- Soil moisture measurement in 4 levels (1 is dry and 4 is wet)

- Watering level setting for different species of plants

- Alert to remind user to refill the reservoir when it is empty (LCD flashes “EMPTY” and LED indicator blinks)

- Low battery indicator (LCD displays low battery icon and LED indicator blinks)

- Reservoir holds up to 350mL of water

- Operated by 2 pieces of AAA batteries

Initial Setup & operation

- Pull out the plastic lid on top of the reservoir and fill in water. Place back the plastic lid.

- Open the battery door and insert 2 pieces of AAA batteries according to the polarity indicated

- Close the battery door

- The upper line of the display shows the soil moisture reading in 4 levels (1 is dry and 4 is wet)

The lower line shows the watering level setting.

Press [MODE] button repeatedly to select the automatic watering level between “1”, “2”, “3” & “-“

309.5mm

When watering level is 1, the unit will water the plant automatically when soil moisture reaches level 1

When watering level is 2, the unit will water the plant automatically when soil moisture reaches level 2 or below

When watering level is 3, the unit will water the plant automatically when soil moisture reaches level 3 or below

When watering level is “-“, the automatic watering function is disabled

- After setting the watering level, insert the unit into soil until it reaches the round plastic plate

Note: When the display shows “EMPTY”, the [MODE] button does not function until water is refilled into the reservoir

Note: Press and hold [MODE] button for over 6 seconds to manually release water for 8 seconds (around 50ml)

Reference Watering level

Different plants require different level of soil moisture. Some plants prefer drier soil conditions and some like to be

kept moist.

** Above table is for reference only and different factors such as the type of soil & fertilizer may affect

the actual soil moisture level & the suggested watering level. We do not take any liability for any loss or

damage caused by this reference table

Note:

- The soil sensor measures electric current flowing between the 2 metal pins on the probe and converts the signal

into soil moisture level indication. Due to the fact that electrical conductivity varies between different type &

density of soil and fertilizer as well as the positioning & depth of the probe, the moisture level reading may vary

accordingly and this is normal. The soil moisture level is to provide general reference of the soil moisture

condition only.

- The plant monitor may not be able to measure the soil moisture accurately for very coarse or gravely soils due to

the non-conductive air gap or spacing hidden inside the soil. In this case the soil moisture reading may be lower

than expected and this is normal.
