915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The Temperature Station should receive the outdoor temperature data within a few minutes after
setup. If the temperature data are not received about 2 minutes after setup (the signal reception icon
does not appear), please check the following points:
1.
The distance of the Temperature Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 to 2
meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid positioning the Temperature Station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window
frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal
frequency (915MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbours 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 the Temperature Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a
false reset. If this happens accidentally, all units must be reset (see Setting up above) otherwise
transmission problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 200 feet/ 60 m from the transmitter to the Temperature Station (in
open space). However, this 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
Setting up above).

POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
The Temperature Station comes attached with a table stand, which provides the
option of table standing the unit in addition to wall mounting. Before wall
mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature values 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.
Hang the Temperature Station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it
locks into place before releasing.
