TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION

The Solar Station can use either the included 2 x Alkaline rechargeable

batteries (charged by solar panel) or 2 x AA Alkaline batteries (non-

rechargeable; not included).

Important: the battery type selection (rechargeable or non-rechargeable)

must be made BEFORE inserting the battery into the compartment

otherwise it may cause damage to the station!

The included Alkaline rechargeable batteries should provide you with many

years of service.

If you choose to use non-rechargeable batteries, the battery switch MUST be

moved to the BATTERY position (not the SOLAR position). In this position, the

solar cells do not charge the batteries.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERY INSTALLED, THE BATTERY

SWITCH MUST BE IN THE BATTERY POSITION WHEN THE BATTERY IS

INSERTED.

If rechargeable batteries are used, the Battery switch should be moved to the

SOLAR position AFTER they have been inserted.

To use the included rechargeable Alkaline batteries (charged by solar

panel):

1. Remove the insulation tape.

2. Replace battery cover

3. Remove the black protective foil on the solar panel.

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

Battery cover

To use non-rechargeable Alkaline batteries:

1. Remove the included rechargeable AA batteries from the compartment.

2. Use the switch to select the Alkaline battery (see below).

3. Insert 2 x AA Alkaline batteries into the compartment, observing the

correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment.)

4. Replace battery cover

DO NOT SET THE CLOCK.

Note: For best performance, batteries should be replaced at least once every 2

years to maintain the best running accuracy. Ensure that the batteries used are

new and the correct size.

Please help in the preservation of the environment and return

used batteries to an authorized depot.

SETUP AFTER CHANGING/REPLACING THE BATTERIES IN THE

SOLAR STATION

1. First, press the reset button on the Solar Transmitter. All segments of the

LCD will light up briefly. The code number and the security code (for

example, “20”) will be displayed sequentially. Next, the batteries voltage

will be shown on the LCD, it should be higher than 2.4V in order to

maintain the normal operation. The current temperature/humidity will be

display on the transmitter, and the transmitter starts the transmission of

signal.

2. Within 2 minutes of the start up of transmitter, insert the batteries to the

Solar Station. Once the batteries of the Solar Station are in place, all

segments of the Solar Station’s LCD will light up briefly and the time

(00:00), date, indoor temperature will be displayed on the Solar Station. If

they are not shown in the LCD after 30 seconds, reinstall the batteries of

the Solar Station again. Once the indoor data is displayed, the Solar

Station will start receiving the outdoor data.

3. The outdoor temperature and humidity data should then be displayed on

the Solar Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will

need to be removed from the display and reset from step 1.

4. In order to ensure better reception and transmission, the distance

between the Solar Station and the transmitter should not be more than

100m to ensure sufficient 868 MHz transmission. (see notes on

“Positioning” and “868 MHz Reception”).

Note: When changing the batteries:

1. Be careful that they do not spring free from the contacts.

2. Press any button 20 times with the batteries removed.

3. Always wait at least 10 minutes after removing batteries before re-

inserting; otherwise start up problems may occur.
