3.1 Important Information
In order to get the full screen brightness and easy visability of all numbers and symbols,
●
we recommend you use the included mains adaptor rather than batteries for the main
unit.
The remote sensor will work better if the main unit is powered by the included mains
●
adaptor rather than batteries.
Regarding the wireless remote sensor (which can be positioned indoors or outdoors),

if it is used outside particulatly in cold conditions we recommend the use of Lithium AA
(requires 2) batteries as this will result in a more powerful signal and ensure no signal
loss. This is only precautionary advice and the remote sensor does work fine with normal
Alkaline batteries.
