POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The remote temperature transmitter can be placed onto any flat surface or wall
mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.
To wall mount:
1.
Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic
anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature transmitter onto the bracket.
Note:
The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the unit
is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the
transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not to place the unit on any
metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface
is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double glazing, etc.). Before securing
18
in place, please ensure that the Temperature Station can receive the 915MHz signal from the
temperature transmitter at the positions that you wish to place them.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
 Extreme temperatures, vibrations and shocks should be avoided as these may cause damage to
the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.
 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.
 Do not submerge the units in water. Furthermore, fix all parts in place where the units are
adequately protected against moisture and rain.
 Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with
new batteries of the recommended type.
 Do not make any repair attempts to the unit. Return them to their original point of purchase for
repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the unit may invalidate their
guarantee.
 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.
