Before commissioning

NOTICE
Avoid connection faults!
In order to avoid connection problems between the devices, the following points must be observed during commissioning.

1. Place the base unit (receiver) and sensor (transmitter) as close together as possible.
2. Connect the power supply to the base unit and wait until the indoor temperature is displayed.
3. Establish power supply for the sensor.
4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.
5. Make sure that the base unit and the radio sensor are set to the same channel.

When changing the batteries, always remove the batteries from both the base unit and the sensor and reinsert them in the correct order so that the radio link can be re-established. If one of the two devices is operated via a mains power connection, the power connection must also be briefly disconnected for this device when the batteries are changed. If, for example, only the batteries in the sensor are replaced, the signal may subsequently not be received at all or not be received correctly.
Note that the actual range depends on the respective construction materials used for the buildings as well as the respective position of the base unit and the outdoor sensor. External influences (various radio transmitters and other sources of interference) can greatly reduce the possible range. In such cases, we recommend finding other locations for both the base unit and the outdoor sensor.
Sometimes moving the sensor by just a few centimeters is enough!

Power supply

Base unit

1. Insert the DC plug into the connection socket on the base unit.

2. Insert the Euro plug into the mains power socket.

3. The device is powered on directly.

4. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE! For permanent operation, mains power supply is recommended. Alternatively, operation using batteries is also possible to maintain the time setting in the event of a power failure. In battery operation, the station is set to power saving mode after 6 seconds and the display indication is deactivated. The display can be reactivated by pressing the snooze button.
   For battery operation, proceed as follows:

5. Remove the battery compartment cover.

6. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).

7. Replace the battery compartment cover.

8. Wait until indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
   NOTICE! When changing the type of power supply (mains power or batteries), the power supply is temporarily interrupted for technical reasons. All previously made settings will be lost.
   Wireless sensor

9. Remove the battery compartment cover.

10. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).
