channel number for each unit

3. Insert the batteries.

4. Set the measurement unit (

°F or °C) and select the

US time zone – Pacific (P), Mountain (M), Central

(C) and Eastern (E).

5. Press RESET.

6. Replace and secure the battery compartment lid.

7. Secure the sensor in the desired location using the

wall mount or table stand.

For best results:

• Insert the batteries and select the channel

before you mount the sensor.

• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.

• Do not place the sensor more than 98 feet (30 meters)

from the weather station.

• Position the sensor so that it faces the weather

station, minimizing obstructions such as doors,

walls, and furniture.

• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view

to the sky, away from metallic or electronicobjects.

• Position the sensor close to the weather station

during cold winter months as below-freezing

temperatures may affect battery performance and

signal transmission.

You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best reception.

Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts
of water. Because of this they will freeze in low
temperatures of approximately 10

°F (-12°C). Disposable

lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for
temperature with an estimated freezing range of below
-40

°F (-40°C). The Liquid Crystal Display in outdoor

thermometers will remain operational to -20

°F (-28°C)

with adequate power.

Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors
such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may
temporarily reduce the effective range of the unit. If the
unit’s performance fails due to low temperature, the unit
will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises
to within the normal temperature range (i.e. no
permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low
temperatures).
