• Caution: The solar panel is very damageable. Do not drop the device and avoid collisions or vibration.

• Do not expose the device to extreme tempera- tures, vibrations or shocks.

• Due to the heat emission (depending on insula- tion) and the protected location of your window it is possible that the temperature displayed is high- er than the outdoor temperature at a free un- sheltered location directly over the ground.

• Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement.

5. Care and maintenance

• For a very good function keep the solar panel always clean. Clean it with a soft cloth and maybe a little glass- or display cleaner. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.

• Remove the batteries if you do not use the pro- duct for a long period of time.

5.1 Battery replacement

• Change the battery, when the functions of the instrument become weak.

• Insert a new battery 1,5 V AAA (right: for the general function 1 x 1.5 V AAA) in the battery compartment. Make sure that the polarity is cor- rect (marking on the battery compartment cover).

4.6 Temperature probe

• The black pin is the temperature probe. Please take care of it and do not break it. The tempera- ture probe has no adjusting function. It only measures the temperature.

• The supplied battery will be recharged in an envi- ronmentally friendly manner by the solar cells.

• Please consider when choosing a location that the solar panel needs at least 8 - 10 hours of light per day to guarantee a long-term sufficient power supply. The thermometer is provided with a light sensor to turn on the light automatically at dark between 5 until 9 o’clock and 19 until 23 o’clock. Avoid the proximity of artificial light such as street light.

• With the ECO slide is it possible to turn the time controlled illumination on (ON) or off (OFF).

• If the ECO mode is not active the illumination will turn on automatically as soon as the solar panel indicates darkness.

• When the battery symbol appears on the display, the voltage of the rechargeable battery is low and the back light function can be temporarily disabled, until the power supply by the solar cells is sufficient again.

• Fix the holder with the adhesive outside at the window. Remove the protective foil at first. Please clean the window glass before. Now you can hang up and demount the thermometer very easily.
