SETUP SENSOR
•
•
Insert the batteries before you mount the sensor.
1. Open the remote sensor battery compartment with
a small Phillips screwdriver.
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
2. Insert the batteries, matching the polarity as shown
in the battery compartment.
•
•
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
3. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET,
then 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 Sensor Data Transmission
section for more information.)
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.
4. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
Position the sensor close to the main unit
during cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance and
signal transmission.
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.
