Warnings  
•Do not immerse the unit in water.  
•Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive material.  
•Do not subject the unit to excessive force, shock, dust, temper-  
ature or humidity.  
•Do not tamper with the unit’s internal components. Doing so  
will invalidate the warranty on the unit and may cause unnec-  
essary damage.  
•Only use fresh batteries as specified in the instructions. Do not  
mix new and old batteries as the old ones may leak.  
•Always read the instructions thoroughly before operating the unit.  
 
Quick Start  
Battery Installation  
Remote Units:  
•Unscrew battery compartment cover for remote units first.  
•Designate a channel number (1, 2, 3) for each remote on the  
Channel Slide Switch; choose ˚F or ˚C temperature display  
unit on the ˚F/˚C Switch.  
•Insert two AAA (UM-4) batteries (included) into each battery  
compartment as specified. Ensure proper polarities are main-  
tained; replace cover.  
Main Unit:  
1. Slide open battery compartment door.  
2. Insert two AA (UM-3) batteries (included). Ensure proper  
polarities are maintained; replace door.  
Checking Temperatures:  
1. Using either the table stand or wall mount feature, set the  
main and remote units within an effective range of 110  
yards. Although the remote units are weatherproof, they  
should be located away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
2. Once batteries are installed, the main unit will start receiving  
 
Quick Start  
temperature samplings at roughly 30-second intervals from  
the three remote units. If no signal is received, blanks will be  
displayed. Press the main unit’s CHANNEL and MEMORY  
simultaneously to enforce another search, or to synchronize  
the transmission and reception of the remote and main units  
if you find discrepancies in the temperatures shown.  
3. To view one remote unit’s temperature display, press CHAN-  
NEL to change from one to the next.  
4. To scan all three remote units with one touch, press and hold  
CHANNEL for about 2 seconds and view all three tempera-  
tures for 5 seconds each. Press CHANNEL again to stop the  
scanning function.  
5. To display the maximum and minimum temperatures stored  
in each remote unit’s memory, press CHANNEL for the  
desired channel, then press MEMORY to rotate through the  
maximum, minimum and current temperatures.  
6. To clear the memory of a particular channel, press CHANNEL  
to locate the desired channel, then press CLEAR to erase the  
stored maximum and minimum temperatures. (Now, if you  
press MEMORY, these settings will have the same value as the  
current temperature until different readings are recorded.)

Battery and Channel Installation: Remote Unit  
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.  
2. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.  
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °F/°C slide switch.  
4. Insert two UM-4 or AAA-size batteries.  
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure the  
screws.  
Replace the batteries when the low-battery indicator of the par-  
ticular channel lights up on the main unit.  
 
Battery and Channel Installation: Remote Unit  
Note: Once a channel is assigned to a unit, you can change it only  
by removing the batteries and repeating the above procedure.  
Battery Installation: Main Unit  
1. Slide the battery compartment door open.  
2. Insert two UM-3 or AA-size batteries.  
3. Replace the battery compartment door.

of the indoor tem-  
Getting Started  
Once batteries are in place for the remote units, they will start  
transmitting samplings at roughly 30-second intervals.  
The main unit will also start receiving once batteries are  
installed. The temperature of the selected channel will be dis-  
played on the top line and the indoor temperature on the bot-  
tom line. The main unit will automatically update its readings  
at 30-second intervals. The temperature variance for the last  
12 hours is automatically scanned on the trend chart.  
 
Getting Started  
If no signals are received, blanks are displayed. Press CHANNEL  
and MEMORY simultaneously to enforce another search. This is  
useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the  
remote and main units.  
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the  
reading shown on the main unit and the reading shown on the  
respective remote unit.  
Note: The remote temperature display on the main unit is deter-  
mined by the selection made (°F or °C) on the main unit’s slide  
switch. The remote sensors will automatically convert to the  
selection made on the main unit.  
 
Checking Remote and Indoor Temperatures  
The indoor temperature is shown on the bottom line of the dis-  
play. Temperature readings, received from a remote sensor, are  
displayed on the top line of the unit.  
Press CHANNEL to change from one channel to the next.  
If more than one remote sensor is being used, the unit can auto-  
matically scan all three of the outdoor channels.  
To use the automatic outdoor channel scanner function, press  
and hold CHANNEL for about two seconds. The unit begins a  
cycle of continuously rotating through the three channels.  
Temperature readings from each site are displayed for approxi-  
mately five seconds.  
To stop the automatic scanning function, press CHANNEL again.  
The scanning cycles will stop.  
 
Checking Remote and Indoor Temperatures  
The kinetic wave display on the channel icon indicates the status  
of reception.  
The unit is in searching mode  
Temperature readings are  
securely registered  
No signals  
If no readings are received from one particular channel for more  
than two minutes, blanks are displayed until further readings are  
successfully searched. To enforce an immediate search, press  
CHANNEL and MEMORY simultaneously. Of course, no reading  
will be shown if no remote unit is assigned to that channel.  
The Cable FreeIndoor/Outdoor Thermometer is capable of  
measuring temperatures within the -58°F (-50°C) and +158°F  
(+70°C) range. If the temperature goes above or below these  
temperatures, the display will show “HHH” or “LLL.”  
 
Maximum and Minimum Temperatures  
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor temperatures and  
those of each channel are automatically stored in memory. To  
display them:  
1. Press CHANNEL to locate the desired channel.  
2. Press MEMORY to rotate through the maximum (MAX), mini-  
mum (MIN) and current temperatures. Indoor temperature  
readings are displayed.  
To clear the memory of a particular channel, press CHANNEL to  
locate the desired channel. Press CLEAR. The MAX and MIN  
memory for that channel will be erased. Note: It will also erase  
the memory for the indoor temperatures.  
Disconnected Signals  
If, for no obvious reason, a particular channel display goes blank,  
press CHANNEL and MEMORY to enforce an immediate search.  
If that fails, ensure the remote unit for that channel remains in  
place, ensure the transmission is within range and the path is  
clear of obstacles and interference.  
 
How to Read the Temperature Chart  
The temperature variance for CHANNEL 1 for the past 12 hours  
is automatically scanned on the screen in six equal columns. The  
variance is represented in rows of degrees C above or below the  
current temperature at 0 Hr (current time) and 0°C (no variance).  
Ice Warning  
The ice warning is selected on the ICE WARNING slide switch  
located on the main unit and applies only to CHANNEL 1.  
To activate the warning, slide the switch to ON. When the tem-  
perature recorded at CHANNEL 1 falls to between 28.4°F (-2°C)  
to 37.4°F (+3°C) a beeping alarm sounds and the ice warning  
icon  
and current outdoor temperature flash. The alarm  
sounds every minute as long as the recorded temperature is  
within alarm range. To stop the alarm, press any key or change  
the channel. Display features continue to flash as a reminder that  
the temperature remains within the ice warning range.  
 
Ice Warning  
To deactivate the ice warning function, slide the ICE WARNING  
switch to OFF.  
Table Stand and Wall Mount  
To place the main unit on a flat surface, flip open the table  
stand. Mount the unit on a wall using the recessed hole.  
 
Table Stand and Wall Mount  
The remote unit comes with a removable table stand and a wall-  
mount holder.  
Reset Button  
The RESET button is used to enhance synchronization of signals  
after battery replacement or when the unit malfunctions. Use a  
blunt stylus to hold the RESET button down. All settings will  
return to their default values.
