5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Setup and Synchronization

After battery installation, the main unit will automatically search for the remote sensor signal. This may take a few minutes. Once connected, the outdoor temperature and humidity will be displayed.

5.2 Time and Date Setting

Press the MODE button to cycle through display modes. When in time display mode, press and hold MODE to enter setting mode. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust values, and MODE to confirm and move to the next setting (e.g., 12/24 hour format, hour, minute, year, month, day, language for day of week).

5.3 Temperature and Humidity Display

The main unit displays both indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity simultaneously. You can switch between °C and °F by pressing the °C/°F button (if available, or usually part of time setting).

5.4 Weather Forecast

The weather station provides a forecast based on barometric pressure changes. The forecast icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, stormy) are displayed on the screen.

5.6 Channel Selection (for multiple sensors)

If you have multiple outdoor sensors (up to 3 supported), press the CHANNEL button on the main unit to cycle through the sensor channels (CH1, CH2, CH3) and view their respective readings.

6. Maintenance

• Clean the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Avoid exposing the main unit to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or high humidity.
• If the display becomes dim or unresponsive, replace the batteries.
• Do not disassemble the unit; this will void the warranty.

7. Troubleshooting

No outdoor temperature/humidity display:

Ensure batteries are correctly installed in both the main unit and the remote sensor. Check that the sensor is within range (50m) and free from major obstructions. Try re-synchronizing by removing and reinserting batteries in both units, starting with the main unit.

Inaccurate readings:

Ensure the sensor is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from heat sources or direct sunlight. Allow time for readings to stabilize after initial setup or relocation.

Display is dim or blank:

Replace the batteries in the main unit.
