FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interfer- ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. This equipment complies with the limits for a Class B digital device as specified in Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits pro- vide reasonable protection against radio and TV interference in a residential area. However, your equipment might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To eliminate interfer- ence, you can try one or more of the fol- lowing corrective measures:

antenna • increase the distance between the equipment and the radio or TV Consult your local RadioShack store if the problem still exists. ˆ Introduction Your RadioShack Extra Remote Sensor is designed for use with the RadioShack Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Thermometer with Indoor/Outdoor Hygrometer system (Cat. No. 63-1030). Installation is easy, with no wires to connect. You can mount the remote sensor outdoors or in another room (away from the system’s main unit),

viewing on a table or desktop. INSTALLING BATTERIES Your sensor requires two AA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best per- formance and longest life, we recom- mend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

sensor in temperatures below –4°F (–20°C), we recommend you use lithium batteries. Follow these steps to install batteries. 1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws in the battery compart- ment cover, then lift off the cover. 2. Set CHANNEL and °C/°F inside the compartment to the desired set-

Channel” on Page 13 and “Changing the Degree Format” on Page 15) 3. Place the batteries in the compart- ment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside. 4. Use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET and initialize the sensor’s transmitter. 5. Replace the cover and secure it with its screws. When appears (on either the sensor or under the sensor’s channel number on the main unit) or the sensor stops operat- ing properly, replace the batteries.

bury them. Caution: If you do not plan to use the sensor for a week or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts. MOUNTING THE SENSOR You can place the remote sensor on a flat surface, or mount it on the wall using screws (not supplied) and the supplied bracket. Selecting a Location Choose a location for the remote sensor that is within about 328 feet (100 m) of the main unit. The remote sensor can be placed either indoors or out.

might affect the transmission range be- tween the main unit and the remote sen- sor. If you have a choice of several locations, try each to see which provides the best performance. Caution: Do not place the remote sensor where it will be: • in direct sunlight • in water (it is weather-resistant, not water-proof) • near electrical appliances or heating or air conditioning vents Using the Stand To set the remote sensor on a flat sur- face, insert the ends of the supplied wire

sensor, it displays the current tempera- ture, humidity, and the channel number it is set to, and starts transmitting signals (to your Cat. No. 63-1030 system’s main unit) about every 41 seconds. CHANGING THE DISPLAY CHANNEL The Cat. No. 63-1030 system’s main unit can display information for up to three dif- ferent remote sensors.

sensor’s battery compartment to a differ- ent setting than all other remote sensors you are using. Then press RESET using a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip). Note: If you set two or more remote sen- sors to use the same channel, the main unit displays temperature and humidity information for the remote sensor's signal it received first.

FORMAT To change the displayed degree format, set °C/°F inside the remote sensor’s bat- tery compartment to the desired setting. RESETTING THE SENSOR If the remote sensor stops operating properly, use a pointed object (such as a straightened paper clip) to press RESET. This resets the displayed temperature

dry immediately. Use and store the sen- sor only in normal temperature environ- ments. Handle the sensor carefully; do not drop it. Keep the sensor away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Modifying or tampering with the sensor’s internal components can cause a mal- function and invalidate its warranty. If your sensor is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
