The transmission range may vary depending on many
factors. You may need to experiment with various locations
to get the best results.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of
water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures
of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries
have a much lower threshold for temperature with an
estimated freezing range of below -40°C (-40°F).

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).

The sensor collects temperature readings approx. every
40 seconds and sends them to the main unit. The main
unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries,

This product is designed to synchronize its date and time
automatically once it is within range of the WWVB-60
signal from the atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
18. Time, alarm and date
The sensor collects the radio signals whenever it is within
1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or
when RESET is pressed. Once complete, the reception icon
will stop blinking. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24
hours to get a valid signal.
