MODEL: RMR182  
USER'S MANUAL  
INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the RMR182 Multi-  
Channel In-Out Thermometer with 433MHz cable free sensor and  
radio-controlled calendar clock.  
The basic package comes with a main unit, which is the tempera-  
ture and calendar clock station, and a remote unit, the thermo  
sensor.  
The main unit has a large display for indoor temperature,  
calendar clock and temperatures collected and transmitted by the  
remote unit. The main unit can support up to three remote units.  
The main unit is capable of keeping track of the maximum and  
minimum temperature of different sites. No wire installation is  
required as the RMR182 operates at 433MHz.  
As for the calendar clock, it is radio-controlled. It automatically  
synchronizes its current time and date when it is brought within  
an approximate 1500km radius of the radio signal generated from  
Frankfurt,Germany(DCF77).  
You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.  
Other features include four-language display, four-step crescendo  
dual alarms and interchangeable display modes.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
For best operation,  
1. Assign different channels to different remote units.  
2. Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main  
unit.  
3. Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit

easier synchronization between the transmission and reception  
of signals.  
5. Replace the battery compartment door and secure its screws.  
Note that once a channel is assigned to a remote unit, you can only  
change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.  
4. Position the remote unit and main unit within effective trans-  
mission range, which, in usual circumstances, is 20 to 30  
meters.  
BATTERY INSTALLATION: MAIN UNIT  
Note that the effective range is vastly affected by the building  
materials and where the main and remote units are positioned. Try  
various set-ups for best result.  
1. Gently lift the tab on the battery compartment door.  
2. Install 2 alkaline batteries (UM-3 or “AA” size 1.5V) strictly  
according to the polarities shown.  
Though the remote units are weather proof, they should be placed  
away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
3. Replace the battery compartment door.

2. Select the channel number on the CHANNEL slide switch.  
3. Select the temperature display unit on the °C/°F slide switch.  
4. Install 2 alkaline batteries (UM-4 or “AAA” size 1.5V) strictly  
according to the polarities shown.

HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND  
OR WALL MOUNTING  
The main unit has a removable table stand, which when installed,  
can support the unit on a flat surface. Or you can remove the stand  
and mount the unit on a wall using the recessed screw hole.  
As for the remote unit, it comes with a wall-mount holder and a  
removable stand. Use either to hold the unit in place.

GETTING STARTED  
Once batteries are in place for the remote units, they will start  
transmitting temperature readings at 30-second intervals.  
The main unit will also start searching for signals for about a  
minuteoncebatteriesareinstalled. Uponsuccessfulreception, the  
individual channel temperatures will be displayed on the top line  
and the indoor temperature on the second line. The main unit will  
automatically update its readings at about 30-second intervals.

If no signals are received, blanks "----" will be displayed and the  
kinetic wave icon will show " ". Press [CHANNEL] and  
TEMPERATURE TREND  
[MEMORY] simultaneously to enforce another search for about  
30 seconds. This is useful in synchronizing the transmission and  
reception of the remote and main units.  
The temperature trend indicator on the screen shows the trend of  
samplings collected at that particular remote site. Three trends,  
rising, steady and falling, will be shown.  
Repeat this step whenever you find discrepancies between the  
reading shown on the main unit and that on the corresponding  
remote unit.

The indoor temperature is shown on the second line of the display.  
As for the remote sites or channels, press [CHANNEL] to go from  
one channel to another. The kinetic wave display on the channel  
number indicates if the reception of that particular channel is in  
good order.  
MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM  
TEMPERATURES  
The maximum and minimum recorded indoor temperatures and  
those of outdoor channels will be automatically stored in memory.  
To display them:  
If no readings are received from one particular channel blanks  
---” will be displayed until further readings are successfully  
searched. Check if the remote unit is sound and secure. You can  
wait for a little while or press [CHANNEL] and [MEMORY]  
simultaneously to enforce an immediate search. Of course no  
reading will be shown if no remote unit is assigned to that channel.  
1. Select the channel to be checked.  
2. Press [MEMORY] once to display the maximum temperature  
and again the minimum temperature. The respective indicators,  
MAX or MIN will be displayed.  
If the temperature goes above or below the temperature measuring  
range of the main unit or the remote unit (stated in specification),  
the display will show “HHH” or “LLL”.  
To clearthememory,holddown[MEMORY]fortwoseconds.The  
maximum and minimum temperatures will be erased. If you press  
[MEMORY] now, the maximum and minimum temperatures will  
have the same values as the current ones until different readings  
are recorded.

NOTE ON °C AND °F  
DISCONNECTED SIGNALS  
The unit of temperature display is selected with the °C/°F slide  
If without obvious reasons the display for a particular channel goes  
blank, press [CHANNEL] and [MEMORY] to enforce an imme-  
diate search. If that fails, check:  
switch. Select °C for Centigrade or °F for Fahrenheit.  
Note that the remote temperature display on the main unit is  
dominated by the selection on the °C/°F slide switch of the main  
unit. Whatever the display units of the remote sensors are, they  
will be automatically converted to the chosen one of the main unit.  
1. The remote unit of that channel is still in place.  
2. The batteries of both the remote unit and main unit. Replace as  
necessary.  
Note: When the temperature falls below freezing point, the  
batteries of outdoor units will freeze, lowering their voltage  
supply and the effective range.  
HOW TO READ THE KINETIC WAVE  
DISPLAY  
3. The transmission is within range and path is clear of obstacles  
and interference. Shorten the distance when necessary.  
The kinetic wave display shows the signal receiving status of the  
main unit. There are three possible forms:  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
The unit is in searching mode.  
Signals from other household devices, such as door bells, home  
security systems and entry controls, may interfere with those of  
this product and cause temporary reception failure. This is normal  
and does not affect the general performance of the product. The  
transmission and reception of temperature readings will resume  
once the interference recedes.  
Temperature readings are  
securely registered.  
No signals.

CALENDAR CLOCK DISPLAY MODES  
ABOUT RADIO RECEPTION  
The RMR182 supports four display modes in the sequence of:  
The RMR182 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar  
clock once it is brought within range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio  
signal.  
MODE 1.  
Local Time  
When the RMR182 is within range, its radio-control mechanism  
will override all manual settings.  
Hour, Minute, Second  
----------------------------  
Day, Month  
When the unit is receiving radio signal, the radio reception signal  
will start to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 2 to  
10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.  
MODE 2.
