4. Setup

4.1. Battery Installation

For Remote Sensors (3 units):

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of each remote sensor.
2. Insert 2 x AAA batteries into each sensor, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Before closing the cover, select a channel (1, 2, or 3) for each sensor using the small switch inside the battery compartment. Ensure each sensor is set to a unique channel.
4. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

For Main Display Unit:

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit.
2. Insert 3 x AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-).
3. Alternatively, connect the provided USB power cable to the main unit and a suitable USB power adapter (not included).
4. Close the battery compartment cover.

The main unit will power on automatically once batteries are inserted or USB power is connected.

Figure 4.1: Battery Installation for Main Unit and Remote Sensor.

This image displays the open battery compartments for both the main display unit (requiring 3 AAA batteries) and a remote sensor (requiring 2 AAA batteries). The channel select switch and °C/°F switch within the sensor's compartment are also visible. Product dimensions are indicated.

4.2. Sensor Pairing

Once the main unit is powered on and batteries are installed in the sensors, the main unit will automatically search for and connect to the remote sensors. This process may take a few minutes. Ensure sensors are within range of the main unit during initial setup.

• If a sensor does not connect, press the "CHANNEL" button on the main unit to cycle through channels or press and hold the "CHANNEL" button to initiate a new search for all sensors.
• Ensure each sensor is set to a unique channel (1, 2, or 3) using the switch inside its battery compartment.

4.3. Placement

Main Display Unit:

• Place the main unit indoors in a central location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect readings.
• It can be placed on a tabletop using its integrated stand or mounted on a wall using the hanging hole on the back.

Remote Sensors:

• Place remote sensors in desired outdoor or indoor locations.
• For outdoor placement, choose a shaded area protected from direct rain and snow to ensure accuracy and prolong sensor life.
• Ensure sensors are within the effective transmission range of the main unit (up to 100m/328ft in open areas, 30m/98ft with obstacles).
• Each sensor can be placed on a flat surface or mounted to a wall using the provided base and hanging hole.
