4.1. Түзмөктөрдү электр менен камсыздоо

1. Тышкы сенсор: Open the battery compartment on the back of the thermal hygrotransmitter. Insert 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Негизги бирдиги:
   • Батареянын иштеши: Open the battery compartment on the back of the base unit. Insert 3 x 1.5 V AAA batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment. In battery mode, the display backlight will activate briefly when a button is pressed.
   • Mains Power Operation: Connect the provided mains power adapter to the DC input port on the base unit and plug it into a power outlet. When powered by the adapter, the display backlight can be permanently activated and adjusted to two brightness levels. The display can also be switched off completely.

4.2. Сенсордун жайгашуусу

For accurate outdoor temperature and humidity readings, place the wireless outdoor sensor in a location that is:

• Түз күндүн нурунан алыс.
• Protected from direct rain and snow.
• Жакшы желдетилген.
• Within the maximum transmission range of 60 meters from the base unit. Avoid large metal objects or thick walls between the sensor and the base unit, as these can interfere with the signal.

4.3. Initial Synchronization and Radio-Controlled Clock

Once both the base unit and outdoor sensor are powered on, they will automatically attempt to synchronize. The outdoor temperature and humidity should appear on the base unit's display within a few minutes. The base unit will also automatically search for the DCF 77 radio signal to set the time and date. This process may take several minutes or hours depending on your location and signal strength.

If the radio-controlled clock does not set automatically, you may need to manually set the time or adjust the time zone. Refer to the operating instructions for manual time setting.
