                          REMOTE THERMO
                             MODEL: RMR232PHA
                               USER‘S MANUAL



                             INTRODUCTION
         Congratulations on your purchase of the RMR232PHN/
         RMR237PHU, an In—Out Thermometer with Radio—Controlled Clock
         and a Photo Frame attached.
         The basic package comes with the following:
         ——— Main unit (RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU).
         ——— Remote thermo sensor unit
         ——— Blue and metallic grey exchangeable front key panels.
         The main unit shows the indoor temperature, calendar clock and
         temperatures collected and transmitted by the remote unit.
         The main unit is also capable of keeping track of the maximum and
         minimum temperature measured. No wie installation is required
         and the RMR232PHN/RMR232PHU 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). (MSF 60 for UK Version)
         You can also set the calendar clock manually when it is off range.
         Other features include five—language display and two—minute
         crescendo daily alarm.

    For best operation,
     1.   Insert batteries for remote units before doing so for the main
          unit.
    2.    Place the main unit as close as possible next to the remote unit,
          reset the main unit after installing batteries. This will ensure
          easier synchronization between the transmission and reception
          of signals.
