To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1.
HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The Outdoor Temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA. IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Remove the battery cover at the front side with an appropriate Battery compartment screwdriver. 2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see battery compartment marking). 3. Replace the battery cover on the unit .
BATTERY CHANGE: User shall replace batteries of the temperature station when the battery low indicator is displayed at the LCD. If user does not replace batteries, working error may be resulted. Note: • After changing batteries in temperature station, there is no need for user to reset the temperature station. In fact, the temperature station can remember all transmitter information and sequence as per the pervious set-up.
Note: If the indoor temperature and humidity are not displayed after 15 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 2 minutes before reinserting them. Also check if the battery has been used up. User is recommended to use new alkaline batteries to the units. There is a four-minute time for user to set up all transmitters one by one, after inserting batteries to the temperature station. The below steps 2 to 4 shall be completed within this 4-minute time. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

CLEARING ALL STORED TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY DATA (FROM TEMPORARY MEMORY OF THE TEMPERATURE STATION) The on-going temperature and humidity data are stored at the ring buffer memory (a temporary memory area where the latest data will displace the oldest data once the memory capacity is reached).
Press and hold OK key first Immediately press these 3 keys at the same time. Then hold the 4 keys together for about 3 seconds. 3. The running digits will be displayed for about 6 minutes, followed by the full segment display. User is then required to remove and re-insert batteries to complete the restart the unit. Note: All data in temperature station will be cleared after the factory reset. The permanent memory of the temperature station will be reset and all the data (of all channels) stored.
The display will show some running digits when the temperature station is reset. Full segment will be displayed- user need to remove and re-insert batteries to restart the temperature station.
After batteries are re-inserted, the station will automatically launch the learn mode. The signal receipt indicator will be displayed. User needs to set again the temperature station for the desired application. (See ”SETTING UP” in previous clause) Note: • • If the battery level is low, the digits “No EPr” may be displayed on LCD after resetting, indicating that the power is too low for the temperature station to function normally. In this case, the batteries shall be replaced.
CHECKING FOR 433MHz RECEPTION If the outdoor temperature data is not being received within three minutes after setting up (or outdoor display show “- -. -” in the outdoor section of the Temperature Station after 3 failed attempts during normal operation), please check the following points: 1. The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitters should be at least 2 meters away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. 2.
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION: The Temperature Station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature(s) can be received from the desired location(s). To wall mount: 1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm. 2. away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If e.g. the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it may either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not placing the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate proximity (garage doors, double glazing etc.).
SPECIFICATIONS: Temperature measuring range: Indoor : -9.9ºC to +59.9ºC with 0.1°C resolution +14ºF to +139.8ºF with 0.2ºF resolution (“- -” displayed if outside this range) Outdoor : -29.9ºC to +69.9ºC with 0.1°C resolution -21.8ºF to +157.8ºF with 0.
