4.2 Placement in Aquarium
The DaToo DT-01A thermometer is designed for external placement on the aquarium glass. It is not waterproof and must not be submerged in water. Attach the thermometer to the outside of your fish tank using its adhesive backing or suction cups (if included, not explicitly stated but common for external thermometers). Ensure the display is easily visible.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To clean the thermometer, simply wipe it with a clean, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
6.2 Charging
Recharge the thermometer when the battery indicator suggests low power or when the display becomes dim. Regular charging ensures continuous and accurate temperature monitoring.
7. Troubleshooting
- Thermometer not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to the charging cable and allow sufficient time for charging.
- Inaccurate temperature readings: Ensure the thermometer is placed correctly on the outside of the tank, allowing it to accurately sense the water temperature through the glass. Allow a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize after placement or significant water changes. If comparing with another thermometer, ensure both are calibrated and placed similarly.
- Display is dim or unresponsive: This may indicate a low battery. Recharge the device.
- Charging cable is too short: While the provided charging cable is compact, you can use any standard USB charging cable of appropriate length with a compatible power source (e.g., a longer phone charging cable or a portable power bank).
