4. Setup

4.1 Battery Installation

1. Main Unit: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert 3 x AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
2. Remote Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote sensor. Insert 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.

Note:

• Alkaline batteries are recommended for optimal performance. Avoid using high-performance or rechargeable batteries.
• Ensure batteries are inserted correctly to prevent damage to the device.

4.2 Remote Sensor Placement

Proper placement of the remote sensor is crucial for accurate readings and reliable wireless transmission.

• Mount the sensor vertically.
• Position the sensor at a height of 2 to 2.5 meters (approximately 6.5 to 8.2 feet) above the ground.
• Place the sensor away from direct sunlight to prevent inaccurate temperature readings.
• Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources (e.g., exhaust vents, heating units) or ventilation openings.
• Ensure the sensor is not placed near wireless devices that could interfere with wireless transmission (e.g., routers, TVs, microwaves, computers). The barrier-free transmission range is up to 80 meters.

4.3 Initial Setup and DCF Signal Reception

After battery installation, the main unit will power on and attempt to receive the DCF radio signal for automatic time synchronization.

• For the first use, place the main unit near a window to ensure better reception of the DCF signal.
• The time and calendar will update automatically once the signal is successfully received. This process may take several minutes.
• The main unit and remote sensor will automatically attempt to establish a connection. Ensure they are within range of each other.

5.5 Temperature and Humidity Display

• The display shows current indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity.
• Press the "CH" touch button to cycle through different outdoor sensor channels if multiple sensors are connected.
• Press the "MEM" touch button to view the maximum and minimum recorded temperature and humidity values. Press again to clear the records.
• Temperature tendency arrows indicate whether the temperature is rising, falling, or stable.
• The comfort level indicator (dry/comfortable/wet) provides a quick overview of indoor air conditions.

5.6 Multi-Sensor Usage

The weather station supports up to three remote sensors for monitoring temperature and humidity in multiple locations.

• Additional sensors (not included) can be purchased separately.
• Each sensor should be set to a different channel (1, 2, or 3) using the switch inside its battery compartment.
• The main unit will automatically detect and display data from all active sensors. Use the "CH" button to switch between sensor readings.

6. Maintenance

• Clean the device with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Avoid exposing the main unit to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or moisture.
• Replace batteries in both the main unit and remote sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display to ensure continuous operation and accurate readings.
• If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Display / Faint Display: Check battery installation and replace with fresh alkaline batteries if necessary.
• Incorrect Time: Ensure the main unit is placed near a window for better DCF signal reception. Allow time for synchronization. If manual time setting was used, verify the settings.
• No Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Reading:
  • Check batteries in the remote sensor.
  • Ensure the remote sensor is within the 80m transmission range and free from obstructions.
  • Verify that the remote sensor is not near interfering wireless devices (routers, TVs, etc.).
  • Re-establish connection: Remove batteries from both units, wait a few minutes, then reinsert batteries into the remote sensor first, then the main unit.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the remote sensor is placed away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or ventilation openings.
