Setup and Mounting

Follow these steps to properly set up and mount your thermometer:

1. Select Location: Choose a location on a wall that is out of direct sunlight for the most accurate readings and optimal glow-in-the-dark performance.
2. Prepare for Mounting: Two screws or nails (not included) are required for mounting. Place the first screw approximately 2¾ inches below the point where the top of the thermometer will be positioned, leaving the screw or nail head out approximately ¼ inch. Place the second screw or nail 8 inches below the first.
3. Mount Thermometer: Carefully place the thermometer over the screws or nail heads, aligning the built-in hangers on the back with the fasteners.

Operating Instructions

The Taylor Glow in the Dark Wall Thermometer operates passively, requiring no batteries or external power. It measures ambient air temperature using a precision coil.

• Temperature Reading: The thermometer displays the current temperature on its large dial. The pointer indicates the temperature in both Fahrenheit (°F) and Celsius (°C).
• Glow Feature: To activate the glow-in-the-dark feature, ensure the thermometer is exposed to sufficient light during the day. The dial graphics and pointer will absorb light energy and then glow in low light conditions for up to 4 hours.
• Optimal Placement: For the most accurate temperature readings, avoid placing the thermometer in direct sunlight or near heat sources (e.g., vents, appliances) or cold sources (e.g., air conditioning units).

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your thermometer, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the thermometer clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or the glow-in-the-dark material.
• Storage: If storing the thermometer for an extended period, keep it in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your thermometer, consider the following:

• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the thermometer is not in direct sunlight or near any heat/cold sources that could affect its reading. Allow sufficient time for the thermometer to acclimate to the ambient temperature of its location.
• Glow Feature Not Working: Verify that the thermometer has been exposed to sufficient light during the day. The glow feature relies on absorbing light energy. If it has been in a dark area, it will not glow.
• Physical Damage: While the lens is shatterproof, extreme impact can still cause damage. Inspect for any visible damage if readings are consistently off.
