How do I clean the radio?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use water, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners. Do not insert objects into the speaker grille.

Is the radio water resistant?

No, the Scott Trill is not water resistant. Keep it away from rain, splashes, and high humidity. If wet, remove batteries immediately and dry.

What should I do if the radio stops working?

First, check battery polarity and try fresh batteries. Inspect battery contacts for corrosion. If it still doesn’t work, contact Scott customer support.

Can I use a power adapter instead of batteries?

USING THE WEATHER STATION

Wireless temperature/humidity sensor

After installing the batteries, position the remote sensor outdoors no more than 15 metres from the main unit. It can be mounted in two different ways:

• Using the hanger slot at the back, hang the remote sensor on the wall with a screw.
- You can also insert the suction cup in the hanger slot and press the suction cup firmly against a window or other smooth surface.

Note:

- The building's construction materials and how the main unit and remote sensor are positioned can influence the transmission range.

- Extend and position the remote sensor RF transmission antenna wire so that it points to the main unit and minimize obstructions such as doors, walls, and furniture.

- It should not be exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow, and should not be placed near high power electrical appliances or inside strong magnetic fields.

Indoor/ Outdoor temperature/humidity indication

Press the 📂 button to display indoor ( 🔍) or outdoor ( 🔊 ) readings.

Hold down the M button to display temperature in Celsius (°C) or Fahrenheit (°F).

Outdoor

When batteries are installed, the remote sensor will transmit the outdoor temperature and humidity readings at two-minutes interval. The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the readings if the signal is good. The main unit will then automatically update readings every two minutes.

If no signal is received from the remote sensor after five minutes, the outdoor readings will not be displayed properly. You should place the remote sensor closer to the main unit or replace the batteries.

Weather station

The remote sensor detects humidity. An icon is displayed depending on the level of humidity (see table below).

Icons displayed Humidity range Weather
	19% - 40% RH Very dry
	41% - 65% RH Dry
	66% - 75% RH Mild
	76% - 91% RH Humid
