An indicator will be displayed to show if the level is comfortable, wet or dry. BAR608HA_EN_R0C.p65 6/29/04, 4:52 PM CLOCK Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature and Humidity Areas show the status. ICON --- shows in outdoor temp / humidity area EN DATA TRANSMISSION This product shows the current time, and day of week in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. The US Atomic Clock in Boulder, Colorado automatically updates this information unless you disable the feature. The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. DESCRIPTION Main unit is searching for sensors. At least 1 channel has been found. Channel 1 is selected (number will change depending on the sensor you select) Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area. The selected sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries. STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL NO SIGNAL SEARCH FOR SENSOR To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
