[. . . ] · 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. You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. 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 -30°C (-22°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. 5 BAR688HGA_EN_REV3 5 2006. 3. 13, 6:35 PM EN EN SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION The sensor reception icon in the remote sensor area shows the status. ICON DESCRIPTION Main unit is searching for the sensor(s) A channel has been found and sensor signal is being received The sensor cannot be found. Search for the sensor or check batteries The clock collects the radio signals whenever it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal. NOTE Slide the EU / UK switch to appropriate position for your location. NOTE Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes for first set up or when RESET is pressed. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal. RECEPTION SIGNAL Clock signal reception indicator: STRONG SIGNAL WEAK SIGNAL NO SIGNAL and "- - . -" (Outdoor temperature Area) To search for a sensor: Simultaneously, press and hold MEM and CHANNEL for 2 seconds.
