How to Reset the Password

If you have forgotten your password, you do not have to return 
the device to the manufacturer. Please consult our support. 
The support staff will perform the further steps together with 
you. For this purpose, keep the serial number and the MAC 
address of your device at hand. To obtain this information, 
you have to stop the BAT 11b in the monitor status. This is only 
possible if you keep the monitor button pressed for approxi-
mately 4 seconds with the help of a small object, e.g. a paper 
clip. The monitor status will then be displayed via a special 
LED status.

Relative Air 
Humidity

0% to +95%, not condensing
