GETTING STARTED
Choosing a location for the base unit and handset cradle
The base unit records and displays the indoor temperature, when selecting a
location, observe the following guidelines:
• Choose a location that provides easy access to a 120-volt AC power
source.
• Choose a location that will allow the telephone cable to reach a telephone
jack. You can use an extension jack or cable if necessary.
• Place the base unit as high as possible to get a better radio frequency range
with the handset. You may need to try several locations – such as upstairs,
or near a first-floor landing – to find the best range. Solid structures such as
walls and doors may reduce the signal strength.
• Do not place the base unit near a sink, bathtub, or shower.
• Do not place the base unit near objects that may cause radio interference,
such as another telephone, large metal objects such a mirror or filing
cabinet, or electrical appliances such as an electric stove, washing machine,
microwave oven, television, and fluorescent lights.
• Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight.
Installation tips
Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to
nearby TVs, microwave ovens, and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such
interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed near or on
top of a TV, microwave oven, or VCR. If such interference continues, move the
cordless telephone farther away from these appliances.
Certain other communications devices may also use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication and if not set properly these devices may interfere with each other
and/or your new telephone. If you are concerned with interference, please refer to
the owner’s manual for these devices on how to properly set channels to avoid
interference. Typical devices that may use the 2.4 GHz frequency for
communication include wireless audio/video senders, wireless computer
networks, multi-handset cordless telephone systems, and some long-range
cordless telephone systems.

GETTING STARTED
Remote sensor setup
This product can receive and transmit the outdoor temperature then relay it back
to the base unit. It can be used with up to 2 other remote sensors to transmit data
back to the base unit. Additional remote sensors that measure temperature are
sold separately. If you are using more than one remote sensor, be sure to select
a different channel number for each unit.
1. Place the remote unit as close
as possible to the base unit.
2. Remove the battery
compartment lid by using a
Philips screwdriver to loosen
the screws, and then insert the
batteries. Be sure to match
polarities as shown.
3. Assign a channel number 1, 2, or 3. If you are using
more than one remote unit, select a different channel
number for each unit.
4. Select the temperature measurement unit °C or °F.
5. Press RESET with the point of a blunt object (such as a
ball point pen).
6. Replace the battery compartment lid. Secure.
7. Position the remote unit using either the recess hole on the back of the unit
or the included stand. For best results:
• Place the unit away from electrical or mechanical objects.
• Place the unit out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the remote unit more than 25 meters (82 feet) from
the base unit.
• Position the unit so that it faces the base unit. Minimize
obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.
• You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best
reception.
8. Connect the adapter to the base unit, press and hold TEMP on the base
until the CH icon blinks. It will take 3 minutes for the base to search for
available remote sensors even if you only have one sensor.
9. Once the batteries are in place, the sensor will transmit signals every 40
seconds. The readings shown on the base unit depend on which remote
sensor (1,2 or 3) is selected.

performance of the rechargeable battery in the handset. To maximize the battery
performance, follow these guidelines:
Charge it for a full 15 continuous hours
Before initial use of your new battery, charge it for 15 continuous hours. The
proper initial charging is very important to maximize the battery performance.
Keep the contacts clean
You can never fully recharge the battery if the contacts are dirty. Clean all the
contacts-two at the bottom of handset and two in the base cradle-periodically
using a pencil eraser.
Do not replace the handset in the base after each call
Repeated short charging creates a memory effect in the battery. Once a
rechargeable battery acquires this “short memory”, it sends a “CHARGE
BATTERY” signal even when it is almost fully charged. The battery then needs to
be charged frequently. To avoid this, leave the handset away from the cradle
until it really needs recharging.
Refresh battery
If your battery seems to need recharging more often than usual, it may have lost
part of its charging capacity because of premature recharges. To bring back its
full capacity, try “refreshing” the battery:
39
1. First discharge the battery by leaving the handset in TALK mode until
Battery Low indication turns on. (Disconnect the base from the telephone
line, so that your line is not busy all the time.)
2. Then charge it for 15 continuous hours.
3. Repeat the above once more.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
REN Number:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum
number of terminal allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface.
The REN number of this phone is
located on the bottom of the base unit.
The termination on an interface may
consist of any combination of device
subject only to the requirement that the
sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers
of all the devices does not exceed 5.
CAUTION
This product is intended for use in
CANADA and US only. Sale or use in
other countries may violate local laws.
Cordless telephones use radio
frequencies to allow mobility. This
affects the performance of your phone.
1. NOISE
Electrical pulse noise is present in most
homes at one time or another. This is
most intense during electrical storms.
Certain kinds of electrical equipment,
such as light dimmers, fluorescent
bulbs, motors, fans, etc., also generate
pulse noise.
Because radio frequencies are
susceptible to this, you may on occasion
hear pulse noise through the handset.
This is usually only a minor annoyance
and should not be interpreted as a
defect of the phone.
2. RANGE
Because radio frequencies are used, the
location of the base station can affect
the operating range of the phone. Try
several locations and choose the one
that gives the clearest signal to the
handset. (Turning in a circle while
holding the handset may also increase
the operating range.)
3. INTERFERENCE
Electronic circuits activate a relay to
connect the unit to your telephone line.
These electronic circuits operate in the
radio frequency spectrum. While several
protection circuits are used to prevent
unwanted signals, there may be periods
when these unwanted signals enter the
base station. You may hear click or hear
the relay activate when you are not
using the cordless handset. If this
occurs frequently, you can minimize or
eliminate the problem by lowering the
height of the base station or relocating
the base station. It may also be helpful
to change the operating channel and/or
the security code setting.
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
NOTICE:
Privacy of communications may not be
ensured when using this telephone.
Other devices, including other cordless
telephones, may interfere with the
operation of this cordless telephone or
cause noise during operation. Units
without coded access may be accessed
by other radio communication systems.
Cordless telephones must not cause
interference to any licensed radio
service.
