4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation
Main Base Station:
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit.
- Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover.
Wireless Remote Sensors:
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of each sensor.
- Insert 2 AAA batteries (not included) into each sensor according to the polarity markings (+/-).
- Before closing the cover, select a channel (1, 2, or 3) for each sensor using the small switch inside the battery compartment. Ensure each sensor is set to a unique channel.
- Close the battery compartment cover.
The main unit and three wireless sensors require battery installation.
4.2 Sensor Pairing
Once batteries are installed in both the main unit and sensors, the main unit will automatically search for and connect to the sensors. Ensure the sensors are within range of the main unit during initial setup. The main unit will display the readings for each connected channel.
4.3 Placement Guidelines
Main Base Station:
- Place the main unit indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect its readings.
- It can be placed on a tabletop using its integrated stand or mounted on a wall using the hang hole.
Wireless Remote Sensors:
- Place the outdoor sensors in desired locations within the 100-meter (328 feet) wireless range.
- Important Note: The remote sensors are not waterproof. To protect them from rain and direct sunlight, place them under an eave, in a sheltered area, or inside a weather-resistant enclosure. Do not expose them directly to rainwater.
- Avoid placing sensors near large metal objects, thick walls, or other electronic devices that could interfere with the wireless signal.
The main unit offers both tabletop and wall-mount options for flexible placement.
Strategically place the three sensors to monitor different outdoor areas.
5. Operation
5.1 Display Readings
The large LCD screen displays the following information:
- Indoor Temperature and Humidity: Shown at the top of the display.
- Outdoor Temperature and Humidity: Readings from the three wireless sensors are displayed in separate sections (Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3) below the indoor readings.
- Temperature/Humidity Trend Indicators: Arrows indicate whether the temperature or humidity is rising, falling, or remaining stable.
- Humidity Expression: Icons indicate the comfort level based on humidity: WET (humidity ≥ 65%), COM (45% ≤ humidity ≤ 65%), DRY (humidity ≤ 45%).
Simultaneous display of indoor and three outdoor measuring data.
5.2 Temperature Unit Selection (°C/°F)
To switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F), press the °C/°F button located on the back of the main unit.
5.3 MAX/MIN Record
The thermometer records the maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values for both indoor and outdoor channels. To view these records:
- Press the MIN/MAX button once to display the maximum recorded values.
- Press the MIN/MAX button again to display the minimum recorded values.
- To clear the recorded MAX/MIN values, press and hold the MIN/MAX button for approximately 3 seconds. The values will reset to the current readings.
5.4 Backlight Function
The main unit features a backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions:
- Press the LIGHT button on the top of the main unit to activate the backlight.
- The backlight will automatically turn off after 10 seconds if no further operation is performed.
