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.

TABLE STAND OR WALL MOUNT

Use the stand on the back of the product, or mount it on

a wall with a nail.

REMOTE SENSOR (THGR122NX)

This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo/

Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity

data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors.

Additional sensors sold separately.

SETUP SENSOR

1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with

a small Phillips screwdriver.

2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown

in the battery compartment.

3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery

compartment.

GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES

Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will need

to purchase 3 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 when batteries are low.

SWITCH OPTION

Channel Channel 1 - 3. If you are using

more than one sensor, select a

different channel for each sensor.

BAR618HGA lab test R4 2/18/04, 11:26 AM6

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.

For best results:

•Insert the batteries and select the channel 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.

BAR618HGA lab test R4 2/18/04, 11:26 AM7

NOTE

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.

CLOCK

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.

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.

To force a manual search for Atomic Clock signals, press

and hold UP for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check

the batteries.

If the Atomic Clock signal is received and the

hour is incorrect, use the "timezone offset" feature to

adjust it to the appropriate timezone. Please see "SET

CLOCK" on pg. 9 for instructions.

DATA TRANSMISSION

Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds.

The reception icon shown in the Temperature and

Humidity Areas show the status.

--- shows in Outdoor

Temp / Humidity Area

ICON 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)

The selected sensor cannot

be found. Search for the

sensor or check batteries.
