BASE UNIT

Wireless Pager Alerts
The base station will alert the pager when the target temperature is 
reached or when the timer on the base station reaches “0:00.” To 
receive wireless data and alerts, be sure the pager is powered on 
and that the alarm switch is activated.

The wireless pager receives data from the base station unit and 
alerts you when the base stations’ temperature probe reaches a 
certain pre-determined number. The pager also alerts you when the 
base stations’ timer reaches “0:00.” The wireless pager also has a 
built-in timer that can be used independently from the wireless 
base-station.

The wireless thermometer system has a range of 100 feet, which 
can be affected by electronic interference and certain building and 
housing materials. When the pager cannot receive the signal from 
the base station for whatever reason, the pager will read “OUT OF 
RANGE” on the display and will beep.

Wireless Pager Backlight
The wireless pager has a built-in backlight for easy viewing. To 
activate the backlight for 4 seconds, press any button on the front 
of the pager.

Setting the pager timer
To set the timer, first press the “MODE” button to select TIMER. 
Press the “+HR” and “-MIN” to adjust the timer to the desired 
countdown time. Then press “START/STOP” to start and stop the 
timer. To reset the count, stop the timer first and press “+HR” and 
“-MIN” together at the same time. Slide the “alarm on/off” switch to 
“on” and the alarm will sound when the timer countdown reaches 
“0:00”. 

NOTE: both the base unit and the wireless pager must 

be powered on and in range for the independent pager timer to 
work properly.
