When I insert a new battery in the dial I hear a low pitched tone from the 

Base Unit. 

Battery voltage low 

 

A  single  low  pitched  beep  signifies  a  low  battery.    This  is  accompanied  by 
slow flashing of the light on the dial.  Replace battery with a new one. 

5.

 

After  a  blackout  or  after  plugging  in  the  Base  Unit  the  alert  begins  to 

sound immediately. 

One  of  the  burners  was  ON  prior  to  the  power  being  lost.    To  help  provide 
maximum  protection,  the  base  unit  will  remember  if  a  burner  was  on  prior  to 
losing power.  If a burner was on then it will alert you immediately once power is 
restored to remind you that something was cooking and the burner may still be 
on. 

 

The alarm can be stopped by touching each of the dials one at a time.  This 
will renew the link to the base unit. 

 

If the alarm continues to sound then the base unit may need to be reset.  To 
reset  touch  and  hold  the  learn  button  on  the  base  unit  until  you  hear  3 
beeps.  This will erase all settings in memory and disable the RangeMinder.  
In this case you must put the base unit back into learning mode  and touch 
each  dial  to  renew  the  link  to  the  base.    Ensure  the  base  beeps  once  for 
each  dial.    If  this  step  is  not  performed  the  RangeMinder  will  remain 
disabled. 

6.

 

After cleaning my stove/range the RangeMinder began to beep or did not 

operate properly. 

During  the  calibration  process  each  dial  is  setup  to  work  with  the  particular 
sensor ring below it.  Moving a dial to a different burner may cause the dial to 
not operate properly. 

 

Move the dial back to the position used during the calibration 

OR

 

 

Remove the battery and perform the calibration procedure again for the new 
position.
