5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Display and Backlight

• The main unit features a 5-inch large color HD display.
• When powered by the USB cable, the backlight can remain continuously on, and its brightness is adjustable (3 levels).
• When powered by batteries only, the screen will light up for 10 seconds after pressing the SNZ/LIGHT button to conserve power.

5.2 Temperature and Humidity Display

• The display shows real-time indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity.
• Temperature units can be switched between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F). Refer to the specific button on the back of the unit for this function.
• The unit records and displays the maximum and minimum temperature and humidity values over the past 24 hours.

5.3 Alarm Clock Function

• The weather station includes an alarm clock with a 5-minute snooze function.
• To activate the snooze function, touch the SNZ/LIGHT button on the top of the unit when the alarm sounds.
• To turn off the alarm, press any other button on the back of the unit.

5.4 USB Charging Port

• The main unit features a built-in USB port (Output: 5V/1A) for charging compatible devices.

6. Important Considerations for Sensor Placement

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

• Transmission Range: The sensor supports wireless transmission up to 200 feet (60 meters) in an open area. Walls, metal structures, and other obstructions can reduce this range.
• Mounting: Mount the sensor vertically for best performance.
• Protection from Elements: Place the sensor in a location that avoids direct sunlight and rain. An ideal location is under an eave, porch, or other sheltered area.
• Interference: Keep the sensor at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from electronic devices that may cause interference.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your weather station, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No outdoor reading on the main unit:
  • Ensure both the main unit and remote sensor have fresh batteries or are properly powered.
  • Verify the remote sensor is within the 200ft (60m) transmission range and free from major obstructions.
  • Confirm the channel selected on the remote sensor matches the main unit's setting (if applicable, refer to main unit's specific instructions for channel selection).
  • Try bringing the sensor closer to the main unit to re-establish connection.
• Inaccurate readings:
  • Ensure the remote sensor is not in direct sunlight or exposed to rain, which can affect temperature and humidity readings.
  • Place the sensor away from heat sources (e.g., vents, appliances) or cold sources.
  • Allow both units to stabilize for at least 30 minutes after setup, as initial readings may fluctuate.
• Display is dim or not lighting up:
  • If using batteries, the backlight only stays on for 10 seconds. For continuous backlight, connect the USB cable.
  • Check battery levels and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected if using external power.

9. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Geevon Weather Station:

• Clean the display and unit surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not expose the main unit to water or extreme temperatures.
• Regularly check and replace batteries in both units when the low battery indicator appears.
• Ensure the remote sensor remains protected from direct weather elements.
