GETTING STARTED

BATTERIES Batteries are supplied with this product: Main unit Remote unit 3 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries 2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V batteries
TABLE STAND OR WALL MOUNT Use the stand on the back of the main unit / remote sensor, or mount it on a wall with a nail. To attach the main unit stand:
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity (+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment. For best results, install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. Press RESET after each battery change. NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. shows when batteries are low. To use the main unit wall mount:
NOTE It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer performance. UNIT Main Remote LOCATION Indoor Temperature / Humidity Area Outdoor Temperature / Humidity Area
Installing the batteries: To use the remote sensor stand or wall mount:
ACCESS FRONT BUTTON PANEL The front button panel is located inside the right portion of the main unit. Slide it right to access the buttons. CHANGE SETTINGS To change, time, calendar and language settings: 1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. 2. Press or to change settings. (To reach the setting you want quickly, press and hold or.) 3. Press MODE to confirm.

This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo / Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold separately.
SETUP SENSOR 1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. 2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ and -) as shown in the battery compartment.
SWITCH OPTION Channel Channel 1-3. If you are using more than one sensor, select a different channel for each sensor.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR To search for a sensor, press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL (on the main unit) for 2 seconds. NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location. NOTE Signals from household devices such as doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect general product performance. The reception will resume once the interference ends.
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment. 4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEMORY and CHANNEL on the main unit to initiate signal sending between the sensor and the main unit. The reception icon on the main unit will blink for approximately 3 minutes while it is searching for the sensor. (Refer to the Sensor Data Transmission section for more information.) 5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment. 6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand.
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time and date when it is brought within range of the radio signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for Central Europe (model BAR629HG) or MSF60 generated from Rugby, England (model BAR629HGU). NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area. STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL NO SIGNAL

For best results: Insert the batteries and select the channel before you mount the sensor. Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit. Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects. Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results.
To force a manual search for clock signals, press and hold for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check the batteries.
TURN CLOCK ON / OFF DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The reception icon shown in the Temperature and Humidity Areas show the status. ICON DESCRIPTION Main unit is searching for sensors. At least 1 channel has been found. Channel 1 is selected (number will change depending on the sensor you select) --- shows in Outdoor The selected sensor cannot Temp / Humidity Area be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries. Perform this step if you cannot receive clock signals. Press and hold for 2 seconds. Then, manually set the clock following the Set Clock instructions (below). The signal icon indicates that the clock feature is ON. No icon means that it is OFF.
SET CLOCK / CALENDAR You only need to do this if you have disabled the clock feature (for example, if you are too far from or cannot receive a signal). 1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds.
