temperature with an estimated freezing range of below  
-30°C (-22°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).

slide on the cover.  
indicates sensor batteries are low.  
For best results:  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and  
moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 100 meters (328  
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.  
CLOCK  
CLOCK RECEPTION  
This product is designed to synchronize its calendar  
clock automatically once it is brought within range of  
a radio signal:  
BAR383HG:  
DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for  
Central Europe  
MSF-60 generated from Rugby, England.  
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.  
The radio signal range is 1500km (932 miles)  
BAR383HGA:  
WWVB-60 generated from the atomic clock in Fort  
Collins, Colorado.  
The radio signal range is 3219km (2000 miles)  
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  
The clock reception icon on the sensor indicates signal  
strength.
