3. Setup
3.1 Battery Installation
- Main Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main display unit. Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
- Remote Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor. Insert 2 AA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
Note: It is recommended to install batteries in the remote sensor first, then in the main unit, to facilitate immediate pairing.
3.2 Sensor Placement
Place the remote sensor in your desired outdoor location. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight and heavy precipitation for accurate readings and extended lifespan. The maximum transmission distance is 328 ft (100m) in an open area. Walls and other obstructions may reduce this range.
Image 3.1: The indoor station and outdoor remote sensor should be placed within 328 feet (100m) for optimal wireless transmission.
3.3 Initial Pairing
After installing batteries in both units, the main display unit will automatically search for the remote sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity readings should appear on the display within a few minutes. If readings do not appear, ensure both units are within range and try re-inserting batteries.

5. Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both the main unit and remote sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries at the same time with new ones of the same type.
- Cleaning: Clean the display unit and sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the plastic components or screen.
- Environmental Considerations: Ensure the outdoor sensor is placed in a location that minimizes exposure to extreme weather conditions (e.g., direct heavy rain, prolonged direct sunlight, extreme cold). While designed for outdoor use, protection can extend its lifespan and accuracy.
