CHECKING FOR 915MHz RECEPTION
If the outdoor temperature and humidity data are
not being received within two minutes after set
up (or outdoor display always shows “- -.-” in the
outdoor section of the Weather station during
normal operation), please check the following
points:
1.

The distance of the weather station or
transmitters should be at least 5 to 6.5
feet (1.5 -2 meters) away from any
interfering sources such as computer
monitors or TV sets.

2.

Avoid placing the transmitters onto or in
the immediate proximity of metal window
frames.

3.

Using other electrical products such as
headphones or speakers operating on the
915 MHz-signal frequencies may prevent
correct signal transmission or reception.

4.

Neighbors using electrical devices
operating on the 915MHz-signal
frequency can also cause interference.

Note:

When the 915MHz signal is received correctly,
do not re-open the battery cover of either the
transmitter or weather station, as the batteries
may spring free from the contacts and force a
false reset. Should this happen reset all units
(see “Set up” above) otherwise transmission
problems may occur.
The transmission range is around 330 feet (100
meters) from the thermo-hygro transmitter to the
weather station (in open space). However, this

14

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 “Set up”
above).

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION
The weather station provides the option of table
standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall
mounting, please check that the outdoor data
can be received from the desired locations.

To wall mount:
1.

Fix a screw (not
supplied) into the
desired wall, leaving
the head extended out
by about 5mm.

2. Place

the

weather

station onto the screw,
using the hanging hole
on the backside. Gently
pull the weather station
down to lock the screw
into place.

Foldout table stand:
The foldout table stand is
located on the backside. Pull
the stand out from the bottom
center edge of the weather
station, below the battery
compartment. Once the foldout
table stand is extended, place

15

the weather station in an
appropriate location.


POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO
TRANSMITTER

Before permanently fixing the thermo-hygro to
the wall base, pace all units in the desired
locations to check that the outdoor temperature
and humidity readings are receivable. In event
that the signal is not received, relocate the
thermo-hygro transmitter or the weather station
slightly as this may help the signal reception.

To wall mount:
1.

Secure the bracket onto a

desired wall using the screws and
plastic anchors.
2.

Clip the transmitter onto the

bracket.

Mount in a sheltered place. Avoid
direct rain and sunshine.


The thermo-hygro transmitter can be
placed onto any flat surface or wall
mount using the bracket which
doubles as a stand or wall mount
base.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

x

Extreme temperatures, vibration and
shock should be avoided as these may
cause damage to the units and give
inaccurate forecasts and readings.

x

When cleaning the display and casings,
use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use
solvents or scouring agents as they may
mark the LCD and casings.

x

Do not submerge the units in water.

x

Immediately remove all low powered
batteries to avoid leakage and damage.
Replace only with new batteries of the
recommended type.

x

Do not make any repair attempts to the
units. Return it to their original point of
purchase for repair by a qualified
engineer. Opening and tampering with the
units may invalidate their guarantee.

x

Do not expose the units to extreme and
sudden temperature changes, this may
lead to rapid changes in forecasts and
readings and thereby reduce their
accuracy.
