3. Ensure your indoor console is powered on. To enter pairing mode, long press the "+" button on the indoor console.
4. In the app, tap the "+" icon (usually in the top right corner) to add a new device.
5. The app will search for nearby devices. Once the Raddy PT-5 is detected, select it.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the floating sensor and indoor console with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the floating sensor, periodically check for algae or debris buildup and clean as necessary to ensure accurate readings and efficient solar charging.

• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid extreme temperatures. If storing the device for an extended period, ensure both units are partially charged (around 50%) and store them in a cool, dry place.
• Waterproofing: While the sensor is IPX8 waterproof, ensure the USB-C charging port cover is securely sealed before placing it in water.
