6. Placement Guidelines

6.1 Main Unit Placement

Place the main unit indoors in a location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect its indoor temperature reading. It can be placed on a desktop using its integrated stand or mounted on a wall using the hanging hole.

6.2 Outdoor Sensor Placement

For accurate outdoor temperature readings, place the wireless sensor in a shaded area, protected from direct sunlight and precipitation. Ensure it is within the 200ft/60m wireless range of the main unit. Avoid placing it near heat-emitting devices or reflective surfaces.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the thermometer and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries in both units when the low battery indicator appears on the display. For outdoor sensors in cold climates, lithium batteries are recommended for better performance.
• Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Outdoor Temperature Reading:
  • Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power in both units.
  • Ensure the outdoor sensor is within range of the main unit.
  • Try re-pairing the sensor (refer to Section 4.2).
  • Ensure no strong electromagnetic interference sources are nearby.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings:
  • Relocate the sensor away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or reflective surfaces.
  • Ensure the main unit is not near heat vents or direct sunlight.
  • Allow both units to stabilize for 15-30 minutes after initial setup or relocation.
• Display is Faint or Blank:
  • Replace batteries in the main unit.
  • Check for proper battery installation.
