POSITION THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
Choose a location for the Temperature Station that is within range of
the outdoor transmitter. The Temperature Station has a
built in base to sit on a table or desk.
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.
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall.
Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of
the Temperature Station is facing the outdoor
transmitter. This allows a larger portion of the antenna to
receive a signal.
POSITION THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER:
Once the Temperature Station shows the outdoor temperature, place it
and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately 1-
hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there
is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a
shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid
