4. Installation
4.1 Alimentation des unités
- Capteur extérieur sans fil : Open the battery compartment on the back of the sensor. Insert 2x AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment.
- Unité principale : Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit. Insert 3x AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. For continuous display and backlight, connect the provided DC 5V power adapter to the power jack on the back of the main unit and plug it into a wall outlet.
4.2 Emplacement du capteur
Place the wireless outdoor sensor in a shaded, dry location away from direct sunlight and precipitation to ensure accurate readings. Ensure it is within the transmission range of the main unit (typically up to 60 meters in open air). Avoid placing it near large metal objects or electronic devices that could interfere with the signal.
Figure 5 : Example placement of the main unit indoors and the wireless sensor outdoors (or in a suitable location like a balcony or window sill) to ensure optimal signal reception.
4.3 Synchronisation initiale
Once both units are powered on, the main unit will automatically search for and connect to the outdoor sensor. This may take a few minutes. The outdoor temperature and humidity readings will appear on the main unit's display once connected. If synchronization fails, ensure both units are within range and try re-inserting batteries in both units.

7. Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Aucun affichage sur l'unité principale | Les piles sont déchargées ou mal insérées ; l’adaptateur secteur n’est pas connecté ou est défectueux. | Vérifiez la polarité de la pile et remplacez-la si nécessaire. Assurez-vous que l'adaptateur secteur est correctement branché et fonctionnel. |
| Température/humidité extérieure non affichée ou inexacte | Sensor out of range; Low sensor battery; Interference; Sensor exposed to direct elements. | Move sensor closer to the main unit. Replace sensor batteries. Relocate sensor away from electronic interference. Place sensor in a shaded, dry area. |
| Prévisions météorologiques inexactes | Forecast is a prediction based on barometric pressure changes, not real-time observation. | Understand that the forecast is an estimation. Allow 24-48 hours for the station to calibrate after initial setup. |
| Date/Heure incorrecte | Manual setting error; RCC signal not received. | Manually set time and date as per instructions. Ensure the unit is placed where it can receive RCC signal (if applicable). |
