GETTING STARTED  
Installing the batteries:  
BATTERIES  
Main unit  
Remote unit  
3 x UM-3 (AA) 1.5V batteries  
2 x UM-4 (AAA) 1.5V batteries  
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity  
(+ and -) 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.  
NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.

AC ADAPTOR  
ADJUST SETTINGS  
The main unit is supplied with a 4.5V AC / DC adaptor,  
which provides continuous clock / temperature projection.  
To adjust the time, calendar and language settings:  
1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds to enter setting  
mode.  
Inserting the adaptor:  
2. Press  
or  
to c hange settings. (To reach the  
setting you want quickly, press and hold or

Installing the batteries:  
REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)  
This product is shipped with a THN122N Thermometer  
Sensor that collects Temperature data. The main unit  
can be connected to only 1 remote sensor.  
SET UP 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.  
3. Set the channel switch to any channel. The switch is  
located in the battery compartment.  
Using the wall mount or stand:  
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET  
on the sensor. Then, press and hold SEARCH 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.)  
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.

For best results:  
remain operational to -20°F with adequate power.  
Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors  
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may  
temporarily reduce the effective range between the  
sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance  
fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper  
functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal  
temperature range (i.e. no permanent damage will occur  
to the unit due to low temperatures).  
Insert the batteries and before you mount the  
sensor.  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and  
moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 98 feet (30  
meters) from the main (indoor) unit.  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main  
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as  
doors, walls, and furniture.  
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.  
DATA TRANSMISSION  
Data is sent from the sensor every 40 seconds. The  
reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows  
the status.

DESCRIPTION  
Main unit is searching  
for the sensor  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
A Channel has been  
found  
Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts  
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low  
temperatures of approximately 10°F. Disposable Lithium  
batteries have a much lower threshold for temperature  
with an estimated freezing range of below -40°F. The  
Liquid Crystal Display in outdoor thermometers will  
--- show in Outdoor  
Temp Area  
The sensor cannot be  
found. Search for the  
sensor or check batteries

SEARCH FOR SENSOR  
Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The  
icon is shown in the Clock Area.  
To search for the sensor, press and hold SEARCH (on  
the main unit) for 2 seconds.  
STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL  
NO SIGNAL  
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,  
obstructions, and remote unit location.  
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.  
To force a manual search for atomic clock signals, press  
and hold  
for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check  
the batteries.  
TURN ATOMIC CLOCK SIGNAL ON / OFF  
Perform this step if you cannot receive atomic clock  
signals. Press and hold  
set the clock following the “Set Clock” instructions.

CLOCK  
The clock automatically synchronizes the current time  
and date when it is brought within range of the WWVB-  
60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort Collins,  
boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/radioclocks.htm  
The signal icon indicates that the clock feature is  
ON. No icon means that it is OFF.  
NOTE The signals are collected by the main unit when  
it is within 932 miles (1500 km) of a signal.  
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when  
you first set up the unit, and whenever you press RESET.
