PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
•
Use this device with care. Do not drop it and do not sub-
ject it to significant impact.
•
Do not dismantle the sensor. Doing so would void the
Geonaute warranty and could damage the device. This
does not apply to changing the batteries, as described
under the heading " Changing the Batteries ."
•
Please read the brochure carefully before use and use the
device under normal operating conditions.
•
The wireless sensor is resistant to splashes, but it should
never be immersed in water or exposed to heavy rain.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and wind.
•
Do not expose the sensor to extreme temperatures. In
wintertime, cold temperatures reduce the power and life-
time of the sensor's batteries. This means that at cold
temperatures (0°C), the sensor may stop transmitting a
signal even though it was transmitting at summer tempe-
ratures (20°C). To solve the problem, move the sensor
closer, or use rechargeable Ni-MH batteries, which are
less sensitive to the cold, and change the batteries more
often.
•
Like any device utilizing radio transmission, the receiver
and the wireless sensor are sensitive to electromagnetic
interference. Do not place them near electromagnetic
sources (televisions, computers, cordless telephones,
electrical equipment) that may impair their functioning.
•
Never use an abrasive or corrosive cleaner on this device.
Abrasive cleaners may scratch the plastic parts and cor-
rode the electronic circuit.
•
Use only new batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.
Used batteries in contact with new ones could leak.
