4. Operating Instructions

Using your BALDR Floating Pool Thermometer is straightforward:

1. Automatic Operation: The thermometer continuously measures and displays the water temperature as long as it is in the water and exposed to light for charging.
2. Reading Temperature: The digital display will show the current water temperature. Ensure the display is facing upwards for optimal readability.
3. Solar Charging: For continuous operation, ensure the thermometer's solar panel is exposed to sunlight. The device will automatically recharge its internal battery.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your thermometer, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the thermometer's surface, especially the solar panel and display screen, with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt, debris, or mineral buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: During off-season or extended periods of non-use, store the thermometer in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is clean and dry before storage.
• Water Exposure: While IPX8 waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme chemicals or highly corrosive water may affect its lifespan.
• Sensor Protection: Avoid physical impact to the sensor probe located at the bottom of the device to maintain accuracy.
