POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The remote temperature sensor should be mounted vertically to avoid damage.
WALL MOUNT
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall within transmission
range of the weather station, leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm)
extended from the wall.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the
backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
NOTE: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before
releasing.
TABLE STAND
Set the transmitter upright on a table or desk.
NOTE: This is not recommended as the transmitter may blow over and be
damaged.
To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the
outdoor temperature sensor. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature sensor on a
North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 100-
feet (30 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently
mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature sensor is not
waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to
standing water or snow.
