5. TROUBLESHOOTING
If you notice a malfunction of your device, always first check the battery please. Always
replace the batteries in the display unit and in the remote sensor!
Also please check the following before contacting the customer service of the store where
you purchased the device:
Information regarding transmittal fr om remote sensor to display unit
• It is very important that you activate the batteries in the remote sensor BEFORE activating
the batteries in the display unit. As soon as the batteries are inserted in the remote sensor it
will begin sending thermo measurement data. The display unit will start receiving data as
soon as its batteries are activated.
• Before mounting the sensor at its final position we strongly recommend ensuring the
successful communication, which means checking the data on the display unit. T o do so
place the sensor within a radius of approx. one meter of the display unit. Make sure there
are no sources of disturbance in the vicinity of the two devices.
• As soon as the measurement data appears on the display unit you may mount the sensor
within the maximum distance of 30m at a position of your choice.
6. BA TTERY CHANGE
The batteries last for about 8-12 months. Depending on the batteries used this time frame
may be a bit shorter or longer . A message icon will appear in window C to prevent an
undesired and unexpected interruption of operation.
- OUT LOW BA TTER Y
This means that the batteries in the remote sensor need to be replaced (after this please start
to scan for the remote sensor as described in chapter 4.2 !)
- IN LOW BA TTER Y
This means that the batteries in the display unit are becoming too weak and must be
replaced.
The ticker is automatically activated if a battery status message is activated. It is not possible
to stop the ticker as long as the message is displayed!
Important:
Use only new batteries and never combine old batteries with new batteries. Observe polarity
when inserting batteries!
Please also remember that used batteries do not belong in domestic trash, they should be
disposed of at designated collection points. Our environment will appreciate it!
Important note on batteries
• The device is delivered with batteries so that you can immediately put it into operation.
These batteries may not last as long as store bought batteries. As soon as you have to
replace the batteries in the remote sensor we recommend using alkaline batteries.
Especially when outdoor temperatures drop to 0°C (32°F) or below these batteries will
ensure a more reliable transmittal. If possible even use lithium batteries.
• Never use rechargeable batteries. The output of rechargeable batteries is often not
sufficient for our devices.

7. CARE OF THE DEVICE
- Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight over longer
periods.
- A void blows and shocks of any kind to the device.
- For cleaning use a dry soft cloth that you have moistened with water and a very
mild cleaning agent. Never use volatile substances such as benzene, thinner ,
cleansing agents in spray cans etc.
- When the device is not being used store it in a dry area and out of the reach of
small children. In such cases it is important to remove the batteries!
- If the device is activated under extreme coldness it may occur that the display
becomes illegible. As soon as it is returned to a warm environment the device
will function normally again.
- Please keep the Instruction Manual and other documents delivered with the
device stored carefully so that you can reference them at a later point if
necessary .
- Important: All disposal fees in Switzerland (vRG) as well as in the EU (WEEE) for
all Irox devices are covered.
8. SUPPORT
This device is a new development of Irox Development T echnology . All information was
made and checked by means of a functioning device. It may occur that adjustments and
improvements of the device will take place that due to typographical procedures were not
able to be listed in this manual. Should you notice deviations which make it difficult for you
to operate and use of the device you may at any time download the latest manual onto your
PC free of charge at www .irox.com.
REMARK:
• Before operating the device wait until data from the sensor appears on the display unit!
• The ef fective receiving radius may be limited by building structures (e.g. reinforced
concrete walls), metal surfaces or grates, electronic devices as well as the position of the
sensor and/or the receiver .
• Caution: It may occur that, due to disturbances in the surroundings (i.e. TV's, ener gy
saving lamps etc.), the sensor's signal gets lost. If this condition lasts over a longer period
of time, the receiver will switch off its continuous receiving mode and after about 1-2
hours will again search for a signal.
• If in the OUTDOOR line only bars appear you can manually search for the sensor , as
described in this chapter .
Placement of the sensor and the display unit
• Place the sensor so that the back or front side is facing the receiver . If possible avoid
shields or disturbances in the line of transmission.
• The remote sensor is weatherproof. A void direct sunlight, rain, or snow . Preferable are
measuring points in the shade, for example under a weather protected roof with good air
circulation.
• The remote sensor can be stood or mounted vertically on a wall. T o do so please use the
provided wall bracket, this should be mounted on the wall with a screw not with a nail.
• Ideally the sensor should be placed 1.25m (4 feet) over the ground respectively grass
surface. Stone, asphalt, or tar surfaces can become extremely warm and thus falsify the
measurement.
• Heat sources such as a fireplace or heaters of any type must be avoided.
• The display unit must be positioned within the transmitting radius of the sensor and away
from the direct influence of heating or cooling apparatus. A distance of at least 1 meter
must also be maintained between sensor and display unit and other remote equipment.
Remote equipment is, for example, cordless telephones, wireless headphones, baby
monitors, mobile phones etc.
Reposition the device. Preferably near a
window and leave it there overnight. Perhaps
an additional turning of the device by 90°
would help.
Replace batteries (in both devices!)
Check the position of the sensor . Read the
details explained below .
Start sensor search with the ▼ button (press
and hold for 3 seconds). If this is not
successful repeat and while the waves in the
left corner of window C are blinking press
and hold the ▼ button for 3 seconds again!
