- Placement:
- Place the floating thermometer sensor in your pool, fish pond, or other water body.
- Position the indoor receiver in a convenient location within your home, ensuring it is within the wireless transmission range of the sensor.
- Pairing (Automatic): The sensor and receiver should automatically pair once both are powered on. If pairing does not occur, ensure both units have fresh batteries and are within range.
- Gateway Connection (Optional): The thermometer can be used with a compatible gateway (e.g., Tuya-compatible). After pairing with a gateway, you can remotely view data on your smartphone. Please refer to your gateway's specific instructions for connection details.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: The devices power on automatically upon battery insertion. There is no manual power button.
- Reading Temperatures: The indoor receiver will display the water temperature from the floating sensor, as well as the indoor temperature and humidity.
- Switching Temperature Units (°C/°F): On the indoor receiver, locate the 'C/F' button. Press this button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit display modes.
- Checking MAX/MIN Records: On the indoor receiver, locate the 'MAX/MIN' button. Press this button to view the maximum and minimum recorded temperatures and humidity levels.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe both the sensor and receiver with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the indoor receiver in water.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries promptly when the low battery warning appears on the display to ensure continuous operation and prevent data loss. Always ensure the floating sensor's cover is tightly sealed after battery replacement.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage. Store in a cool, dry place.
Troubleshooting
- No Reading on Receiver:
- Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power in both the sensor and receiver.
- Ensure the sensor and receiver are within the 300ft (90m) transmission range.
- Reduce potential interference from other electronic devices or thick walls.
- Inaccurate Water Temperature:
- Ensure the floating sensor is fully submerged in the water.
- Verify the sensor's cover is tightly sealed to prevent water damage affecting readings.
- Water Inside Sensor: If water enters the sensor, immediately remove batteries, dry the unit thoroughly, and ensure the cover is properly sealed before re-inserting batteries.
- Gateway/App Connectivity Issues: If using with a gateway, ensure the gateway is properly configured and within range of the thermometer. Consult the gateway's manual or manufacturer for specific troubleshooting steps.

User Tips
- For optimal wireless transmission, try to minimize obstacles between the floating sensor and the indoor receiver. Large metal objects or thick concrete walls can reduce the effective range.
- If you plan to use the thermometer with a smart home system, confirm compatibility with your specific gateway (e.g., Tuya) before purchase.
- Always double-check that the floating sensor's battery compartment is securely closed to maintain its IPX7 waterproof rating.
