Important Placement Guidelines
- Monitor must be within 330 feet (100 meters) of a companion unit (optional; sold separately).
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place both units at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES

OPERATION
Using the Room Monitor
The Room Monitor features built-in temperature and humidity sensors, to view current conditions in the location where the Monitor is placed.
Expand the System
The Room Monitor can be expanded to track additional conditions using compatible wired sensors (optional; sold separately) that simply plug into the Monitor. Wired sensors feature an extra-long cord, perfect for installing the sensors in hard-to-reach places.
When using a wired sensor with the Monitor, the Monitor’s temperature and humidity readings move to the top of the display. The display will automatically toggle between the Monitor’s temperature and humidity data, while the wired sensor’s readings appear in the middle of the display (pictured below).
