5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to set up your GEEVON thermometer:

1. Install Batteries:
   • Open the battery compartment on the back of the display unit and insert 2 AAA batteries (not included), observing polarity.
   • Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor and insert 2 AAA batteries (not included), observing polarity.

   Note: Ensure batteries are inserted correctly.

2. Set Sensor Channel:
   • Before inserting batteries into the remote sensor, locate the channel selector switch inside the battery compartment.
   • Set the selector to your desired transmission channel (1, 2, or 3). If using multiple sensors, set each to a different channel.
3. Pairing the Units:
   • After installing batteries in both units and setting the sensor channel, place the display unit and the remote sensor close to each other (within a few feet).
   • The display unit will automatically search for the sensor signal. A red light on the sensor will flash when it transmits data.
   • Allow a few minutes for the units to synchronize and display accurate temperature and humidity data.
4. Placement Options:
   • Display Unit: The main display unit can be placed on a tabletop using its integrated stand or mounted on a wall.
   • Remote Sensor: For optimal performance and longevity, consider the following guidelines for outdoor sensor placement:
   • Vertical Placement: Always place the sensor vertically.
   • Out of Direct Sunlight: Position the sensor in a shaded area to avoid inaccurate readings due to direct sun exposure.
   • Avoid Horizontal Placement: Do not place the sensor horizontally.
   • Avoid Ground Placement: Do not place the sensor directly on the ground.
   • Range: Ensure the sensor is within 200ft/60m of the display unit, especially in open areas. Walls and other obstructions can reduce the effective range.

5. Time, Calendar, and Alarm Clock:
   • The display unit shows the current time (12/24H format) and date.
   • The alarm clock and snooze functions can be set using the buttons on the back of the unit. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included quick start guide for specific setting procedures.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the display unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both the display unit and remote sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the screen to ensure continuous and accurate readings.
• Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

8. Troubleshooting

• No outdoor reading or flashing dashes:
  • Ensure the remote sensor is within the 200ft/60m range of the display unit.
  • Check if the remote sensor is placed vertically and out of direct sunlight.
  • Verify that the batteries in both units are fresh and correctly installed.
  • Press the "CH" button on the display unit to re-scan for the sensor.
  • Ensure the channel selected on the display unit matches the channel option chosen on the outdoor sensor.
• Inaccurate readings:
  • Place both the display unit and sensor side-by-side for a few minutes to allow them to synchronize and ensure consistent readings.
  • Ensure the outdoor sensor is not exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources that could skew readings.
• Display is dim or blank:
  • Replace the batteries in the display unit.

9. User Tips

• For the most accurate outdoor temperature, always place the remote sensor in a shaded, well-ventilated area, protected from rain and direct sunlight.
• While the outdoor sensor is designed for outdoor use, it is not explicitly stated as fully waterproof. Positioning it under an eave or in a sheltered spot is recommended to prolong its lifespan.
• The device is generally accurate for household use. If you require highly precise measurements for scientific or industrial applications, specialized equipment may be necessary.
• The main unit has an internal sensor for indoor temperature and humidity. The external sensor is required for outdoor readings.
