5. Setup

5.1 Battery Installation

  1. Main Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert the specified alkaline batteries (e.g., 2x AA or AAA, refer to the compartment markings) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
  2. Outdoor Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor. Insert the specified alkaline batteries (e.g., 2x AA or AAA) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

5.2 Initial Synchronization

After inserting batteries, the main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor and receive the radio-controlled time signal. This process may take a few minutes.

  • Place the outdoor sensor within range (up to 100m in open field) of the main unit.
  • Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls, large metal objects) between the units that could interfere with the signal.
  • The outdoor temperature should appear on the main unit's display once connected.

5.3 Placement

  • Main Unit: Can be placed on a flat surface using its integrated stand or wall-mounted using the hanging hole on the back. Place it indoors, away from direct heat sources or air conditioning vents.
  • Outdoor Sensor: Can be placed on a flat surface or wall-mounted. For accurate readings, place it in a shaded area, protected from direct rain and sunlight. While splash-proof, excessive exposure to harsh weather conditions should be avoided.
