GETTING STARTED
SOLAR PANEL
The solar panel is an energy saving feature, which is an environmentally
friendly way to provide additional power to the main unit and prolongs battery
life. However, it cannot replace battery power entirely.
INSERT BATTERIES

- Press RESET after each battery change.
REMOTE SENSOR
The main unit can collect data from up to 3 sensors.
To set up the sensor:
- Open the battery compartment.
- Insert the battery, matching the polarities.
- Select a channel. Press RESET after each battery change.
- Close the battery door.
- Place the sensor within 30 m (98 ft) of the main unit using the table stand or wall mount.
TIP Ideal placements for the sensor would be in any location on the exterior of the home at a height of not more than 1.5 m (5 ft) and which can shield it from direct sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.
NOTE Use alkaline batteries for longer usage and consumer grade lithium batteries in temperatures below freezing.
