▶ Make sure the polarity is correct when in-
serting the batteries! Only use batteries of
the same type. Drained batteries must be re-
moved from the device immediately. Remove
batteries from the device if it is not used for a
longer period of time.
Increased risk of leakage!Increased risk of leakage!
▶ The device is not a toy! Do not allow children to
play with it. Never leave the packaging material
lying around unattended. Plastic film and small
parts may pose a danger to children.
▶ Store small cells and batteries which could be
swallowed out of the reach of children. Swal-
lowing can result in burns, perforation of the
soft tissue and death. Severe burns can occur
within 2 hours after swallowing. In the event
that a cell or battery is swallowed, seek medi-
cal assistance immediately.
▶ When remotely or automatically controlling a
device, it is not always possible to guarantee
that commands are actually executed or that
the correct device status is displayed in the
app and on other Smart Home display devices
because of external circumstances. This may
lead to material damage and/or personal in-
jury. Therefore, you must ensure to the great-
est extent possible that no person is endan-
gered at the time of remote operation or auto-
mated control. Please take special care when
setting up or adjusting the remote control or
when using the automated control and check
the desired functionality at regular intervals.
▶ Do not open up the device. It does not con-
tain any parts to be maintained by the user. If a
fault occurs, have the device checked by a spe-
cialist.

▶ We accept no liability for material damage or
personal injury which is caused by improper
use or failure to observe the safety instruc-
tions. In these cases, any guarantee claim be-
comes void! We accept no liability for conse-
quential damage.
▶ This device may be used by children from 8
years of age and by persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capacities, or a
lack of experience and knowledge provided
these persons are supervised or have been in-
structed in the safe use of the device, and un-
derstand the corresponding risks.
▶ For safety and approval reasons (CE/UKCA),
the device may not be modified and/or no
changes may be made to the device without
authorisation.
▶ Any use other than that which is described in
the user manual is considered improper and
leads to the exclusion of guarantee and liabil-
ity.
▶ Do not use the device if it has damage visible
from the outside, for example, to the housing,
to control or connection elements, or if it has
a malfunction. If in doubt, please contact our
service team.
▶ Only operate the device indoors and do not ex-
pose it to moisture, vibrations, extreme cold
temperatures and mechanical stress.
▶ Only operate the device in dry and dust-free
environments without direct sunlight.
▶ Only use the device together with original com-
ponents and recommended products from
Bosch partners.

Notes
▶ The range within buildings can differ signifi-
cantly from the range in open spaces. In addi-
tion to the transmitting power and the receiv-
ing properties of the receiver, environmental
factors such as humidity, as well as the local
structural situation, play an important role.
▶ The device is only suitable for use in residen-
tial environments.
▶ The device is only intended for private use.
▶ Please note that room temperature control via
the radiator thermostat is designed for a dou-
ble-pipe pressurised heating system with a
flow and return pipe per radiator. Use in sin-
gle-pipe heating systems may result is signifi-
cant differences from the temperature which is
set owing to fluctuations in the flow tempera-
ture.

Mounting instructions
Property damage owing to defective heat-
ing system!
Mounting of the product on defective heat-
ing systems may result in damage to the
product itself (e.g. owing to leaking hot wa-
ter). Have an expert repair damage to the
valves or to the heating system. Observe
the maintenance intervals for your heating
system including valves.
The device displays errors with a need for
action in the display area (3). For an over-
view of possible error codes, see:

The standards and directives applicable in
your country must be observed during plan-
ning, set-up, operation and maintenance.
In the event of visible damage to the exist-
ing thermostat, to the valve or to the heat-
ing pipes, please consult an expert.
Take care not to catch your fingers when
screwing on the adapter!

Mounting of the radiator thermostat is simple
and can be done without draining the heating
water or interfering with the heating system.
Special tools or switching off the heating are
not required.
For some heating models, you need one of the
adapters supplied or you need to purchase a
specific adapter from a shop. For a detailed
list of compatible radiator valves and informa-
tion on required adapters, see:
