Notes on cleaning
Separate the device from the power supply or remove the batteries before cleaning. Only use a dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use any cleaning fluid to avoid damaging the electronics.
Components
- One base station unit (Receiver).
- One remote sensor (Transmitter).
Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain- proof, the remote sensor must be always placed upwards so that rain won’t get inside the sensor through the vent holes on the bottom of the senor which functions to let the remote sensor detect the environmental temperature and humidity more precisely and quickly.

Battery Installation and Setup
- Open the battery compartment of the remote sensor as below Figure;
- Slide the channel selector switch inside the battery compartment to your desired channel. For the first remote you may select any channel, for additional remotes select any unused channel;
- Insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Replace the battery compartment cover;
- Open the battery compartment at the back of the base station and insert (2) AAA batteries according to the polarity markings. Replace the compartment door;
- Press the °F /°C button at the back of the base station to display the temperature in °F or °C.
Note:
- Do not mix old and new batteries.
- Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
- For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using good quality alkaline batteries.
- If the battery power is low, there will be low battery icon showing on the base station display.
Synchronize Remote Sensors with The Base Station
Please note: each time the batteries (inserted into either base station or remote sensor) are replaced or base station/remote sensor lost connection, make sure to follow the below synchronization process to pair and re-connect the base station and remote sensor:
- Position the remote sensor near the base station;
- Once the batteries are installed in the base station, the RF signal icon. (located on the upper left of the base station display) will flash for 3 minutes, indicating that the base station is in synchronization mode: it is waiting for remote sensors to be registered.
- If 3 minutes have passed after the batteries were installed in the base station and the RF signal Icon is no longer flashing, press and hold the CHANNEL/ SYNC button on the back of the base station for 3-4 seconds until the RF signal icon is flashing again to set it back in synchronization mode;
- Install the batteries in the remote sensor and wait for a moment or just press either the TX or RESET button inside the remote sensor battery compartment, the remote sensor temperature/humidity will show on the base station display which indicates the synchronization is complete.
- If you have additional remote sensors, repeat the above steps to register the remote sensors (up to 3 remote sensors can be registered with one base station);
- If you have registered more than one sensor, press the CHANNEL/SYNC button on the base station to select the remote channel you want displayed permanently on the base station. Press CHANNEL/ SYNC button until you observe a circular arrow on the base station LCD display under the channel number. The unit will then auto-scroll, changing from channel to channel every 5 seconds.
NOTE: If you have additional remote sensors, when you are synchronizing remote sensors with the base station, the unit will keep changing from channel to channel in the first three minutes, after that you can select any channel you like or auto-scroll mode.
Place the Base Station and Remote Sensor
- The indoor base station (receiver) should always be placed in a well ventilated indoor area and located away from vents, heating or cooling elements, direct sunlight, windows, doors, or any other openings.
- The remote sensor (transmitter) can be placed on a flat surface indoor or outdoor. Make sure the sensor is within the transmission distance from the base station and with minimal obstructions.
- The base station and remote sensor can both be wall mounted.
NOTE: Although the remote sensor is designed to be rain-proof, the remote sensor must be always placed upwards so that rain won’t get inside the sensor through the vent holes on the bottom of the senor which functions to let the remote sensor detect the environmental temperature and humidity more precisely and quickly.
Maximum & Minimum Recorded Temperature & Humidity
- Press MAX/MIN/Clear button once to display the highest indoor and outdoor temperatures/humidity recorded since last reset. MAX is shown on the display.
- Press MAX/MIN/Clear button again to display the lowest indoor and outdoor temperatures/humidity recorded since the last reset. MIN is shown on the display.
- To clear and reset the max/min records, when either the MAX or MIN record is shown on the LCD display, press and hold MAX/MIN/Clear for 3 seconds.
- When either the MAX or MIN record is shown on the LCD display, press ALL-TIME/24 button once to set the data record time interval between ALL TIME or 24 hours. Note: Both ALL TIME and 24 hours represent the time since you last time manually cleared the history data or battery installation.
Question: Does this show the outside humidity as well as inside?
Answer: Yes, and seems consistent with what is being reported locally (through other services) .
Question: Will this transmit through a steel gun safe?
Answer: Absolutely not, even with holes in the metal. That’s why they shield from radio waves with copper screen. From professional electrical engineer, retired.
Question: How do you attach the outdoor sensor?
Answer: It has a nail hook built-in for hanging. You could also use adhesive materials to stick it to a surface.
Question: Does the inside unit have a lighted display?
Answer: no it does not .
