Setup Instructions

1. Main Display Unit Setup

Power Connection: Connect the provided USB power cable to the main display unit and plug the other end into a suitable USB power adapter (not included) or a powered USB port. The unit will power on and the display will illuminate.
Initial Settings: Upon first power-up, the unit may prompt you to set the time, date, and measurement units (Celsius/Fahrenheit). Use the control buttons (typically located on the back or side) to adjust these settings. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' section for detailed button functions.

2. Wireless Outdoor Sensor Unit Setup

Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor unit. Insert 2x AAA batteries (not included), ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
Placement: Position the outdoor sensor in a shaded area, protected from direct sunlight and rain, to ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings. Ensure it is within 100 meters of the main display unit and free from major obstructions that could interfere with the wireless signal.
Pairing: The outdoor sensor should automatically pair with the main display unit within a few minutes. If the outdoor readings do not appear, press the 'SYNC' or 'CHANNEL' button on the main unit (refer to specific button layout) to initiate a manual search for the sensor.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe the display unit and outdoor sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surfaces.
Battery Replacement (Outdoor Sensor): When the battery indicator on the main display shows low battery for the outdoor sensor, replace the batteries promptly to ensure continuous data transmission. Use fresh AAA batteries.
Placement Check: Periodically check the outdoor sensor's placement to ensure it remains protected from extreme weather and maintains a clear signal path to the main unit.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No display on main unit.	Power cable not connected or faulty.	Ensure USB power cable is securely connected and power adapter is working.
Outdoor temperature/humidity not displayed.	Outdoor sensor batteries low or dead; sensor out of range; interference; sensor not paired.	Replace sensor batteries. Move sensor closer to main unit. Reduce interference sources. Manually re-pair sensor (refer to 'Setup Instructions').
Inaccurate outdoor readings.	Sensor exposed to direct sunlight or rain.	Relocate sensor to a shaded, protected area.
Weather forecast seems incorrect.	Forecast is based on local atmospheric pressure changes, not satellite data.	Understand that the forecast is a local prediction and may not always match official forecasts. Allow time for the unit to calibrate.
