WARNING
Important Safety Information
• Read this manual thoroughly prior to programming or operating
any remote control.
• This remote control system requires three (3) “AAA” alkaline
batteries to power the transmitter.
• This remote control system should only be used as described in
this manual. Any other use is not recommended and will void
the warranty.
Due to the sensitive temperature monitoring
components in the transmitter, it is necessary to
allow the transmitter to stabilize to room tem-
perature before accurate room temperatures are
displayed. If the transmitter is activated from a
severe cold condition, allow 15 minutes for accu-
rate temperature readings to appear on the LCD
display.
Turn appliance OFF (at the appliance or remote
receiver) if you are away from your house for an
extended period of time. Never leave anything
on top of the surface of the transmitter. Any
modification of components will void the war-
ranty and may cause a fire hazard.

tery door.
