4. Opstelgids
4.1. Powering the Base Station
Connect the provided power adapter to the DC 4.5V port on the back of the base station and plug it into a standard power outlet. The display will light up. For backup power during outages, insert 4 x AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the underside of the base station, ensuring correct polarity.
4.2. Installering van die buitesensor
The outdoor sensor requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the sensor and insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity. Close the compartment securely. Place the outdoor sensor in a sheltered location outdoors, away from direct sunlight and rain, to ensure accurate readings and prolong its lifespan. Ensure it is within 80 meters of the base station and free from major obstructions.

4.3. Aanvanklike Sinchronisasie
Once both the base station and the outdoor sensor are powered, the base station will automatically attempt to connect with the outdoor sensor and receive the DCF time signal. This process may take a few minutes. Ensure both units are close to each other during initial setup. If synchronization fails, refer to the Troubleshooting section for assistance.

5.3. Stel alarms in
The device supports two independent alarms. Locate the 'ALARM1' and 'ALARM2' switches on the back of the unit. Set the desired alarm times by pressing the corresponding 'ALARM' button and using the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the hour and minute. Press the 'ALARM' button again to confirm. When an alarm sounds, press the 'SNOOZE' button to temporarily silence it for a few minutes, or any other button to turn it off completely.

5.4. Gebruik die projeksiekenmerk
The integrated projector can display the current time and indoor/outdoor temperature onto a wall or ceiling. To activate the projection, ensure the 'Projection' switch on the back of the unit is set to 'ON'. Adjust the projection angle by rotating the projector arm. Use the focus ring on the projector lens to achieve a clear image on your desired surface.

5.5. Viewing Max/Min waardes
Press the 'MAX/MIN' button on the top of the unit to cycle through the maximum and minimum recorded values for indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, indoor humidity, and outdoor humidity. Pressing the button repeatedly will show each value in sequence.
6. Onderhoud
- Skoonmaak: Wipe the device and sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or corrosive chemicals, as these can damage the surfaces and internal components.
- Battery vervanging: Replace batteries in both the base station and outdoor sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Always replace all batteries in a unit at the same time with new ones of the same type.
- Plasing: Ensure the outdoor sensor remains in a sheltered location to protect it from extreme weather conditions and prolong its lifespan, while also maintaining accurate readings.
