FACTORY RESET: How do I factory reset my clock? .................................................................................................... 12 BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES? • • • • • Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensor and as backup in your clock. Batteries with an expiration date of 2028, were manufactured in 2018. We recommend batteries with an expiration date 6 years in advance of the current year for best performance.

• • • For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies of water when possible. Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your clock, in open air is 330 feet (100 meters). Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). WHERE TO I PLACE MY CLOCK? • • • • Your clock is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop.

WHY DOESN’T THE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS ON MY CLOCK MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT? • Your temperature and humidity readings are from your sensor at your location. Your local reporting clock can be miles away so readings will differ. WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN? • • • • If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your batteries are good. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.

Try this: • Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your clock and make sure it is connected to the clock. • After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the clock for 1 hour. • If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the sensor just outside. • Continue moving the sensor back to its original location. • If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
