5.6 Temperature probe
• The silver 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.
5.7 Backlight and fixing
• The supplied battery will be recharged in an environmentally friendly manner by the solar panel.
• 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 and 9 o'clock and 18 and 23
o'clock. Avoid the closeness of artificial light (like: street lighting).
• With the ECO slide it is possible to turn the time controlled illumination on (left) or off (right)
• 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 panel
is sufficient again.
• Choose a shady position. Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement.
• Press the plate firmly into the ground.
