User manual OREGON SCIENTIFIC RMR166

[. . . ] [ ] MAIN UNIT LOW BATTERY ICON Indicates the main unit battery power is low and batteries need replacing D. [ ] US ATOMIC CLOCK SIGNAL RECEPTION ICON Graphically displays the radio signal reception strength E. [CHANNEL] BUTTON Identifies and selects the remote sensor channels of 1 - 3 F. [ ] ALARM-ON ICON When displayed indicates that the daily alarm is activated G. [. . . ] This will synchronize the transmission and reception between the remote sensor and main unit. REMOTE & INDOOR TEMPERATURES The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the LCD screen. The temperature data received from the remote sensor is displayed on the top line of the LCD screen. The temperature displayed will be the data for that specific channel and remote sensor. A kinetic wave will be displayed below the channel number indicating the quality of signal reception from that particular 6 MAXIMUM & MINIMUM TEMPERATURES The maximum and minimum recorded indoor temperatures and those of each remote sensor are automatically stored in memory. To display the indoor recorded temperatures, press [MEMORY] once to display the maximum (MAX) temperature and once again for the minimum (MIN) temperature. To display temperature data from a remote sensor, select the channel of that remote sensor. Press [MEMORY] once to display the maximum (MAX) temperature and once again for the minimum (MIN) temperature. When the memory has been cleared, the maximum and minimum temperatures will be identical to the current temperature until new readings are recorded. NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries in the outdoor positioned sensor will freeze, lowering the battery voltage supply and the effective range. WIRELESS TRANSMISSION Signals from other household devices including door bells, home security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this product and cause temporary reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume once the interference ends. The success of wireless transmission of data may vary and is directly related to where the remote sensor is placed and the environmental factors of that location. The low battery warning icon is not displayed for the main unit or the remote sensor. The remote sensor has been placed within the stated effective range (21 - 32 yards) of the main unit. That there is no obstacle (like a transmission tower) or environmental reason (such as a steep hill) which is causing the interference or blockage between the remote sensor and the main unit. If the difficulty continues, reposition the remote sensor to a different location and/or closer to the main unit. INTERRUPTED SIGNALS If the display for a particular channel goes blank on the main unit, press [CHANNEL] and [MEMORY] at the same time for about 30-seconds to trigger a signal search between the remote sensor and the main unit. The low battery warning icon for both the remote sensor and main unit are not displayed. The remote sensor is within the effective transmission range (approximately 21 - 32 yards) to the main unit and that the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference. Shorten the distance between the remote sensor and the main unit if necessary. 7 NOTE ON °C AND °F Using the [Temperature Slide Switch], select °C for degrees in GB GB Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit for both the remote sensor and the main unit. If the remote sensor temperature selection differs from that on the main unit, the remote temperature display will default to the temperature display selection of the main unit. ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION The split-second, precise timeliness of RMR166 is achieved through its internal radio receiver that responds to a special 60kHz frequency radio signal generated by the US Atomic Clock. The RMR-166 synchronizes the time and date with the Atomic Clock's signal and also automatically adjusts for daylight savings time. The RMR-166 will automatically activate its antenna upon battery insertion and should receive the US Atomic Clock signal in about 3 - 7 minutes. [. . . ] If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: s Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
