5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

1. For the Wireless Outdoor Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor. Insert the required AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. For the Main Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit (refer to Figure 2). Insert the required AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.

Important: For optimal performance and to ensure proper synchronization, it is recommended to install batteries in the outdoor sensor first, then in the main unit.

5.2 Sensor Synchronization

After installing batteries in both units, the main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Once connected, the outdoor temperature will appear on the main unit's display.

5.3 Placement Recommendations

• Main Unit: Place the main unit indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect its indoor temperature readings.
• Outdoor Sensor: For accurate outdoor readings, place the sensor in a shaded area, protected from direct rain and sunlight. Ensure it is within the wireless range of the main unit (typically up to 30 meters in open air, less with obstructions). Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electrical appliances that could interfere with the wireless signal.
