3. Insert 3 x AAA batteries matching the correct polarity (+and-) (optional, for use without DC adapter).
4. Take out the metal stands in the battery compartment, assemble them to the metal stand holes (24).
5. Connect the adapter with the main unit (23) and a power outlet.
6. Close the battery compartment cover. The main unit can be placed on a horizontal surface using the metal stands (24) or it can be hung on a wall using the hanging hole (20).

SENSOR

1. Remove the battery compartment cover, chose the channel (1,2,3) using the channel switch (4).
2. Insert 2 x AA batteries matching the correct polarity (+ and -). The red led light (1) will flash once.
3. Close the battery compartment cover. The sensor can be hung on a wall using the hanging hole (3).

Remarks:

• Mount your sensor on a north-facing wall or in any shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail is preferred.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to the weather station is up to 50 meters in open air, not including walls or floors.
• Mount your sensor in a horizontal position, to allow moisture to drain out properly.

Keep out of direct sunlight & make sure the sensor is well ventilated.

OPERATION

• After connecting the main unit to the power (or installing the batteries), the unit is automatically turned ON. The main unit will start to detect indoor temperature / humidity.
• To receive signals from the remote sensor, both devices should be set to same channel. For example, if you have chosen channel 2 for the sensor, you should select channel 2 for the main unit as well. Select the desired channel for the main unit using the [CHANNEL] button at the back of the unit.
• When you have set both the weather station and the outdoor sensor to the same channel, you should keep the [CHANNEL] button pressed until you hear a beep and the 3 dashes on the display start to flash. The outdoor sensor and the weather station will now connect to each other, this can take up to 3 minutes.
• After connecting the main unit to the power (or installing the batteries), the unit is automatically turned ON. The main unit will start to detect indoor temperature / humidity.
• If no signal is received within 3 minutes, the receiving antenna signal will stop. Automatic signal re-synchronization will be activated the next hour until the signal is received and outdoor sensor data is displayed on the main unit.

Remarks:

• The weather station supports a connection with up to 3 sensors. Make sure each sensor is assigned to a different channel number. In standard mode, press the [CHANNEL] button to switch between the information of the 3 channels.
• The distance between main unit and transmitter should be at least 1.5~2 meters, away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. The main unit cannot stand close to metal window frames. Please do not use other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency.
