The transmission range may vary depending on many factors. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -40°C (-40°F). Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures). INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Oregon Scientific Wireless Indoor / Outdoor Thermometer with Self-Setting Atomic Clock (RMR682A). The main unit can support up to 3 sensors. To purchase additional sensors, please contact your local retailer. NOTE Please keep this manual handy as you use your new product. It contains practical step-by-step instructions, as well as technical specifications and warnings you should know about. TM 1. LED status indicator: Blinks red during data transmission 2.

The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors. To set up the sensor: 1. Remove the screws from the battery door. 2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity (+ / -). To search for a sensor: Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds. NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location. CLOCK CLOCK RECEPTION This product is designed to synchronize its date and time automatically once it is within range of the WWVB-60 signal from the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. The sensor collects the radio signals whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal. RECEPTION SIGNAL BACK VIEW 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Select a channel. Make sure you use a different channel for each sensor. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET on the sensor. Simultaneously press CHANNEL and MEM on the main unit to initiate signal sending between the sensor and main unit. Close the battery door and secure the screws. Place the sensor in the desired location using the table stand or wall mount. STRONG WEAK NO SIGNAL To enable and force a signal search: Press and hold for 2 seconds.
