HOW TO SET UP YOUR THERMOMETER
Setup Requires:
• Display
• Wireless Sensors (2)
• Instruction Manual
What You'll Need (Not Included)
• (7) AA batteries) for the Display and Wireless Sensors
Be sure to use high-quality alkaline batteries. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. The freezer
sensor requires lithium batteries for low temperature conditions. Cold temperatures can cause alkaline batteries to
function improperly. Use lithium batteries in the freezer sensor for temperatures below -4ºF / -20ºC.
STEP 2
Set A-B-C switch to match display. Insert
wireless sensor batteries.
STEP 1
Set A-B-C switch to match wireless
sensors. Insert display batteries and
select degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
To select between degrees Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC)
temperature units, press and release the “ºC/ºF” button,
located on the back of the thermometer display.
STEP 3
Display Placement
Place display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. Display is magnet mountable and has a fold-out stand for tabletop use. For
wall mounting, hang using the keyhole located on the back of the unit.
Sensor Placement
• Both sensors will work in either the refrigerator or freezer, however the default alerts are set based on the sensor's
indicated use (see page 5).
• Each sensor is equipped with a silicon band to securely attach to a wire shelf.
• Each sensor also includes a detachable suction cup that can be used to attach the sensor to the interior surface of the
refrigerator. Please note: suction cups do not adhere well to freezing surfaces.
• Display and sensors must be located within 75 ft (23 m) of each other.

USING THE THERMOMETER DISPLAY
STEP 4
High & Low Records
The thermometer displays high and low temperature
records for all-time and the past 24 hours (rolling). All-
time records reflect the highest and lowest temperatures
recorded since the batteries were inserted or the records
have been cleared. High and low records for the past 24
hours are shown on the display, by default.
Press and the release the “
^
” or “ ” button to view all-time
records. If no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, the display
will return to normal operation mode.
To clear the high records, press and hold the “
^
” button
for 5 seconds while viewing the record you wish to clear. To
clear the low records, press and hold the “ ” button for 5
seconds while viewing the records you wish to clear. Dashes
display to confirm you have cleared the record(s).
Note:
When thermometer is in normal operating mode (not in alarm
setup mode), the min/max readings display the highest/
lowest temperatures from the previous 24 hours.
Programmable Alarms
Programmable alarms notify you audibly and visually
when temperatures exceed your preset minimum /
maximum temperature range. An alert is triggered when a
temperature is out of range for longer than 5 minutes. This
prevents false alarms due to the fridge/freezer door being
held open while new items are being loaded/unloaded.
To enable alerts for both sensors, press and hold the
“
” button for 5 seconds until “ ” is shown next to the
current temperatures.
To enable alerts for a select sensor, press the “
” or
“ ” button first, then press the “ ” button once to
enable alarm. Disable the alarms at any time by following
the same steps until “
” is shown next to the current
temperature. The default temperature alarm settings for the
refrigerator thermometer are minimum 33ºF / maximum
40ºF. The default temperature alarm settings the freezer
thermometer are minimum -20ºF / maximum 32ºF.
Setup an Alarm
1. Select the sensor you want to customize by pressing the
“
” or “ ” button.
2. Press and release the “SET” button; the minimum
temperature alarm setting will blink.
3. Press the “
^
” or “ ” button to increase or decrease the
minimum temperature alarm setting.
4. Press the “SET” button to confirm the minimum
temperature alarm setting.
5. Press the “
^
” or “ ” button to increase or decrease the
maximum temperature alarm setting.
6. Press the “SET” button to confirm the maximum
temperature alarm setting.

PROBLEM CORRECTION
Temperature is showing
dashes
• Relocate the display and/or the sensors.
• The units must be within 75 ft (23 m) of each other.
• Flashing of the temperature is generally an indication of wireless interference. Perform a hard reset to gain a strong
connection between the units:
1. Bring all 3 units together, side-by-side.
2. Remove all batteries from all 3 units.
3. Reinstall batteries in thermometer display first.
4. Reinstall batteries into sensor #1.
5. Reinstall batteries into sensor #2.
6. The display should read temperatures from both sensors almost instantly.
Inaccurate temperature Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy
duty or rechargeable batteries.
Display screen not
working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Verify you're within the measurable temperature range (32º F to 122º F; 0°C to 50°C).
