WALL MOUNT
1. Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Weather Station and
under an overhang for accuracy.

(12.7mm) extended..
3. Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
4. Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
NOTE: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.
To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor
transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an
eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters).
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place
the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the
transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature/humidity transmitter is water
resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject
to standing water or snow.
