4. Setup
4.1 Battery Installation
The main display unit and each remote sensor require 2x AAA batteries (not included). Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
- For Remote Sensors: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of each sensor. Insert 2x AAA batteries. Close the cover securely.
- For Main Display Unit: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit. Insert 2x AAA batteries. Close the cover securely.

4.2 Channel Selection and Synchronization
Each remote sensor has a channel switch (1, 2, or 3) inside its battery compartment. Before closing the battery cover, select a unique channel for each sensor. The main display unit will automatically cycle through or allow manual selection of these channels.
- Set each remote sensor to a different channel (CH1, CH2, CH3) using the switch inside the battery compartment.
- After installing batteries in both the main unit and sensors, the main unit should automatically begin receiving data. If not, press the "CH SYNC" button on the main unit to initiate synchronization.
- Ensure the main unit and sensors are within the effective transmission range (up to 197ft/60m in open air).

4.3 Placement and Mounting
Consider the following for optimal placement:
- Main Display Unit: Place indoors in a central location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect readings. Use the integrated tabletop stand or the magnetic back for mounting on metallic surfaces.
- Remote Sensors:
- For outdoor use, place the sensor in a shaded area, protected from direct rain and sunlight, to ensure accurate readings and prolong battery life. Although waterproof, extreme conditions can impact performance.
- Mount using the integrated hanging hole, the upright stand, or the provided screws for wall mounting.
- Ensure sensors are within range of the main unit. Walls and obstacles can reduce transmission distance.
