the transmitter at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature  
Station in the first few minutes of power supplying.  
successful the reception is tried for 40 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re-  
synchronization.  
IMPORTANT:  
Transmission problems will arise if the setting for additional transmitters is not followed as  
described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries  
from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.  
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION  
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries.  
When batteries will need to be replaced, the low battery icon will  
appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow  
the steps below:

LCD Screen and settings:  
*When the signal is successfully received by the Temperature Station, this icon will be switched  
on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the  
last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of  
the icon shows that a reception is being done now.

915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK  
a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above)  
otherwise transmission problems may occur.  
The transmission range is about 330 feet / 100 m from the transmitter to the Temperature  
Station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and  
interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all  
system units have to be reset (see Setting up).  
The Temperature Station should receive the temperature data within few minutes after set-up. If  
the temperature data is not being received about 2 minutes after setting up (the display shows “-  
- -” after consecutive failures in receiving signal for times), please check the following points:  
1.  
The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet  
(1.5 to 2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV  
sets.  
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR  
Low battery indicators are displayed on the LCD when the batteries require changing.  
2.  
Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal  
window frames.  
3.  
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same  
signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.  
Neighbours using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also  
cause interference.  
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:  
The Temperature Station comes attached with foldout table stand, which provides the option of  
table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor  
temperature values can be received from the desired locations.  
4.  
Note:  
When the 915MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the  
transmitter or Temperature station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:  
The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall  
Free standing  
With the foldout stand, the Temperature Station can be placed onto any flat  
surface.  
with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be position on a  
flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.  
To wall mount:  
To wall mount  
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic  
anchors.  
2. Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the bracket.  
1.  
Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head  
extended out the by about 5mm.  
Hang the temperature station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that  
it locks into place before releasing.  
2.  
Note: In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your  
sensor we recommend that you have it in a sheltered area out of the sun  
and direct rain. Fog and Mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in  
21  
22  
water may. You can mount it outside under an eve of your house or any other suitable place  
that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic  
bag as these can cause condensation problems and substantially reduced accuracy. Please  
note a sensor in the Sun will provide inaccurate temperature readings.  
Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of  
purchase for repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may  
invalidate their guarantee.  
Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to  
rapid changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.  
Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to  
check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not  
received, relocate the transmitter(s) or move them slightly as this may help the signal reception.
