 When the batteries are properly installed, the remote sensor will resume sending signals to the weather station.
 Hold the DOWN arrow button for 4–5 seconds on the weather station to search for the remote sensors.
Positioning Sensors Outside
 Each sensor reads to the weather station independently.
 Consider the location of the weather station in the house and in relation to each sensor outside.
 The transmission range is 100 ft (30 m) open air, between each sensor and the weather station.
 Obstacles such as trees, walls, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range by one-half.
 Place sensors and weather station in desired locations, and wait approximately 30 minutes before permanently
mounting to ensure that there is proper reception.
Wind
 For most accurate wind readings, mount the wind sensor as the highest item in the area with a 50 foot clearance in all
directions (avoid tall trees, buildings or other obstructions that may block or reflect the wind).
 Cup should be on the bottom.
 Use 4 screws to mount the wind sensor vertically on a piece of wood about 3 inches wide.
 Be sure the metal mast holder faces north so the direction will read correctly.
 Roof Mounting: In most cases, at least 6 ft above the peak of the roof (or more) is required for accurate readings.
(Avoid tall trees or other obstructions that may block or reflect the wind).
