2.4 Night Light Power Up 1. Move the remote thermometer(s) about 5 to 10’ away from the night light (if the sensor is too close, it may not be received by the night light). If you have more than one transmitter, make sure they are all powered up and transmitting on different channels. 2. Plug the night light into the wall outlet. Watch for the backlight to change colors. Indoor Temperature will be displayed after AC ON is displayed temporarily in the time field. 3.

Note: In the Set mode, press the [CH/+] key or [MINMAX/-] key to change or scroll the value. Hold the [CH/+] key or [MINMAX/-] key for three seconds to increase/decrease rapidly. Note: In Set mode, to enter the normal mode, complete all set mode operations or wait 30 seconds for timeout. 1. 12/24 Hour Format (default: 12h):. Press the [CH/+] key to change between 12 hour and 24 hour format. 2.

display backlight color), IN (uses the indoor temperature to automatically display backlight color) or USE (manually set your own backlight color to one of 11 choices). The following section is based on the OUT, IN or USE setting selected. 12.1 OUT Backlight Color Setting (reference Figure 7). 12.2 Outdoor Backlight Color Low (OUT default: 10): Press the SET key again to change the lower range of the color changing backlight spectrum (the LOWER icon will be displayed).

2. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other 433.92MHz 433 MHz devices and communication is intermittent, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. You may need to relocate the transmitters or receivers to avoid intermittent communication. 3. Line of Sight Rating.

3.8 Adjustment or Calibration Note: The calibrated value can only be adjusted on the console. The remote sensor(s) always displays the un-calibrated or measured value. The purpose of calibration is to fine tune or correct for any sensor error associated with the devices margin of error. The measurement can be adjusted from the console to calibrate to a known source. Calibration is only useful if you have a known calibrated source you can compare it against, and is optional.

Likewise, if you track your indoor comfort level, your comfort range may be very different than someone else. Example 1: I live in Arizona, and the temperature ranges from 20 °F to 110 °F. Color Increment = (HI-LOW)/9 = (110 – 20)/9 = 10 °F. Example 2: I live in Alaska, and the temperature ranges from -20°F to 70°F. Color Increments = (HI-LOW)/9 = (70 – (-20))/9 = 10 °F.

• Battery life: Minimum 12 months for thermometer sensor (use lithium batteries in cold weather climates less than -4 °F) 7 Troubleshooting Guide Problem Solution The nightlight does not turn on. Check the night light control mode settings (Section 3.2) Wireless remote (thermometer) not reporting in to console. If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) will be displayed on the screen.
PAGE 17
Problem Solution sensors should agree within 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is ± 1 °F). Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and outdoor temperature to a known source. Outdoor color does not change as expected. Make sure the outdoor sensor is assigned to Channel 1. 8 Liability Disclaimer Please help in the preservation of the environment and return used batteries to an authorized depot. The electrical and electronic wastes contain hazardous substances.

11 Battery Safety Information Warning: Keep batteries away from children. If infant happens to swallow batteries, consult a doctor immediately. Never charge batteries. Charging batteries may cause battery electrolyte to seethe or battery internal pressure to rise. Leakage, heating, explosion or ignition of batteries may result. Do not heat or dispose of batteries in fire. Do not modify nor disassemble batteries. This may damage gaskets, and may cause ignition, heating, leakage or explosion.
