B. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY
SENSOR UNITS
1. To view the temperature, humidity, heat index and dew point of a different remote temperature sensor unit,
press and release the SNOOZE/CH button. A shift from one “boxed” number to the next should be observed
in the OUTDOOR LCD.
2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature, humidity, heat index and dew point: first select which
remote temperature/humidity sensor to read data from (indicated by the “boxed” number), then press the
OUT button. To view the readings from different sensors, follow IV. B. Viewing the Outdoor
Temperature/Humidity/Heat Index/ and Dew Records paragraph above.
4. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, select first which remote temperature/humidity sensor to read
data from. Press the OUT button to view the outdoor MIN/MAX records. Then follow the steps in IV. C.
Resetting the Minimum and Maximum Records paragraph above.
MOUNTING
Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station is able to receive WWVB signals from the
desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor weather
station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These
changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid
mounting where direct sunlight can reach the remote temperature/humidity sensor or indoor weather station. While the
remote temperature/humidity sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. We recommend that you
mount the remote temperature/humidity sensor on an outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 330ft—obstacles
such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait
approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The indoor weather
station should display a temperature and humidity in the OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up.
I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR
The remote temperature/humidity sensor can be mounted in several ways:
• With the use of screws
• Using adhesive tape
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature/humidity sensor.
2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
3) Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are tight against the
bracket.
5) Insert the remote temperature/humidity sensor into the bracket.
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting
surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.
3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.
4) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape.
5) Position the remote temperature/humidity sensor in the desired location, ensuring that the indoor
weather station can receive the signal.
II. THE INDOOR WEATHER STATION
The indoor weather station can be mounted in several ways:
• With the use of screws
• Using its foldout stand
A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately 3/16
of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
2) Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging hole on
the backside.
3) Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into place.
B. FOLDOUT TABLE STAND:
The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside.
