TS13C-M SENSOR IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL MEADE INSTRUMENTS WIRELESS WEATHER STATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN · The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors. · We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote sensor when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We recommend using AA lithium batteries when temperatures are below 32°F (0°C). · Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries cannot maintain correct power requirements). · Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the battery compartment. · ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the main unit. · Press RESET after each battery change with a paper clip or similar tool. · During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as possible to the remote sensor. · After reception is established (the remote temperature will appear on the main unit's display), position the remote sensor and the main unit within the effective transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters). NOTE: 1. Avoid setting manually the time and date on the main unit before the remote temperature is displayed. 2. The effective operating range may be influenced by the surrounding building materials and how the receiver (main unit) and transmitter (remote sensor) are positioned. 3. Place the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit (receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture. 4. Though the remote sensors are weather-resistant, they should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow. NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the batteries in the outdoor remote sensors may have reduced voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperature 32°F (0°C) and below.

BATTERY INSTALLATION NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in °C or °F before mounting the remote sensor. · Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. · Set the channel (if channel switch is available in your model). The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote sensor is being used. · Install 2 "AA" size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment. · Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws. · Secure remote sensor in the desired location. LOW BATTERY WARNING A low-battery indicator [ ] will appear on the remote temperature reading line of the main unit, warning that the remote sensor batteries need replacement. PLACEMENT OF THE REMOTE SENSOR The remote sensor can be mounted on the wall using the recessed screw hole or placed on a flat surface indoors or outdoors. GETTING STARTED After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit temperature readings at 45 second intervals. The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature will appear on the main unit's display. The main unit will automatically update readings at 45-second intervals. LOST COMMUNICATION If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading goes blank, refer to the main unit's User Manual to find out the way to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn't received, please make sure that: · The remote sensor is in its proper location. · The distance between main unit and remote sensor is not over 100 feet (30meters). · The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the distance if necessary. · Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor and main unit.

If there is no reception, please perform the following steps: · Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together. · Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open the battery compartment. · Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal. · Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them in the same manner. · The remote temperature appeared on the main unit's display will show that transmission is being received successfully. TRANSMISSION COLLISION Signals from the other household devices such as wireless doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may interfere with this product or cause temporary reception interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of the temperature readings will resume once the interference subsides. PRECAUTIONS This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service if handled carefully. Here are a few precautions: · Do not immerse the unit in water. · Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials. They may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the electronic circuits. · Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust, temperature, or humidity, which may result in malfunctions, shorter lifespan, damaged batteries, and damaged parts. · Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing so will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage. This unit contains no user-serviceable parts. · Use only fresh batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries. · Read the user's manual thoroughly before operating the unit.
