Setup

1. Battery Installation

1. Main Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert 2 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
2. Remote Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor. Insert 2 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

2. Synchronization

The main unit and remote sensor should automatically synchronize once batteries are installed. If synchronization fails or you are adding additional sensors, follow these steps:

• Place the main unit and remote sensor close to each other.
• Press and hold the CH/SYNC button on the main unit for 3 seconds. The display will flash, indicating it is searching for the sensor.
• Press the RESET button on the back of the remote sensor.
• The main unit should display the remote sensor's readings within a few minutes.

Note: The ThermoPro TP260B supports up to 3 remote sensors (sold separately). To add more sensors, repeat the synchronization process for each additional sensor, selecting a different channel (CH1, CH2, or CH3) on the main unit using the CH/SYNC button.

3. Placement Options

The main unit offers versatile placement options:

• Tabletop Stand: Use the integrated fold-out stand for desktop or shelf placement.
• Wall Mount: Utilize the hanging hole on the back to mount it on a wall.
• Built-in Magnet: Attach the unit to any metallic surface, such as a refrigerator.

For the remote sensor, choose a location that provides accurate readings and is within the 1000ft wireless range. Avoid direct sunlight or areas with extreme temperature fluctuations. The sensor is weatherproof, but placing it under an overhang or in a sheltered spot can prolong its lifespan.

Important Note: If you only replace the remote sensor battery, please press and hold the CH/SYNC button of the receiver for 3 seconds to re-register, or by reinstalling the battery of the receiver within 3 minutes and then they will automatically resynchronize the data.

2. Cleaning and Storage

Clean the unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners. Store the device in a dry place away from extreme temperatures when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• No readings on display or "---" shown:
  • Check if batteries are installed correctly with proper polarity.
  • Replace old batteries with new ones.
  • Ensure the main unit and sensor are within the 1000ft wireless range and free from major obstructions.
  • Perform a manual synchronization as described in the "Setup" section.
• Inaccurate readings:
  • Ensure the sensor is not placed in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with poor air circulation.
  • Allow the units to stabilize for at least 30 minutes after setup for accurate readings.
  • The 1000-ft range may be affected by obstructions in your home layout (including walls, router, trees, and bushes as well as building materials such as metal and glass). Try relocating the sensor or main unit.
• Display is dim or flickering:
  • Replace the batteries in the main unit.
