Insert the batteries before first use, matching the polarity
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.
This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo/
Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity
data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors.
Additional sensors sold separately.
NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries.
SETUP SENSOR
Open the remote sensor battery compartment with a

OPTION
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
Channel 1 - 3. If you are using
more than one sensor, select a
different channel for each sensor.
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.
3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET
on the sensor 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
Search for Sensor section for more information.)
Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance
and signal transmission.
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
5. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the
wall mount or table stand.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds.
The reception icon shown in the Temperature and
Humidity Areas show the status.

DESCRIPTION
CLOCK
Main unit is searching for
sensors.
This product can track the date and time for up to
2 locations (Clock with Offset Hour). The US Atomic
Clock in Boulder, Colorado automatically updates this
information unless you disable the feature. The signals
are collected by the main unit when it is within 1500 km
(932 miles) of a signal.
At least 1 channel has
been found.
Channel 1 is selected
(number will change
depending on the sensor
you select)
Initial reception takes 2 - 10 minutes, and is initiated
when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press
RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop
blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
--- shows in Temp
/ Humidity Areas
The selected sensor cannot
be found. Search for the
sensor or check batteries.
SEARCH FOR SENSOR
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the
batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.
To force a manual search forAtomic Clock signals, press
and hold UP for 2 seconds. If no signal is found, check
the batteries.
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.
NOTE
If the Atomic Clock signal is received and the
hour is incorrect, use the "hour offset" feature to adjust
it to to the right value. Please see "SET CLOCK" on
pg. 9 for instructions.
