Before commissioning

NOTICE Avoid connection faults!

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 a power supply for the sensor.
4. Set up/operate the base unit and sensor within the effective transmission range.

• 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

NOTICE! The base unit can be operated both with the supplied power adapter or with batteries.

Base unit

1. Press and hold the locking knob on the adapter fixture of the AC power adapter. At the same time, insert the desired plug adapter into the adapter fixture and turn it in as far as it will go in the “LOCK” direction. Release the locking knob.
2. Insert the DC barrel connector into the DC connection socket on the base unit.
   • ATTENTION! Make sure that the plug adapter is firmly and securely fastened in the adapter fixture of the AC power adapter before proceeding!
3. Insert the AC power adapter with the previously mounted plug into the power outlet.
4. The device is powered on directly.
5. Wait until the indoor temperature is displayed on the base unit.
6. To replace the plug adapter, hold down the locking knob and turn the plug adapter in the “OPEN” direction and remove it from the adapter holder. Then perform step 1 to mount another plug adapter.
   • NOTE: Alternatively, operation using batteries (LR03 AAA/LR03) is also possible.
   • The display goes into sleep mode during battery opera-tion and can be activated for approx. 15 Seconds by pressing the snooze button. To do this, proceed as follows:
7. Remove the battery compartment cover.
8. Insert batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the batteries are correctly aligned (+/- poles).
