moon is mirror inverted.

TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The range of the Temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when
placing the transmitter.
915 MHz RECEPTION
If the outdoor temperature data is not being received within 5 minutes after setting up (the
display shows ‘’ - -. -
F’’ on the outdoor section for a long time during normal operation) please
check the following items:
1. The distance of the Weather Station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Weather 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. Neighbors 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 Weather Station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts
and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up
above) otherwise transmission problems may occur.
44
The transmission range is about 330 feet (100 m) from the transmitter to the Weather
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).
Note: Sensor must be outside to transmit outdoor temperature. The sensor reads data from
the environment it is currently in.
POSITIONING
TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
The Transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a
wall with the two screws supplied. The Transmitter can also be
position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the
Transmitter.
