SOLAR-POWERED OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER (915MHZ RECEPTION)
The Weather Station receives outdoor data every 48 seconds. If it does not receive the temperature data
within 2 minutes after set-up (or the display shows “- - -”), then please check the following points:
1. The distance of the Weather Station or the Sensor should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any
interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid placing the Weather Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal
frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause
interference.
NOTE: When the 915 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of the Weather
Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen
accidentally then reset all units (see “TO INSTALL / REPLACE BATTERY IN THE SOLAR STATION
and “INITIAL SETUP above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 200 feet (60.96 m) from the outdoor transmitter to the Solar Station
(in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no
reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see “TO
REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION” and “INITIAL SETUP”).
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:
Stand the Weather Station on a table top, counter or desk, or mount is on a wall. Ensure that the Weather
Station continuously receives the 915MHz signal from the Sensor before mounting it in the desired
location.
CAUTION: If the Weather Station is placed in a constant strong light environment, move the battery
switch to Alkaline mode to prevent overcharging.
WARNING: Do NOT recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries outside of this product
because it will damage the batteries and other charging devices.
