2. Initial Synchronization

After inserting batteries into both units, the main unit will automatically search for the outdoor transmitter signal. This may take a few minutes. Ensure both units are within range of each other (maximum 100m in open space, less with obstacles).

3. Outdoor Sensor Placement

For accurate readings, place the outdoor transmitter in a sheltered location, away from direct sunlight and precipitation. Avoid placing it near metal objects or large electrical appliances that could interfere with the wireless signal. An ideal location is under an eave or on a north-facing wall.
