3.3 Sensor Placement and Synchronization

1. Place the outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and heavy rain, to ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings.
2. Ensure the sensor is within the wireless transmission range of the main unit (up to 50 meters in open space, up to 25 meters with obstacles).
3. Upon powering both units, the main unit should automatically search for and connect to the outdoor sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity will appear on the display.
4. If the connection is not established, press the 'CH' button on the main unit to initiate a manual search. You may also need to press the 'RESET' button on the outdoor sensor.

Press and hold the '▼' (Down) button to switch the barometric pressure unit between hPa/MB and inHg.

4.6 Backlight Control

When powered by batteries, the backlight will illuminate briefly when the 'SNOOZE/LIGHT' button is pressed. When powered by the USB cable, the backlight remains continuously on.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries in both the main unit and the outdoor sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

5.2 Cleaning

Wipe the main unit and outdoor sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the display or casing.

5.3 Sensor Protection

While the outdoor sensor is designed for outdoor use, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or direct water spray can affect its performance and lifespan. Position the sensor under an overhang or in a sheltered spot to protect it from extreme weather conditions.

6. Troubleshooting

• No Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Reading:
  Check if the outdoor sensor batteries are correctly installed and charged. Ensure the sensor is within the effective transmission range of the main unit. Try re-synchronizing by power cycling both units and pressing the 'CH' button on the main unit.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  Ensure the outdoor sensor is not in direct sunlight or exposed to heat sources, which can cause artificially high temperature readings. Allow some time for the readings to stabilize after initial setup. For humidity, ensure the sensor is not in an area with extreme moisture or dryness that doesn't reflect the general environment.
• Display Not Clear/Hard to Read:
  The display's readability can vary with viewing angle. Adjust the angle of the main unit for optimal visibility. If using batteries, the backlight is temporary; connect the USB power cable for continuous illumination.
• Button Press Beep Sound:
  Some users have noted that button presses produce an audible beep that cannot be disabled. This is a design characteristic of the device.
• Outdoor Sensor Malfunction After Rain:
  The outdoor sensor, while weather-resistant, may be vulnerable to heavy water ingress. Ensure it is placed in a sheltered location to prevent direct exposure to heavy rain or standing water.
