BATTERIES
The table stand is in the back of the product. See below
for how to assemble the table stand.
Batteries are not supplied with this product. You will
need to purchase 4 X UM-3 (AA) 1.5V alkaline batteries
for the main unit, and 2 X UM-4 (AAA) 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.

REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)
This product is shipped with two THN122N Thermometer
Sensors that collect temperature 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.
For best results:

OPTION
•
Insert the batteries and select the channel before
you mount the sensor.
Channel
Channel 1-3. If you are using more than
one sensor, select a different channel
for each sensor.
•
•
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
Do not place the sensor more than 230 feet (70
meters) from the main (indoor) unit.
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery
compartment.
•
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,
and furniture.
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 “Data Transmission” section for more information.)
•
•
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.
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.

DESCRIPTION
Main unit is searching for
sensors.
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.
At least 1 Channel has been
found.
Channel 1 is selected
(number will change
depending on the sensor
you select).
CLOCK
The main unit automatically synchronizes the current time
and date on the clock when it is brought within range of
the WWVB-60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort
Collins, Colorado. For more information, please visit:
www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.stations/radioclocks.htm.
The signals are collected by the main unit when it is within
932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.
--- shows in Outdoor
Temp Area
The selected sensor cannot
be found. Search for the
sensor or check batteries.
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.
