Position:
Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception.
Place within range of the outdoor transmitters. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200
feet (60 meters).
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with signal reception.
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Position the weather station to receive outdoor data from the thermo-hygro sensor and send data to
the gateway.
GATEWAY
Position the gateway within range (200 feet open air) of the
weather station.
The gateway should be installed indoors in an easy-to-reach
location.
Registration requires that you press the gray button on the
gateway.
It can be mounted securely to the wall with the included mounting
plate and drywall anchors.
Note: If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the gateway in a
desired location, any standard Category 5 network cable will work, but a crossover cable may not work.
Crossover cables designed to connect two computers without networking hardware may not work with
your gateway.
Note: Network cables usually have length limitations. The same length limitations will apply that apply
to computers on your home network.
