The sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor
temperatures. Sensor must be placed less than 330 ft (100 m)
from the display console. Sensor is water resistant and is
designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life
place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather
elements. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place
out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
There are 2 placement options for the sensor: Hang using the
integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang
from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.

Forecast Display
Precision Forecasting provides the weather forecast for the next
4-hour, 4 to 8-hour, and 8 to 12-hour time periods. Precision
Forecasting continuously analyzes your sensor data and updates the
forecast icons and high/low temperatures accordingly.
The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather
conditions. The moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead
of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.
Below is an example of a few forecast icons:

Initial Learning Mode
The forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures for
the first few hours after powering on. During this initial learning
mode, the weather station will observe changes in your weather
patterns and gather the data needed to generate your precision
forecast.
Stormy/Windy Cloudy Clear
Once setup is complete, choose a suitable location to place the indoor
display console and outdoor sensor:
Place the display console in a dry area free of dirt and dust.
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of
direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Console
stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. Adjust
display tilt to your preferred viewing angle.

Weather Station Placement
This weather station uses wireless radio frequency for data
communication, which is susceptible to interference from electronics,
large metallic items and thick walls. To prevent interference, place both
the display console and the sensor at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from
appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.), large metal surfaces, thick
stone walls, etc.
