INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the RMR232PHN/  
RMR232PHU, an In-OutThermometer with Radio-Controlled Clock  
and a Photo Frame attached.

The basic package comes with the following:  
-- Main unit (RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU).  
-- Remote thermo sensor unit  
H
I
-- Blue and metallic grey exchangeable front key panels.  
The main unit shows the indoor temperature, calendar clock and  
temperatures collected and transmitted by the remote unit.  
P
J
The main unit is also capable of keeping track of the maximum and  
minimum temperature measured. No wire installation is required  
and the RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU operates at 433MHz.  
As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically  
synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within an  
approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from  
Frankfurt, Germany (DCF77). (MSF 60 for UK Version)  
You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.  
Other features include five-language display and two-minute  
crescendo daily alarm.

BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT  
1. Slide open the battery compartment door.  
BATTERY COMPARTMENT  
Accommodates two UM-3 or AA-size 1.5V batteries  
2. Install 2 alkaline batteries (UM3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly  
according to the polarities shown.

BATTERY DOOR  
WALL-MOUNT RECESSED HOLE  
Supports the remote until in wall-mounting  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
For best operation,  
1. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main  
unit.  
2. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit,  
reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure  
easier synchronization between the transmission and reception  
of signals.  
3. Press the [RESET] button.  
3. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective  
transmission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30  
meters.  
4. Replace the battery compartment door.  
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building  
materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try  
various set-ups for best result.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION: REMOTE UNIT  
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed  
away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
1. Remove the screws on the battery compartment.

2. Lift and open the photo frame cover.  
2. Install 2 alkaline batteries (MU-3 or “AA” size 1.5 V) strictly  
according to the polarities shown.  
3. Align and place the photo on the velvet surface.  
3. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.  
LOW BATTERY WARNING  
When it is time to replace batteries, the respective low-battery  
indicator will show up on the indoor or outdoor temperature display.  
HOW TO INSERT A PHOTO  
4. Close the photo frame cover and replace it back to the main  
unit.  
1. Push the [UNLOCK] button to unlock and take out the photo  
frame drawer.

THE RESET BUTTON  
HOW TO CHECK REMOTE AND INDOOR  
TEMPERATURES  
This button is only used when the unit is operating in an unfavorable  
way or malfunctioning. Use a blunt stylus to hold down the button.  
All settings will return to their default values.  
The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the display.  
The outdoor temperature is shown on the top line of the display.  
The kinetic wave display on the outdoor temperature indicates if  
the reception of the remote unit is in good order.  
If no readings are received from the remote unit for more than four  
minutes, blanks “ ” will be displayed until further readings are  
successfully searched. Check if the remote unit is sound and secure.  
You can wait for a little while or press [ ] and [ ] simultaneously  
to enforce an immediate search.  
GETTING STARTED  
Once batteries are in place for the remote unit, they will start  
transmitting temperature readings at 78-second intervals.  
If the temperature goes above or below than the temperature  
measuring range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in  
specification), the display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.  
The main unit will also start searching for signals for about four  
minutes once batteries are installed. Upon successful reception, the  
outdoor temperature will be displayed on the top line and the indoor  
temperature on the second line. The main unit will automatically  
update its readings at about 78-second intervals.  
HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE  
DISPLAY  
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the  
main unit. There are three possible forms:  
If no signals are received, blanks "  
kinetic wave icon will show “  
" will be displayed and the  
“. Press [ ] and [  
]
simultaneously to enforce another search for about 4 minutes. This  
is useful in synchronizing the transmission and reception of the  
remote and main units.  
 
6
If that fails, check:  
1. The remote unit is still in place.  
The unit is in searching mode.  
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace as  
necessary.  
Temperature readings are  
securely registered.  
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the batteries  
of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage supply  
and the effective range.  
No signals.  
3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles  
and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.  
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM  
TEMPERATURES  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor and outdoor  
temperatures will be automatically stored in memory. To display  
them, press [ MEM ] once to display the maximum temperature  
and again the minimum temperature. The respective indicators,  
[ MAX or MIN ] will be displayed.  
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home  
security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of this  
product and cause temporarily 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 recedes.  
To clear the memory, hold down [ MEM ] for two seconds. The  
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press  
[ MEM ] now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will have  
the same values as the current ones until different readings are  
recorded.  
NOTE ON °C AND °F  
The unit of temperature display can be selected by pressing °C / °F  
button repeatedly.  
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS  
If without obvious reasons the display of the outdoor temperature  
goes blank, press [  
] and [  
] to enforce an immediate search.

When the RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU is within range, its radio-  
control mechanism will override all manual settings unless auto-  
reception of radio signal has been deactivated.  
CALENDAR CLOCK DISPLAY MODES  
The clock and the calendar share the same section of the display.  
The calendar is displayed in a day-month format.  
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the radio reception signal  
will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 2 to  
10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.  
When the reception is complete, the radio reception signal will stop  
blinking. The strength of the reception for the last full hour will be  
indicated.

CALENDAR MODE  
Each press on the [ MODE ] button will toggle the display between  
clock and calendar mode.  
For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and  
electrical appliances to minimize interference.  
If you wish to disable the auto-reception feature, press the [  
button for two seconds. The radio reception signal will disappear.  
The unit will not respond to radio signals.  
To enable the feature again, press the [ ] button for two seconds.  
The radio reception signal will start blinking to initiate reception  
automatically.
