The solar-powered temperature transmitter uses solar cells to charge the rechargeable
batteries (2 x AAA rechargeable batteries; included).
The rechargeable batteries cannot be replaced.
SOLAR TRANSMITTER OPERATION MODES
Important:
Users need to press the reset key to activate the solar transmitter and link the
transmission to the Solar Station (receiver).
It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while activ ating the solar transmitter.
Make sure the lights are on in the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or
brighter - do not cover with hands or other objects.
Solar transmitter RESET key:
RESET key
Note: only use a small pointed pen to
press the RESET key to re-active the
transmitter into Normal Operation Mode.
The solar transmitter has 3 operations modes:
Normal Operation Mode:
This mode occurs when the battery voltage is higher than 2.5V.
The transmitter will measure and transmit the temperature and humidity data to the Solar
Station every 8 seconds.
The environment brightness is checked every 5 seconds
If a dark environment is detected, it will measure and transmit the temperature every 16s.
If the battery voltage is dropped lower than 2.8V, it will measure and transmit the
temperature every 16s
If battery voltage is dropped lower than 2.4V, will go into Idle mode.

If the solar transmitter is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours, will goes into Stop
mode.
If the user cover the solar cell for 10 seconds and press the reset button, "StP" will be
displayed on the LCD. Then the transmitter enters STOP mode.
Idle Operation Mode:
This mode occurs when the battery voltage drops lower than 2.4V.
LCD is turned off.
Does not perform temperature measurement and transmission.
The environment brightness is checked every 5 seconds.
If battery voltage is raised higher than 2.5V, the unit will go into Normal mode.
If the solar transmitter is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours, the will go into Stop
mode.
Stop Operation Mode:
This mode occurs when the solar transmitter is placed into a dark environment for 72 hours
or the user covers the solar cell for 10 seconds and presses the RESET button.
The transmitter is in a standby state. The does not perform any operations and the LCD is
off.
Under a bright condition, press the reset button to wake up the transmitter into normal
operation mode (battery voltage is higher than 2.5V).
This is the most power saving mode.
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; included) or 2 x AA alkaline battery (non-rechargeable; not included).
INITIAL SETUP
It is very important to follow these steps:
1. First, remove the label covering over the battery compartment on the back.

TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERIES
The included alkaline rechargeable batteries should provide you with many years of service. If
your batteries need to be replaced, we suggest you use 2 fully charged the AA Alkaline.
Rechargeable batteries should be fully charged before inserting into clock. Alkaline
rechargeable batteries must be used.
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 BATTERIES INSTALLED, THE BATTERY SWITCH MUST
BE IN THE BATTERY POSITION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED.
If rechargeable batteries are used, the Battery switch should be moved to the SOLAR position
AFTER it is has been inserted.
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 the batteries into the compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside
battery compartment.
4. Replace battery cover
