2.3 DisplayConsoleSetUp
Note:Toavoidpermanentdamage,pleasetakenoteofthebatterypolaritybeforeinsertingthe
batteries.

Removethebatterydooronthebackofthedisplay.Insert2AAA1.5V(alkalineorlithium,avoid
rechargeable)batteriesinthebackofthedisplayconsole.

AlloftheLCDsegmentswilllightupforafewsecondstoverifyallsegmentsareoperatingproperly,
andtheunitwillbeep.

Replacethebatterydoor,andfoldoutthedeskstandandplacetheconsoleintheuprightposition.

Theconsolewillinstantlydisplayindoortemperature,andthedefaultdateandtime.The
thermometertransmitterwilldisplay‐‐,thenupdateremotetemperatureonthedisplaywithinafew
minutes.Donottouchanybuttonsuntiltheremotesensorreportsin,otherwisetheremotesensor
searchmodewillbeterminated,andyoumustpowerdownandpoweruptheconsoleagainby
removingbatteries.

Version1.4 Page6
Whentheremotesensordatahasbeenreceived,theconsolewillautomaticallyswitchtothenormal
mode,andallfurthersettingscanbeperformed.

Iftheremotedoesnotupdate,pleasereferencethetroubleshootingguideinSection7.

4.7 Maintenance
Werecommendinspectingthegasketinsidethelidofthefloatingthermometerwitheachbattery
change.Moistenwithpoolgasketlubricantavailablefrommostpoolstores.Inspectforanymoisture
insidethefloatingthermometer.Replacethegasketevery1year.
Toreplacethegasket,slidethegasketoverthefloatpotionofthefloatingthermometerandinsert
intothegasketguideonthelid.

7. TROUBLESHOOTINGGUIDE
ProblemSolution
Wirelessremotenotreportinginto
station.
‐Themaximumlineofsightcommunicationrangeis
100m.Movethedisplayconsoleclosertotheremote
sensor.
‐Cyclepoweronthestationbyremovingand
re‐insertingthebatteries.Thestationmayhaveexited
thesearchmode.
‐Installafreshsetofbatteriesintheremote
thermo‐hygrometer.Forcoldweatherenvironments,
installlithiumbatteries.
‐Makesuretheremotesensorsarenottransmitting
throughsolidmetal(actsasanRFshield),orearth
barrier(downahill).
‐Movethestationawayfromelectricalnoiseemitting
devices,suchascomputers,TVsandotherwireless
transmittersorreceivers.

‐RadioFrequency(RF)Sensorscannottransmitthrough
metalbarriers(example,aluminumsiding)ormultiple,
thickwalls.
DisplaystationcontrastisweakReplacestationbatterieswithafreshsetofbatteries.

Thisproductisnotatoy.Keepoutofthereachofchildren.
9. DETAILSANDPRECAUTIONSONTHEUSEOFBATTERIES
‐ Discardausedbatteryinnatureorgarbagepollutesandpreventstherecoveryofrecyclable
materials.
Itisthereforeimportanttolimitconsumptionofbatteriesandfollowtheseguidelines:
focusonalkalinebatteries(thatlastlongerthanthesalinebatteries)andwhenpossible,
rechargeablebatteries
depositbatteriesandaccumulatorsinspecificcontainersarrangedamongtraders.
Forexample,metalswillbevaluedandpollutedtheenvironmentbecausetheycontainheavymetals
hazardoustohealthandtheenvironmentprimarily(cadmiumandnickel)
‐Thepilesmustinstallationbyrespectingthepolarityindicatedontheapparatusandthepile.
Anincorrectpositioningcanistodamagetheapparatus,istocauseescapesonthelevelofthepile,is
totheextremetocauseafireortheexplosionofthepile.
‐To ensureproperoperation,thebatteriesmustbeingoodcondition.Incaseofabnormalityinthe
functioningofthedevice,putfreshbatteries
‐Neverattempttorechargenon‐rechargeablebatteries.Theycouldrun,warmup,causingafireor
explosion.
‐Replaceallbatteriesatthesametime.Nevermixzincbatterieswithalkalinebatteriesor
rechargeablebatteries
‐Thebatteriesmustberemovedfromthedevice
‐Also,removethebatteriesfromyourdeviceifyoudonotuseitforalongtime,ifthebatteriesmay
leakandcausedamage.
‐Nevertrytoshort‐circuitthebatteryterminals
‐Neverdisposeofbatteriesinfire,theymightexplode
‐Chargingofbatteriesistobeperformedbyanadult.
‐Removebatteriesfromthedevicebeforereloading.
‐Werecommendanadulttosupervisechildrenwhentheychangethebatteriessothatthese

Version1.4 Page12
instructionsarecompliedwithortomakehimselfthereplacementofbatteries.
‐Ifabatteryisswallowed,immediatelyconsultadoctororpoisoncontrolcenternearestyou.
Donotforgettocarrytheproductwithyou.
