Button Icon Description 

CH/R

• Quickly press
  1. When there are multiple wireless remote sensor, press to switch the current channel (CH1, CH2 or CH3) of the wireless remote sensor, and the wireless remote sensor can be fixed in the current channel. 
  2. When switching to "CHS", after 5s, the temperature and humidity of wireless remote 
     sensor will be displayed in turn, each will show 5 seconds.
     • (Note: Up to 3 wireless remote sensors can be connected, CH1 = wireless remote sensor 1, CH2 = wireless remote sensor 2, and CH3 = wireless remote sensor 3) 
• Long press (Ss)
  It can reset the synchronization between the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and all wireless remote sensor. After resetting, the wireless remote sensor needs to be re-powered (Re-install the battery) before it synchronize with the Temperature and Humidity Monitor. 
  The Temperature and Humidity Monitor and the wireless remote sensor can be synchronized within 2 minutes after the wireless remote sensor is re-powered on), when synchronizing, try to make the wireless remote sensor close to the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and please do not press any button. 

C/°F

• Quickly press
  When in normal working mode, press to switch temperature unit to C/°F. 
  When the display is showing the maximum minimum temperature and humidity (press MAX/MIN/CLEAR button to display the maximum minimum temperature and humidity), press to switch the maximum and minimum recording time interval of temperature and humidity to ALL-TIME or24 hours. 

MAX/MIN/CLEAR

• Quickly press
  Press to display the maximum minimum temperature and humidity
  When there is no button operation, the current temperature and humidity display will be restored after 30s. 

• Long press (5s)
  Long press to clear the maximum minimum temperature and humidity record value, then re-record. 
  Wireless remote sensor (Transmitter) 

  

TX

• Quickly press
  Press to send temperature and humidity data to the Temperature and Humidity Monitor, when the transmission is successful, the red light of wireless remote sensor will flash once. 
• Long press (5s)
  Reset the synchronization between the wireless remote sensor unit and the Temperature and Humidity Monitor. After resetting, the wireless remote sensor needs to be powered on again to  synchronize with the Temperature and Humidity Monitor, when synchronizing, try to make the wireless remote sensor close to the Temperature and Humidity Monitor.

Setup Guide

The Inkbird Digital Hygrometer ITH-20R requires no effort to set up. Putting in the batteries, powering on the device, and customizing the settings is as easy as pie. The device's magnetic back allows you to connect it to any metal surface, while the mounting hole allows you to put it on walls or other vertical surfaces. The user manual is available for download from Inkbird's website; following its instructions will calibrate the device.

Synchronization  

Reset of Temperature and Humidity Monitor and wireless remote sensor

• The first step is to correctly install the battery of the Temperature and Humidity Monitor to power on. 
• After Temperature and Humidity Monitor is powered on, then please install battery correctly for wireless remote sensor power on, and try to close the wireless remote sensor to the Temperature and Humidity Monitor. 
  (Note: When the wireless remote sensor is synchronized with the Temperature and Humidity Monitor, it has to be powered on again (Re-install the battery). Please synchronized within 2 minutes after power-on. After 2 minutes of power-on, it is normal working time, then it cannot be synchronized with the Temperature and Humidity Monitor.) 
• If the battery installation is successful, the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and wireless remote sensor will be powered on normally, and the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and the wireless remote sensor will complete synchronization within 2 minutes. If fail to synchronization, the wireless remote sensor can be re-powered to complete synchronization. 
• Once the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and the wireless remote sensor are synchronized, the wireless remote sensor is successfully registered, the Temperature and Humidity Monitor will display the corresponding wireless remote sensor synchronization channel, and the registration information of the wireless remote sensor is recorded sensor (After the Temperature and Humidity Monitor is powered off and restarted, it is not necessary to re-synchronize with the wireless remote sensor).

When the red light of the wireless remote sensor flashes once, it indicates that the data is successfully transmitted once, and when the RF signal icon of the corresponding channel of the wireless remote sensor is light (lighting for Ss), it means the Temperature and Humidity Monitor successfully receives the data once and updates the current temperature and humidity in real time. 

Reset synchronization 

1. Press and hold the TX button (5s) of wireless remote sensor to reset the synchronization between the wireless remote sensor and the Temperature and Humidity Monitor. If you need to re-synchronize, follow the above steps A-D to synchronize. 
2. Press and hold the CH/R button (5s) of Temperature and Humidity Monitor to reset the synchronization between the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and all the wireless remote  sensors. If you need to re-synchronize, follow the above steps A~D to synchronize. 
3. After the Temperature and Humidity Monitor and the wireless remote sensor are synchronized, if the Temperature and Humidity Monitor does not receive the data update from the wireless remote sensor of the corresponding channel for a long time (about 10 minutes or more), ‘’--,-'' will be displayed. 

Troubleshooting

Some typical issues with the Inkbird Digital Hygrometer ITH-20R and how to fix them are as follows:

1. Make sure the batteries are in the right way if the device still won't switch on. Just put in fresh batteries whenever they run out.
2. Check that the equipment has been calibrated correctly in accordance with the user handbook if the readings are inaccurate. Get in touch with Inkbird's support staff if you're still having trouble with the readings.
3. Verify that the batteries are properly inserted if the LCD screen remains blank. It may be worth trying resetting the device or modifying the backlight settings if the batteries are functioning properly.
4. Keep the device away from water and other damp environments; doing so could harm the sensor and lead to erroneous results. The warranty could be voided if you open the item with sharp objects or force.
