FREEZER MATE is able to receive freezer status information wirelessly from your freezer. Contact your Sears sales representative for more information on this new and exciting device. Figure: FREEZERMATE Front View Figure: FREEZERMATE Back View BATTERY INSTALLATION This system requires the installation of two standard AA size batteries (not included). To install the batteries, remove the battery cover on the back of the device, install the batteries and put the cover back on. Note: Always use new batteries. Do not mix new battery with old battery. Old battery can leak chemicals that can destroy the unit. ! Warning: Please follow the proper procedure to dispose of old batteries. ICONS: PAIRING WITH YOUR FREEZER Pairing verifies that the FREEZER MATE is receiving signals from the desired freezer. If you have more than one freezer transmitting at the same time, this procedure insures that the communication link is limited to the desired freezer. Please follow the procedures below while standing in the close proximity of the desired freezer. 1. Remove the 9 volt battery from the freezer. 2. Reinstall the batteries in the FREEZER MATE. 3. Within one minute, the FREEZER MATE should be communicating. A steady on signal icon, current temperature and blinking lo/no freezer battery icon will be displayed. Once the icons described above are displayed, the FREEZER MATE setup is complete. The FREEZER MATE will not communicate with any other freezer. You Minus Sign Time Max Temperature and duration display Power to the Freezer Icon Low / No battery on the Freezer Degree Scale Hour Signal Low Battery on the FREEZER MATE Freezer Door Ajar Quick Freeze On
can change the temperature setting or select quick freeze on the freezer to further verify communication. 4. If you are not receiving the right signal, press and hold the RESET button for five seconds. The FREEZER MATE will beep and display the assigned number for the freezer. Now press the C/F button located on the back of the FREEZER MATE to release the current pairing. It will automatically try to pair with the next freezer it receives a signal from.

If you are still having problems pairing with the correct freezer, unplug your freezer from the power outlet for a few seconds, plug it back on and repeat the above tasks. SELECTING A LOCATION Choose location for the Freezer and the FREEZER MATE within 70 to 100 feet of each other. For example, place your freezer in the garage or basement and the FREEZER MATE in the kitchen. The construction of the building might affect the transmission range. Try not to have a concrete or metal structure in the direct path of those two units. Since the location of the freezer is somewhat stationary, please try several locations for the FREEZER MATE to determine the best location. If the communication link is lost, the signal icon will blink within 3 minutes. MODE OF OPERATION Temperature display can be changed from ºF to ºC to ºF by pressing the C/F button located on the back of the AidPad. Use a pointy object such as tooth pick or a paper clip to activate the button. QUICK FREEZE: The quick freeze icon stays on while the freezer is in quick freeze. ALARM FUNCTIONS TEMPERATURE ALARM: If the freezer temperature reaches over 23ºF (-5ºC) and the condition exists for more then an hour, the FREEZER MATE will activate the temperature alarm. The display will alternate between the current temperature and the duration of the condition and the buzzer will beep. Press the RESET button to stop the buzzer but the display will continue to flash until the problem at the freezer is identified, corrected and the temperature drops below 23ºF (-5ºC). If the temperature condition is caused by power lost to the freezer or door ajar, the corresponding icon will blink also. SIGNAL LOST ALARM: The Signal Icon will blink to indicate that the FREEZER MATE is not communicating with the freezer. Check for metal or concrete obstacle between the freezer and the FREEZER MATE. Relocate the FREEZER MATE to a suitable location where it receives signal again and the Signal icon stops blinking. POWER LOST ALARM: If the freezer loses power, the freezer power icon will blink and the buzzer will beep. Press the reset to stop the buzzer but the icon will continue to blink until the power is restored to the freezer. Reconnect your freezer to the power to resolve the alarm condition. LOW BATTERY ALARM ON FREEZER MATE: If the battery on the FREEZER MATE is low on power, the FREEZER MATE low battery icon will flash. Replace the batteries (follow the battery installation instructions) on the FREEZER MATE and follow the pairing procedure for normal operation. LOW BATTERY ON THE FREEZER ALARM: If the battery on the freezer is low on power, the freezer low battery icon will flash and the buzzer will beep. Press the RESET button to stop the buzzer but the icon will continue to flash until the problem is resolved. Replace the 9 volt battery on the freezer to resolve the problem. GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURE: Always place the FREEZER MATE in dry and cool place. Do not drop the unit. Do not submerge the unit under water or any liquid. Do not modify or tamper with the electronics. Modifying or tampering with the internal circuitry will invalidate the FCC authorization to operate it.
