Installation

Open the battery compartment cover. Insert 2 x AAA batteries into the main unit, and insert 2 x AA batteries into the transmitter according to the correct polarity shown in the compartment. (Batteries are included) We recommend using high-quality alkaline batteries for the best product performance. Heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. The display will turn off in case of battery power exhaustion. (Fresh battery using life time: 6 months for the main unit, 12 months for the outdoor wireless transmitter, reference only, not warranty)

Receive signal from outdoor wireless transmitter.
The main unit can detect and receive the outdoor temperature and humidity wireless signal from the transmitter automatically after the power is set to ready. It will take 3 minutes for signal searching. The wireless symbol(nearby channel on display) will flash on display during searching, and becomes stable after getting the signal. If there is no available signal to be received, the wireless symbol will disappear after 3 minutes, and outdoor temperature and humidity data will show “ – – “ on the display. In case you need to reconnect the wireless signal, please press and hold the up button for 3 seconds.

Placement and important notes:

1. The main unit is able to work and connect with 3 outdoor wireless transmitters. Open up the battery door of the outdoor wireless transmitter can see and adjust the channel(including 3 channels). It requires setting up in the same channel as the main unit for signal receiving. For example, you select channel 1 at the wireless transmitter, then the channel display of the main unit should show CH1 for connection. Pressing the up button on the rear panel of the main unit can adjust the channel number and check the outdoor data between CH1-3 on the display. You
   can take the same method to connect other wireless transmitters, but please set them on different channels. Only one wireless transmitter is included in the package.

Temperature trend
The temperature trend arrow (nearby temperature data) points in different directions depending on whether the latest temperature reading is higher or lower than previous readings. Arrow angled upwards=Temperature rose 1℃ in the past 1 hour. Arrow in straight =Temperature changed less than 1℃ in the past 1 hour. Arrow angled downwards=Temperature fell off 1℃ in the past 1 hour.

Weather forecast
The weather forecast is based on collected hourly temperature & humidity data from the
outdoor sensor CH1. The forecast station predicts weather conditions for the next 12 hours 7 with 70-75% accuracy. The default weather icon is partly cloudy. The base station will calibrate the weather report in the first 1-2 weeks based on the outdoor temperature and humidity data. The outdoor wireless transmitter CH1 should be placed outside to get accurate outdoor data, or it will affect the accuracy of the weather forecast.
The weather forecast will appear in one of the following combinations (reference only):

Please note that the device forecasts the weather based on limited parameters and may
differ from official weather forecasts, which are calculated based on advanced
algorithms.

Backlight and auto dim
When powered by batteries, press the top backlight/snooze button to turn on the backlight. The backlight will last 20 seconds and auto off.
