damage and ensure accurate readings. The 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.
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the
Temperature Station and under an overhang for
accuracy.
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall
leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm)
extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into
place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the
transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature 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 over 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.
