Thermometer/Hygrometer

INSTALLING/REPLACING THE BATTERY

Your thermometer/hygrometer requires two AA batteries (not supplied)
for operation.  For the longest life and best performance, we
recommend alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 23-557.
Follow these steps to install or replace the batteries.

1.  Lift and pull up the top center edge of the battery compartment
    cover, then remove the cover.

2.  Remove and discard any old batteries.

3.  Place two fresh AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment.

As soon as you install the batteries, ---f188 appears on the upper
display, and ---F appears on the lower display.  After a few seconds,
the temperature that the thermometer/hygrometer senses through the
attached outdoor sensor appears on the lower display.  Then the indoor
temperature appears on the upper display.

After about 10 seconds, the indoor relative humidity appears on the upper
display.

4.  Select the temperature scale by setting degree C/degree F in the
    battery compartment to degrees C for Celsius, or degrees F for
    Fahrenheit.

Note:  You can change the temperature scale at any time.

5.  Replace the cover.

Notes:  Fresh alkaline batteries last for about 1 year.  If the displays
        appear weak or if the thermometer/hygrometer does not work
        properly, replace the batteries.

        Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.

        Do not mix old and new batteries.

Cautions:  Never leave dead or weak batteries in the thermometer/
           hygrometer.

           Dispose of batteries properly; do not bury or burn them.

CHOOSING MOUNTING LOCATIONS

Choose locations for mounting the thermometer/hygrometer and the attached
outdoor sensor that are within 10 feet of each other and that will let you
easily route the outdoor sensor outside.

For the best results, mount the thermometer/hygrometer and outdoor sensor
on drywall or wood surfaces.  Avoid mounting either on ceramic tile or
metal surfaces.

The most common way to route the outdoor sensor outside is through a
corner or depression in a window sill or door edge.  You can also use
a pass-through tube (Such as Cat. No. 15-1200) to route the outdoor sensor
through a wall.

Cautions:  The outdoor sensor is permanently attached to the thermometer/
           hygrometer.  Do not try to remove it.

           Avoid routing the outdoor sensor's cord where it could be
           pinched or cut.

Note:  Keep the thermometer/hygrometer and outdoor sensor away from
       artificial sources of heat or cold such as stoves, heating and
       air conditioning vents, radiators, and direct sunlight.

MOUNTING THE THERMOMETER/HYGROMETER

You need one flathead or Phillips wood screw (not supplied) to mount
the thermometer/hygrometer on a wall.  Make sure the screw head fits in
the keyhole slot on the back of the thermometer/hygrometer.

1.  Mark the position of the screw hole.

2.  In the marked location, drill a hole slightly smaller than the wood
    screw.

Caution:  Be careful not to drill into my objects behind the wall.

3.  Using a flathead or Phillips screwdriver, drive the screw into the
    wall, letting the head extend 1/8-inch from the wall.

4.  Align the keyhole slot on the back of the thermometer/hygrometer
    with the screw head in the wall, then carefully push the thermometer/
    hygrometer onto the screw head and slide it down into place.

MOUNTING THE OUTDOOR SENSOR

You need one nail, wood screw, or masonry screw (not supplied) to mount
the outdoor sensor. Make sure the nail or screw head is larger than the
small loop on the wire bracket attached to the outdoor sensor.

1.  Mark the position of the screw hole.

2.  In the marked location, drill a hole slightly smaller than the nail
    or screw.

Caution:  Be careful not to drill into any objects behind the wall.

3.  Slide the wire bracket off the outdoor sensor.

4.  Push the nail or screw's tip through the small loop on the wire
    bracket, then drive the nail or screw into the wall.

5.  Slide the outdoor sensor onto the wire bracket.
