Wireless Remote Monitoring Station; Setup Guide - Kenmore 251-99701-0001 Use And Care Manual

!
The remote monitoring station is a receiver
with a receiving range d only 330 feet in
open air with no obstructions. Actual receiving
range will vary depending on what is in
the path d the signal transmitted from the
dehumidifier unit. Each obstruction (roof,
walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will
effectively cut signal range in half.
Example: The wireless remote monitor with
a 330-foot range is mounted on an interior
walt or placed on a countertop so the signal
from the dehumidifier has to pass through one
basement wall, across the 10-foot width d the
room through the room's other watt and then
through the floor to the room upstairs where
the receiver is located. The first wall
will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the
second walt will reduce the range to 87 feet.
Factoring in the 10-foot room, this leaves
a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal
range. Passing up through the floor has now
reduced the effective range to 38 feet.
Typically this allowance is enough for most
frame-constructed homes; however certain
materials can reduce range even further.
Metal siding, stucco, and some types d
glass can reduce signal range by as much
as 75% compared to the 50% reduction
typical d most obstructions. It is possible
to receive a signal through these materials;
however maximum range will be much tess,
due to their tendency to absorb or reflect
a much larger portion d the dehumidifier's
signal.
NOTE: You may have to move the monitor
closer to the main unit if it is not receiving a
proper signal following set-up procedures.
Setup Guide
Insert the batteries in the monitor. After
the batteries are inserted, the Monitoring
Station will start receiving signal data from
the dehumidifier: temperature, humidity, etc.
should be displayed on the monitor's screen.
If this doesn't happen after 2 minutes, check
the dehumidifier to make sure it is operating
properly. Remove the batteries from the
monitor, wait a minute, then replace.
