Setup Instructions
1. Battery Installation
For the Main Display Unit:
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the main unit.
- Insert 3 x AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover.
For the Wireless Remote Sensor:
- Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote sensor.
- Insert 2 x AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover.
Important: Always install batteries in the main unit first, then in the remote sensor.
2. Sensor Pairing
The main unit and remote sensor should pair automatically once batteries are installed. If pairing does not occur:
- Ensure both units have fresh batteries.
- Bring the remote sensor close to the main unit.
- On the main unit, press and hold the "CHANNEL" button (if available, or a similar pairing button) to initiate a search for the sensor.
- On the remote sensor, press the "RESET" button (usually a small pinhole button) to force a signal transmission.
- The outdoor temperature and humidity should appear on the main unit's display.

3. Placement Guidelines
Main Display Unit:
- Place indoors, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts that could affect readings.
- Ensure it is within the 330ft wireless range of the remote sensor.
Wireless Remote Sensor:
- Mount in a shaded, dry location outdoors to ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings. Avoid direct sunlight and rain.
- Ensure it is within the 330ft wireless range of the main unit.
- Avoid placing near large metal objects or electrical appliances that may interfere with the wireless signal.

Operating Instructions
Display Overview
Image: Annotated display of the BAYGA THM201-BA-OR main unit, showing outdoor temperature & humidity, sensor channel, weather forecast, outdoor index (mold, heat, dew point), and indoor temperature & humidity.
- Outdoor Temperature & Humidity: Displays current readings from the remote sensor.
- Sensor Channel: Indicates which remote sensor is currently displayed (if multiple are used).
- Weather Forecast: Graphical representation of anticipated weather conditions.
- Outdoor Index: Shows Mold Index, Heat Index, and Dew Point.
- Indoor Temperature & Humidity: Displays current readings from the main unit's internal sensor.
Button Functions
Refer to the main unit for specific button labels. Common buttons include:
- LIGHT/SNOOZE: Activates the backlight for 10 seconds.
- CHANNEL: Cycles through connected remote sensors (if more than one) or initiates sensor search.
- °C/°F: Toggles between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature display.
- MAX/MIN: Displays maximum and minimum recorded temperature/humidity values. Press again to clear.
Understanding Environmental Indices
- Mold Index: Indicates the risk of mold growth based on temperature and humidity. "LOW" suggests low risk, "HIGH" suggests high risk.
- Heat Index: Measures how hot it feels when relative humidity is combined with air temperature.
- Dew Point: The temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor and dew begins to form.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the display unit and sensor with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries at once with new ones.
- Sensor Protection: Ensure the remote sensor is protected from direct heavy rain and prolonged direct sunlight to maximize its lifespan and accuracy.
