GETTING STARTED  
REMOTE UNIT SET UP  
BATTERIES  
Up to 5 remote units can be used with this product to  
monitor outdoor temperature and humidity. The remote  
unit included in this package is used to receive radio  
frequency signals for the radio-controlled clock, and to  
measure temperature and humidity. The measurement  
unit (°C or °F) and channel number (1, 2, 3, 4, or 5)  
switches are located in the battery compartment of the  
remote unit, and should be set prior to installation.  
Batteries for the remote and main units are supplied  
with this product. Press the RESET button whenever  
you change batteries.  
Insert the batteries in the remote unit before  
NOTE  
you set up the main unit. Do not use rechargeable  
batteries.  
AC ADAPTOR (main unit)  
Additional remote units that measure  
NOTE  
When the main unit is plugged into the power socket  
or batteries are inserted for the first time, an opening  
animation will be shown before the MAIN menu  
screen.  
temperature and humidity are sold separately. If you  
are using more than one remote unit, be sure to select  
a different channel number for each unit.  
The following remote units are compatible with this  
product:  
Connect the AC adaptor to your  
weather station’s AC socket located  
on the side of the main unit.  
THGR228N  
THGR238N  
THR228N  
Batteries are for memory backup purposes  
NOTE  
only; the AC adaptor should power the main unit.

INSTALLATION  
Mount the remote unit on a flat surface using the  
recess holes on the back of the unit.  
When the remote unit receives the radio-controlled  
clock signal and is paired up with the main unit, the  
clock in the main unit will automatically be updated.  
For best results:  
RADIO SIGNAL  
Insert the batteries and select the measurement  
unit and channel number first.  
Place the unit out of direct sunlight and  
moisture.  
Do not place the remote unit more than  
30 meters (98 feet) from the main (indoor)  
unit.  
Position the unit so that it faces the main  
(indoor) unit. Minimize obstructions such as  
doors, walls, and furniture.  
REMOTE SENSOR SEARCHING  
The RADIO SIGNAL FORMAT switch is located  
inside the battery compartment. Select EU (DCF)  
or UK (MSF). Press RESET.  
Reception takes 2 - 10 minutes to complete. Once  
complete, the icon will stop blinking.  
No signal  
Strong signal  
Weak signal  
To maximize radio frequency reception for the  
radio-controlled clock, place the remote unit in a  
location with a clear view to the sky.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best reception.  
Press SEARCH to manually activate search for radio-  
controlled clock signal. The tower icon will blink until the  
clock signal is found or the search period times out.  
CLOCK  
This remote unit can automatically synchronize the  
date and time with official time-keeping organizations  
in Frankfurt (Germany) and Rugby (England). When  
the unit is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a RF signal,  
the reception icon will blink during reception.  
NOTE The remote unit collects RF signals. For best  
results, place it away from metallic or electrical  
objects, and in a location with a clear view to the sky.
