Backlight
• The supplied battery will be recharged in an environmentally 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 and 9 o'clock and 18 and 23 o'clock. Avoid the closeness of arti-
ficial 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 cells is sufficient again.
MAX/MIN temperatures
• There is an automatic update of maximum temperature at 8:00 and minimum tem-
perature at 20:00. Please set the actual time to activate this function.
• Auto Reset flashes on the LCD.
Temperature probe
• The silver pin is the temperature probe. Please take care of it and do not break it.
The temperature probe has no adjusting function. It only measures the temperature.
Installation
• Choose a shady position. Direct sunshine falsifies the measurement.
• Press the plate firmly in the ground.
• Mount the rod and put it into the ground passing through the hole in the middle
of the plate. Fix the thermometer on the rod and turn the solar panel (rotatable
180°) to the direction where it receives the highest light supply.
Battery replacement:
• Please change the 1.5 V AA battery when the display becomes weak.
• Use alkaline batteries only. Observe correct polarity. Low batteries should be
changed soon to avoid the damage resulting from a leaking battery. Batteries con-
tain harmful acids. Wear protective glasses and gloves when handling with leaked
batteries.
Attention:
Please do not dispose of old electronic devices and empty batteries in household
waste. To protect the environment, take them to your retail store or to appro-
priate collection sites according to national or local regulations.
