¥ 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.  
REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)  
This product is shipped with a THN122N Thermometer  
Sensor that collects Temperature data. Data can be  
collected from up to 3 sensors. Additional sensors sold  
separately.  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
SETUP SENSOR  
DATA TRANSMISSION  
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.  
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 40 seconds. The  
reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows  
the status.

At least 1 Channel has been  
found.  
3. Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery  
compartment.  
4. Place the sensor near the main unit. Press RESET  
on the sensor. Then, press and hold MEM and  
CHANNEL 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.)  
Channel 1 is selected

The selected sensor cannot  
be found. Search for the  
sensor or check batteries.  
5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.  
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the  
wall mount or table stand.  
Installing the batteries:  
SEARCH FOR SENSOR  
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and  
CHANNEL (on the main unit) for 2 seconds.  
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.  
For best results:  
¥ Insert the batteries and select the channel before  
you mount the sensor.  
¥ Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and  
moisture.  
¥ Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (98  
feet) from the main (indoor) unit.  
¥ Position the sensor so that it faces the main  
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as  
doors, walls, and furniture.
