REMOTE SENSOR (THGR122NX)  
This product is shipped with a THGR122NX Thermo/  
Hygro Sensor that collects Temperature and Humidity  
data. Data can be collected from up to 3 sensors.  
Additional sensors sold separately.  
Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity as  
shown in the battery compartment. For best results,  
install batteries in the remote sensor before the main  
unit. Press RESET after each battery change.

DESCRIPTION  
Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters  
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.  
Main unit is searching for  
sensors.  
Position the sensor so that it faces the main  
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as  
doors, walls, and furniture.  
At least 1 channel has  
been found.  
Channel 1 is selected (the  
number will change  
depending on the sensor  
you select).  
Place the sensor in a location with a clear view  
to the sky, away from metallic or electronic  
objects.  
--- shows in Temp/  
Humidity Areas  
The selected sensor cannot  
be found. Search for the  
sensor or check batteries.  
Position the sensor close to the main unit  
during cold winter months as below-freezing  
temperatures may affect battery performance  
and signal transmission.  
SEARCH FOR SENSOR  
You may need to experiment with various locations to  
get the best results.  
To search for a sensor, press and hold MEM and  
CHANNEL for 2 seconds.  
NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the  
batteries, obstructions, and remote unit location.  
NOTE Signals from household devices such as  
doorbells, electronic garage doors, and home security  
systems may cause temporary reception failure. This is  
normal and does not affect general product performance.  
The reception will resume once the interference ends.
