Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the transmitter, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the device. Ensure the device is dry before storing or re-inserting into water.

Battery Replacement

When the display becomes dim or the transmission signal weakens, it is time to replace the batteries. Follow the battery installation steps outlined in the Setup section.

Storage

If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store the transmitter in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

  • No temperature display on transmitter: Check battery polarity and ensure batteries are fresh.
  • No signal on radio station: Ensure the radio station is powered on and within the 100m range. Reduce obstructions between the transmitter and the station. Replace transmitter batteries if they are low. Verify that your radio station is one of the compatible models (30.3060, 30.3039, 30.3053).
  • Inaccurate temperature reading: Ensure the transmitter is fully immersed to the 100mm measurement depth.
