Placement Guidelines
- Main Unit: Place the main unit indoors in a central location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect temperature readings. Ensure it is within the 200-foot wireless range of the remote sensor.
- Remote Sensor: Mount the remote sensor outdoors in a shaded area, protected from direct rain and sunlight. This ensures accurate outdoor temperature and humidity readings. Avoid placing it near metal objects or large electrical appliances that could interfere with the wireless signal.


Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe both units 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. Ensure correct battery type and polarity.
- Storage: If storing the device for an extended period, remove all batteries to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| No outdoor reading on main unit | Ensure remote sensor batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Verify the sensor is within range (up to 200 feet) and not obstructed by large metal objects. Re-synchronize by removing batteries from both units, then reinserting them first into the remote sensor, then the main unit. |
| Inaccurate temperature/humidity | Ensure units are not in direct sunlight, near heat/cold sources, or in areas with extreme drafts. Allow 20-30 minutes for readings to stabilize after initial setup or relocation. |
| Display is dim or blank | Replace batteries in the main unit. If using the adapter, ensure it is securely connected and the power source is active. |
