itor the temperature indoors and out! You can hang the main Unit indoors on a wall or use its built-in stand for easy view-
ing on a table or desktop. You can place the supplied remote sensor outdoors or in another room to Monitor the tempera-
ture at that location. In addition to the supplied remote sensor, you Can use up to two other remote senscirs (RadioShack Cat. No. 63-1027, not supplied) with the system's three built-in remote chan-
nels. Altogether you car monitor the temperature at four dif-
ferent locations! . a The system's features ir clude:

PCC ID: AA06301026R S INSTALLING BATTERIES You need four AA tatteries (not supplied) to power your thermometer system = two each for the main unit and re-
mote sensor. For the. longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries (available at your local RadioShack store), Notes:
below ~4 F (-20 C), we recommend you use lithium batteries (such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-664) in the remote sensor,
* Install batteries in the remote sensor first, then in the main unit, to give the main unit time to find the remote sensor's signal. Cautions:
* Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recom-
mended type.
* Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of bat-
teries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or recharge-
able batteries of different capacities.

When the dot appears alone, the main unit is not receiving a signal. When the arcs appear one after another, the main unit is searching for or receiving a signal from the selected channel's remote sensor. Checking the Maximum/Minimum Temperatures The main unit stores the maximum (highest) and minimum
(lowest) local temperatures and those of each remote sensor in its memory. Follow these Steps to recall the maximum and minimum tem-
peratures stored since the last memory reset. 1. Repeatedly press CHANNEL on the main unit to select the desired channel. 2. Press MEM once. to recall the maximum temperature
(MAX) and again to recall the minimum (MIN) tempera-
ture. 16 FCC ID: AAQ6301026R~ . FCC ID: AA06301026R FCC ID: AA06301026R M 63-1026.fm 18 Tue Sep ng 1998

To turn on the alarm for the selected limit (HI or LO), press ON/OFF TEMP AL so HI or LO appears. Or, press it So OFF appears to turn off that limits alarm. 5. Repeat Steps 2-4 (if desired) to set the other limit and turn its alarm on or off, then press HI/LO to return to the current temperature display. TROUBLESHOOTING Manually Searching for a Signal If the main unit displays --.- instead of a temperature or it continuously displays a temperature different than that dis-
played on the selected channel's remote sensor, this. means the main unit has stopped receiving a signal from the sensor. Press CHANNEL and MEM at he same time on the main unit to have it manually search for a signal. ibe If the main unit still does not operate properly, try placing it or the remote sensor in a differeit location or resetting the sys-
tem (see Troubleshooting on Page 18). ~
