7.3.4 In case of alarm
In case of an alarm, the corresponding symbol will be flashing and an alarm tone will sound.
Stop the alarm tone with any button.
Please note: When a measured value exceeds or falls below the alarm value, an alarm will

8. Positioning and mounting of the base station and the transmitters
The base station can be placed onto any flat surface (foldout stand) or wall mounted (mounting
hole) at your chosen location. Make sure you avoid the vicinity of any source of interference
such as computer screens, TV sets or solid metal objects.
The transmitter can be wall mounted (mounting hole at the back). When placed outdoors,
choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may trigger incorrect measure-
ment and continuous humidity damages the electronic components needlessly.
The waterproof cable sensor is ideal for the temperature control of the refrigerator, freezer,
aquarium, pool and pond. Place the cable with the sensing element at the desired location.
Once the desired location is chosen, check whether the transmission from the transmitter to the
base station is possible (transmission range of up to 100m in open areas). Within solid walls,
especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range can be reduced considerably.
If necessary choose another position for the transmitter and/or base station.
9.Care and maintenance
Clean the devices with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for an extended period of time.
Store the devices in a dry place.
9.1 Battery replacement
When the battery symbol appears on a channel display, change the batteries of the respective
transmitter.
Change the batteries of the base station, when the battery symbol appears on the display of the
indoor values.
Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the transmitter and the base
station must be restored – so always insert new batteries into both devices or start a manual
transmitter search.
