LOW BATTERY
• When this low battery icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section,
replace the batteries in the weather station.
• When this low battery icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings
section, replace the batteries in the outdoor transmitter.
POSITION THE WEATHER STATION
Choose a location for the weather station that is within range (200 feet, 60
meters) of the outdoor transmitter. The weather station has a build in base
stand to sit on a table or desk.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as
cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves,
routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal
reception.
• Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall.
• Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the
weather station is facing the outdoor transmitter. This allows
a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
POSITION THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
Once the weather station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity, place it
and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately one hour
before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper
reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded,
protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid 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 Weather station and under an overhang for accuracy.
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet
(60 meters).
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/humidity 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.
