Your RadioShack Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Wire-
less Remote Sensor is a complete system that lets you mon~
itor the temperature indoors and out! You can hang the main
unit indoors on a wall or use its built-in stand for easy view-
ing on a table or desktop. You can place the supplied remote
sensor outdoors or in another room to monitor the tempera
ture at that location. '

The system’s features inlalude:
Dual Line Temperature Display —— the top half of the main
unit’s display shows the temperature at the remote sensor
(outdoors, for example) and the bottom half shows the tem-
perature at the main unit’s location.
Temperature Alarm —- lets you set the main unit to sound
an alarm each time a set high or low temperature is reached
at a remote sensor's location.

replace the batteries. '
MOUNTING
You can place the main unit and remote sensor on flat sur-
faces, or mount either on the wall using the supplied bracket
(remote sensor) and screws (not supplied).
Selecting a Location
Choose locations for the’risain unit and remote sensor that
are within 60-90 feet (20—30 meters) of each other. The
main unit should be located indoors, but the remote sensor
can be placed either indoors or out.
The construction of your home or office might affect the
transmission range between the “main unit and the remote
sensor. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to
see which provides the best performance.
Cautions:
- Do not place the main unit or remote sensor where it will
be in direct sunlight. '

. 0 Do not place the main unit in a location where it is likely
to get wet. Only the remote sensor is weather~resistant.
- Do not place the main unit or remote sensor near electri-
cal appliances or heating or air conditioning vents.
Main Unit
To set the main unit on a flat surface, pull the built-in stand
away from the back of the unit.
To mount the main unit on a wall, you need a Via-inch (3-mm)
screw (not supplied) with a head that fits into the keyhole
slot on the back of the main unit.
1. Drill a hole inithe wall atythe desired mounting location.
2. Thread a screw into the wall until the head extends
about ‘14 inch from the wall.

OPERATION
Once you install batteries in the remote'sensor and the main
unit, the remote sensor displays its local' temperature and
starts transmitting signals about every 30 seconds. The main
unit starts searching for those signals. '
The temperature measured at the main unit appears on the
bottom half of its display (indicated by @). Once the main
unit receives the remote sensor's signal, the temperature
measured at the remote sensor appears on the top half of
the display. -

Setting/Selecting the DiSpIay Channel
Your thermometer system's main unit can display informa-
tion for up to three different remote sensors Additional re-
mote sensors (Cat. No. 63—1027) are available at your local
RadioShack store
Set CHANNEL 1/2/3 inside each remote sensor’s battery
compartment to a different setting.
CHANNEL
To diaplay the temperature information for a remote sensor,
repeatedly (if necessary) press CHANNEL on the main unit
you see the channel number you set that sensor to use
Channel Number
Note: If you set two or nipre remote sensors to use- the
same channel, the main unit displays temperature informa-
tion for the remote sensor‘s signal it received first.

Changing the Degree Format
You can view the temperature in Fahrenheit ('F) or Celsius
(’C) format on' the main unit and on the remote sensor, and
set each separately.
To change the degree format displayed on the remote sen-
sor, set ‘C /‘F inside the remote sensor's battery compart-
ment to the desired setting.

Reading the Temperature Trend Display
The main unit displays the current temperature trend as ris-
ing, steady, or falling. The trend is based on the average
temperature measured at the selected channel’s remote
sensor within the last 30 minutes.

TREND i;REND TREND
Note: If your thermometer displays HH.H' or LL.L‘, this
means that the temperature has exceeded or fallen below
the thermometers measurement range (see “Specifications"
on Page 22). When the temperature returns to within the
measurement range, the display returns to normal.
Reading the Kinetic Wave Display
The kinetic wave display (directly above the CHANNEL
number) shows the status of the signal being received by the
main unit, The display consists of three graduated arcs

Checking the Maximum/Minimum
Temperatures
The main unit stores the maximum (highest) and minimum
(lowest) iocal temperatures and those of each remote sensor
in its memory.
Follow these steps to recall the maximum and minimum tem—

you press A after reaching that limit, the range starts
over at —50 ' C (_58', F).
4. To turn on the alarm tor the selected limit (HI or L0),
press ON/OFF TEMP ALE so H]: or L0 appears. Or. press
it so OFF appears to turn off that limit's alarm.
5. Repeat Steps 2—4 (if desired) to set the other limit and
turn its alarm on or off, then press Ht/LO to return to the
current temperature display.
TROUBLESHOOTING
{a Manually Searching for a Signal
It the main unit displays —- . - instead of a temperature or it
continuously displays a temperature different than that dis-
played on the selected channel's remote sensor, thismeans
the main unit has stopped receiving a signal from the sensor.
Press CHANNEL and MEM at jhe same time on the main unit
to have it manually search for“ a signal.
ii;
if the main unit still does not operate properly, try placing it or
the remote sensor in a differef'jt location or resetting the sys-
tem (see “Troubleshooting” on Page 18). - a

Resetting the System
If the main unit stops operating properly (and you have tried
manually searching for a signal) use a pointed object (such
as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET. This resets all
display elements and temperature settings.
If the remote sensor stops operating properly (and you have
tried manually searching for a signal) use a pointed object
46} ‘ (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET inside
the remote sensor’s battery compartment. This resets the
displayed temperature and reinitializes the sensor’s trans-
mitter.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your FladioShack Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer is an exam-
ple of superior design and craftsmanship. The following sug-
gestions will help you care for your thermometer system so
you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the system away from dust and dirt,
which can cause premature wear of parts.
Handle the system gently and carefully. Drop-
ping’a component can damage circuit boards
and cases and can cause the systemto work
improperly.
Use only fresh batteries of the required size
and recommended type. Batteries can leak
chemicals that damage your system‘s elec-
tronic parts.
Wipe the system with a damp cloth occasion-
ally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh .
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter-
gents to clean the system's components.
Modifying or tampering with the thermometer system's inter-
nal components can cause a malfunction and might invali-
date its warranty. If your; thermometer system is not
performing as it should, take it to your local FladioShack store
for assistance. -
