SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warning
Batteries are extremely dangerous when swallowed.
Therefore keep batteries and devices out of the reach of small children. If a battery has been
swallowed seek immediate medical advice. The cells supplied must not be recharged, reactivated
by any other means, is-mantled, exposed to an open flame, or short-circuited.
-Although the thermometer sender is weather-proof, please be sure that it is not placed where it
will be exposed to rainfall and direct sunlight.
-Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents to clean the base station or sensors. Doing this may
damage the surface or lead to corrosion of electronic parts.
-Furniture today is often coated with a wide range of varnishes and plastics and is treated with
various substances. Therefore, it cannot be fully ruled out that some of these substances contain
components that can damage or soften the rubber feet. If necessary, put the base station on
something that will not slip.
- If a sensor is exposed to very low temperatures for an extended period of time, the batteries may
lose power, which may cause the transmission range to be limited. Higher temperatures also reduce
battery performance.

INSTALLATION OR WALL-MOUNTING
The base station
Choose a location for placing the base station, which is not exposed to sunlight.
Before final mounting of the base station, check if the unit is picking up a signal which is not being
impaired by parts of the building. If the signal is poor, choose a different place for mounting the
base station.
The notch on the back of the station allows you to mount the unit on the wall.
Place the base station on the stand supplied with the unit.
Sensor
Select a location for placement of the sensor, which is not exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
You may mount the sensor on a wall-mount unit or place it on a tabletop holder.
To set up the sensor, fold out the stand on the back of the holder.
Range
- Place the sensor within a radius of up to 30 m of the base station.
The reception range depends on the physical properties of the building where the base station is
used. Steel-reinforce walls, for example, reduce the reception range.
- Do not place it near the floor or ceiling, as this reduces the transmission range.
- At very low temperatures below freezing, the battery output may drop considerably and thus the
transmitting range may be temporarily reduced.
- Please bear in mind that the actual range of the sensors depends on the materials used in
constructing the building as well as where they are placed.
- Consider testing different locations.
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES
The base station saves measured minimum and maximum temperatures from each sensor and also
the room temperature reading since initial use or since the temperature was last erased.
Call-up data
Press the HOUR/MAX button once to display the saved maximum temperatures of the currently
displayed sensor at the base station. MAX is displayed to the left of the temperature. To display the
saved minimum temperature, press the MINUTE/MIN button. MIN is displayed to the left of the
temperature.
To display the current temperatures again, press the HOUR/MAX button once more or press
MINUTE/MIN.
Clear data

Manually registering a senor
If contact with the sensor and base station is not established automatically, register the sensor with
the base station manually
• Press the REMOTE button and hold for 3 seconds. The “symbol” starts to flash and the
base station confirms your setting by sounding an audible tone.
• As soon as the base station has detected a sensor signal, one beep tone is emitted. The base
station display then shows the temperature value received from the sensor.
• There are 3 synchronization stages: Receiving, Synchronized and Lost signal
stage. Different symbols represent different stages as follows:
Stages Symbols
Receiving
Synchronized
Lost signals No symbol shown, and the temperature data
of remote channel will be flashing
• It is recommended to place the transmitter and receiver together during
synchronization process. If the red indicator of transmitter flashes and the data is
shown onto the receiver, this process is considered to be successful; otherwise, it
is recommended to repeat this process.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
If the battery symbol is displayed next to the Clock display, then the base station batteries have run
dry.
If the battery symbol is displayed next to the temperature display for a sensor, then the sensor
batteries have run dry.
We recommend using alkaline batteries. You will need two AAA batteries (LR03) for the base
station.
Batteries must be properly disposed of. For this purpose all shops selling batteries provide battery
collection boxes on their premises. Used batteries can also be disposed of at public waste collection
facilities.
Changing the batteries in the base station will cause all settings to be erased.
After changing the batteries on the base station, it will find existing sensors automatically.
After changing the batteries in a sensor, you must register sensor at the base station again as
described in chapter “Manually registering a senor ”.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Protect the base station and sensor from dust, impacts, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If
needed, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Do not expose the base station to any moisture.
The sensor is protected against humidity. If you want to mount it outdoors, look for a protected
place that is not directly exposed to sunlight or rain.
TROUBLESHOOTING
5The sensor signal is not being received
-Are the station and sensor batteries working properly?
If the sensor is exposed to temperatures below freezing for longer periods of time, this may affect
battery performance and the range of reception. At higher temperatures, the original battery output
is retrieved.
-Has the sensor been set up within the 30 m perimeter for reception?
Note that the actual range of the sensors depends on the materials used for the building as well as
the relevant position. Consider testing different locations.
-Is the station too close to a television set or computer monitor?
Try changing the location of the station.
-Other devices employing radio transmission such as garage door openers, alarm systems or
wireless headphones may temporarily cause reception to be poor. However, reception of the
temperature signals is resumed once the disturbance is over.
-Have you changed the batteries in the sensor?
You have to register the sensor with the base station again.
5The temperature shown by the base station does not match the sensor temperature
There is a different radio transmitter nearby. Perhaps your neighbour owns a similar device.
Change the house code setting to ensure that only the signals from those sensors you have set up
are displayed.
1. Open the battery compartment of the sensor.
2. Press the House Code button in order to change the transmitter house code, and it can
distinguish with other transmitter. It is highly recommended if interference is experienced.
3. Select a house code from 1 to 15 by pressing the House Code button from 1 to 15 times
respectively, and LED will flash according to indicate number you press and your selection. Then
the signals based on the new house code will send and the LED indicator flashes after 20 seconds
later without further modification made.
