3.1 Instal·lació de la bateria

Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately. Both the main unit and the outdoor sensor require batteries for operation.

1. Sensor exterior:
   • Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the outdoor sensor.

2. Unitat de visualització principal:
   • Obriu la tapa del compartiment de la bateria a la part posterior de la unitat principal.
   • Insert batteries (typically AAA or AA, refer to the unit's markings for exact type and quantity), ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
   • Tanqueu bé la tapa del compartiment de la bateria.

3.2 Sensor Pairing and Initial Synchronization

For optimal performance, always insert batteries into the outdoor sensor first, then into the main display unit. This ensures proper synchronization.

1. After inserting batteries into both units, the main display unit will automatically search for the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes.
2. Once connected, the outdoor temperature and humidity will appear on the main display. If the connection is not established, try pressing the "CH" button on the main unit to manually search for the sensor, or remove and reinsert batteries in both units.

3.3 Placement of the Outdoor Sensor

To ensure accurate readings and prolong the sensor's life:

• Place the sensor in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, which can cause artificially high temperature readings.
• Protect the sensor from direct rain and snow, even though it is designed to be waterproof. An overhang or protective cover is recommended.
• Ensure the sensor is within the effective transmission range (up to 100 meters in open air) of the main unit. Walls and other obstructions can reduce this range.
