You will need to purchase 2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the main unit, and 2 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries for the remote sensor. Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity 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. UNIT Main Remote LOCATION Indoor Temperature Area Outdoor Temperature Area. CHANGE SETTINGS 1. 2. 3. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting mode. Press UP or DOWN to change settings. Press MODE to confirm. TABLE STAND OR WALL MOUNT Use the stand on the back of the product, or mount it on a wall with a nail. REMOTE SENSOR This product is shipped with a remote sensor that collects temperature readings. Only one sensor can be used with this product. 6 RMR602A lab test R2 6 1/17/04, 4:49 PM SETUP SENSOR 1. 2. 3. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown in the battery compartment. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET, then SEARCH, 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.) Close the remote sensor battery compartment. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the wall mount or table stand. For best results: · Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor. · Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture. · Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters (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. 4. 5. 7 RMR602A lab test R2 7 1/17/04, 4:49 PM EN EN DATA TRANSMISSION Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 78 seconds.
