Maintenance
- Clean the units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the units in water.
- Ensure the remote sensor's battery compartment is securely closed to maintain its waterproof rating.
- Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display.

- No Signal from Remote Sensor: Ensure the remote sensor is within the 300ft transmission range. Press and hold the [CH/R] button on the main unit to re-sync. Check the remote sensor's batteries.
- Inaccurate Readings: Allow units to stabilize for at least 15-30 minutes after setup or significant temperature changes. Ensure sensors are not exposed to direct sunlight or extreme drafts.
- "HH.L" or "LL.L" Display: This indicates that the temperature or humidity is out of the measurement range.
