1. Outdoor Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor. Insert 2 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Main Display Unit:
   • For continuous backlight: Connect the provided USB power cable to the DC 5V plug-in port on the main unit and plug the other end into a compatible USB power adapter (not included) or USB port.
   • For backup power: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert 3 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

3.2 Sensor Placement

Proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate readings.

• Place the outdoor sensor in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, which can cause artificially high temperature readings.
• Ensure the sensor is protected from direct rain and snow. An overhang or protective cover is recommended.
• Position the sensor within the wireless range of the main display unit (typically up to 100 feet/30 meters in open air). Walls and obstacles can reduce this range.
• Avoid placing the sensor near large metal objects, electrical appliances, or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

3.3 Initial Synchronization

After powering both units, the main display unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor.

• The outdoor temperature and humidity readings should appear on the main display within a few minutes.
• If the outdoor readings do not appear, ensure both units are within range and try re-inserting the batteries in the outdoor sensor. You may also press and hold the "UP.CH" button on the main unit to manually search for the sensor.
