OVERVIEW OF FEATURES
SETUP
Battery Choice & Temperature RangeExtended periods of cold temperatures I below -4°F / -20°C I can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low-temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.BATTERY SAFETY: Follow the polarity(+/·) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak. O NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable DO NOT batteries. recharge non-rechargeable DO NOT batteries. short-circuit the supply terminals.
A/B/C Wireless Identity Selection
To allow for more than one main unit and wireless sensor network to be used in close proximity, the main unit and the wireless sensor have a small switch labeled “A B C” within the battery compartments. This switch selects one of 3 wireless identities to use, and both switches MUST be set in matching positions (either A, B, or C) for wireless communication to take place successfully.

Always place both units at least 3 feet l.91 ml away from appliances ITV, microwave, radios, etc. I or objects I large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. I that may interfere with wireless communication.
Placement of Main UnitPlace the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure n accurate indoor temperature and humidity measurement, be sure to place the main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat ources or vents in your home. There are 2 placement options for the main unit. It can be hung on a wall using the integrated hang hole orplaced on a tabletop or other flat surface using the detachable stand.
Placement of SensorThe wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor temperature and humidity. The wireless sensor must be placed less than 330 feet [100 ml from the main unit.The wireless sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.There are 2 placement options for the wireless sensor. You may hang it on a wall using one of the two integrated hang holes, or use string [not included] to hang it from a suitable location like a well-covered tree branch.
OPERATION
After the main unit and the wireless sensor are both powered on and wirelessly synchronized, no further input is required.
