2. Setup Guide

2.1 Unpacking and Powering On

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Main Unit: Connect the supplied AC power adapter to the main unit and plug it into a power outlet. The unit also has a built-in cell battery to retain settings during power outages, but it does not power the device for daily operation.
3. Remote Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor and insert 2 AA batteries (not included), observing polarity. Close the compartment securely.

2.2 Initial Synchronization

Once both units are powered, the main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the remote sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Ensure the sensor is within range of the main unit during initial setup.

2.3 Time and Date Setting (Atomic Clock)

The atomic clock feature automatically adjusts the time and date. You may need to set your time zone manually:

1. Refer to the specific buttons on your device (usually labeled 'SET' or 'MODE') to enter time setting mode.
2. Adjust the time zone according to your location.
3. Confirm settings to exit.

2.4 Sensor Placement

For accurate readings, consider the following:

• Main Unit: Place the main unit indoors on a flat surface or mount it on a wall. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Remote Sensor: Place the remote sensor outdoors in a shaded area, protected from direct rain and sunlight, to ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings. The wireless range is up to 328 feet (100m) in open air.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

• Remote Sensor: When the low battery indicator appears for the sensor, replace the 2 AA batteries. Ensure correct polarity.
• Main Unit: The main unit uses an AC adapter for primary power. The internal cell battery is for backup settings only and typically does not require user replacement.

4.2 Cleaning

• Wipe the display and unit surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

4.3 Environmental Considerations

• Avoid placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight or areas with extreme temperature fluctuations for prolonged periods.
• Ensure the main unit is kept in a dry, indoor environment.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Inaccurate Readings

• Outdoor Temperature/Humidity: Ensure the remote sensor is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources or moisture.
• Indoor Temperature/Humidity: Verify the main unit is not near heat-emitting appliances, direct sunlight, or drafts.
• Comparison: Allow up to 30 minutes for readings to stabilize after initial setup or relocation.

5.2 Sensor Not Connecting

• Check Batteries: Replace batteries in the remote sensor.
• Range: Ensure the sensor is within the 328ft (100m) wireless range of the main unit, free from major obstructions.
• Re-synchronize: Power off both the main unit and the sensor. Power on the main unit first, then the sensor. This may force a re-synchronization.
• Interference: Move the units away from other electronic devices that might cause interference.

5.3 Time Display Issues

• Time Zone: Double-check that the correct time zone is selected for your region.
• Atomic Signal: Ensure the main unit is in a location where it can receive the atomic time signal. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or in basements.
