INSTALLING BATTERIES Your sensor requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
3-1031.fm Page 6 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM Note: If you expect to use the remote sensor in temperatures below –4°F (–20°C), we recommend you use lithium batteries. Follow these steps to install batteries. 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws in the battery compartment cover, then lift off the cover. 2.

Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. 4. Use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET and initialize the sensor’s transmitter. 5. Replace the cover and secure it with its screws.
63-1031.fm Page 8 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them. Caution: If you do not plan to use the sensor for a week or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. MOUNTING THE SENSOR You can place the remote sensor on a flat surface, or mount it on the wall using screws (not supplied) and the supplied bracket.
63-1031.fm Page 9 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM 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.
63-1031.fm Page 10 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM stand into the holes on the back of the remote sensor. On a Wall 1. Drill two holes 13/4 inches apart. Then thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 1/4 inch from the mounting surface.

63-1031.fm Page 13 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM ˆ Operation Once you install batteries in the remote sensor, it displays the current temperature, humidity, and the channel number it is set to, and starts transmitting signals (to your Cat. No. 63-1030 system’s main unit) about every 41 seconds. CHANGING THE DISPLAY CHANNEL The Cat. No. 63-1030 system’s main unit can display information for up to three different remote sensors.
63-1031.fm Page 14 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM Set CHANNEL 1/2/3 inside this remote sensor’s battery compartment to a different setting than all other remote sensors you are using. Then press RESET using a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip). Note: If you set two or more remote sensors to use the same channel, the main unit displays temperature and humidity information for the remote sensor's signal it received first.
63-1031.fm Page 15 Wednesday, June 28, 2000 10:25 AM CHANGING THE DEGREE FORMAT To change the displayed degree format, set °C/°F inside the remote sensor’s battery compartment to the desired setting. RESETTING THE SENSOR If the remote sensor stops operating properly, use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET.
