BALDR G-250 Solar Floating Pool Thermometer User Manual
Model: G-250
Introduction
The BALDR G-250 Solar Floating Pool Thermometer is designed to provide accurate and easy-to-read temperature measurements for various water bodies such as swimming pools, hot tubs, cold plunges, and aquariums. This device features solar power for continuous operation and a clear digital display, offering convenience and reliability for monitoring water temperature.
Setup Instructions
- Initial Power-Up: The thermometer is solar-powered. Upon first use, ensure the solar panel is exposed to direct sunlight for a few hours to activate the internal battery. No manual battery installation is required.
- Temperature Unit Selection: The device typically defaults to Fahrenheit or Celsius. Refer to the small button on the underside or side of the unit (if present) to switch between °C and °F. Press and hold the button for a few seconds to toggle the unit.
- Placement: Gently place the thermometer into the water body you wish to monitor. The device is designed to float.
- Using the Tether: A nylon tether is included. Attach it to the designated loop on the thermometer and secure the other end to a fixed point (e.g., pool ladder, edge) to prevent the thermometer from drifting too far.

Operating Instructions
- Automatic Display: The thermometer automatically displays the water temperature on its digital LCD screen once placed in water and sufficiently charged.
- Reading Temperature: The large, one-sided LCD screen is designed for easy readability, even from a distance or at an angle.
- Temperature Updates: The device provides a temperature reading within 10 seconds of initial submersion and updates approximately every 60 seconds thereafter.
- Accuracy: The thermometer offers an accuracy of ±1.8°F (±1°C) within a range of -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C).
- Versatile Use: Suitable for swimming pools, hot tubs, cold plunges, aquariums, and ponds.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the thermometer clean with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Waterproof Integrity: The device features an IPX8 waterproof rating and is ultrasonically welded to prevent leakage, rust, and dirt buildup. Do not attempt to open the unit, as this may compromise its waterproof seal.
- Fogging Prevention: Built-in desiccant material helps prevent screen fogging. If fogging occurs, ensure the unit is exposed to sunlight to allow the desiccant to reactivate.
- Material Durability: Constructed from ABS+TPU food-grade material, the thermometer is shatterproof and UV-resistant, designed for long-term use in various water conditions.

Troubleshooting
- No Display or Faint Display:
- Ensure the solar panel has received sufficient sunlight to charge the internal battery. Place the thermometer in direct sunlight for several hours.
- Inaccurate Temperature Readings:
- Verify that the temperature probe (the lower part of the thermometer) is fully submerged in the water and not resting on the surface or against the pool wall. Allow sufficient time (at least 10 seconds) for the reading to stabilize.
- Screen Fogging:
- The thermometer has a built-in desiccant to prevent fogging. If fogging occurs, ensure the unit is exposed to sunlight, which helps reactivate the desiccant and clear the display. If persistent, contact customer support.
- Water Inside the Unit:
- The device is designed with IPX8 waterproofing. If water ingress is observed, the seal may be compromised. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. Contact customer support for assistance.
