SET CLOCK  
Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.  
Do not place the sensor more than 30 m (100 ft) from  
the main (indoor) unit.  
To manually set the clock make sure the clock signal  
reception is disabled.  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main (indoor)  
unit, minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls, and  
furniture.  
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.  
REMOTE SENSOR (THN122N)  
1. Press and hold MODE for 2 seconds.  
2. Select the US time zone (Pacific (P), Eastern (E), Central  
(C) and Mountain (M)), hour, minute, year, month/day

factors. You may need to experiment with various locations  
to get the best results.  
Press MODE to choose between the clock with seconds  
and clock with weekday display modes.  
1. SNOOZE  
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 -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. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due  
to low temperatures).  
GETTING STARTED  
To toggle alarms ON / OFF:  
1. Press ALARM to display alarm time.  
2. Press ALARM again to turn alarm ON / OFF.  
SETTING UP THE CLOCK  
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity (+
