5. Setup

5.1. Battery Installation

1. Outdoor Sensor: Open the battery compartment on the back of the wireless outdoor sensor. Insert 2 x 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Main Unit (Backup): Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit (refer to Figure 4.3). Insert 2 x 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). These batteries serve as a backup in case of power outage. Close the compartment.

5.2. Powering On the Main Unit

Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input port on the back of the main unit and then plug it into a wall outlet. The display will light up permanently. The backup batteries will ensure settings are retained if the power adapter is disconnected.

5.3. Sensor Synchronization

Once both the sensor and main unit are powered, the main unit will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes. The outdoor temperature and humidity readings will appear on the main unit's display once connected. If synchronization fails, press and hold the "CH" button on the main unit to initiate a manual search for the sensor.

5.4. Sensor Placement

Place the outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and rain, but within the 100m wireless range of the main unit. Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electrical appliances that could interfere with the signal. The sensor can be placed on a flat surface or mounted to a wall using the integrated hanging hole.

6.5. Weather Forecast

The weather station predicts weather conditions for the next 12-24 hours based on atmospheric pressure changes. The animated symbols (e.g., sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy, snowy) indicate the forecast. This is a prediction and may not always be 100% accurate.

6.6. Moon Phase Display

The moon phase icon on the display changes to reflect the current lunar phase.

The device features a temperature alarm and a freeze alarm. When the outdoor temperature drops to a certain threshold (typically near freezing point), a special icon or sound may activate to warn of potential frost conditions. Refer to the specific settings menu (usually accessed via "SET" or "ALARM" button in conjunction with "UP"/"DOWN") to configure these thresholds.

6.8. Battery Status Indicator

Battery icons on the display will indicate the battery status for both the main unit (backup) and the outdoor sensor. Replace batteries promptly when the low battery indicator appears to ensure continuous operation.
