5. Close the remote sensor battery compartment.
6. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the

wall mount or table stand.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel before you

mount the sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 metres (98 feet)

from the main (indoor) unit.

• 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.

You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.

DATA TRANSMISSION

Temp / Humidity Area be found. Search for the

sensor or check batteries.

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.

CLOCK

The clock automatically synchronizes the current time
and date when it is brought within range of the radio
signal DCF77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for
Central Europe (model BAR638HG / BAR638HG-2) or
MSF60 generated from Rugby, England (model
BAR638HGU / BAR638HGU-2).

NOTE

The signals are collected by the main unit when

it is within 1500 km (932 miles) of a signal.

Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated when
you first setup the unit, and whenever you press

RESET

Once complete, the reception icon will stop blinking. The
icon is shown in the Clock Area.
