PLACEMENT

A/B/C Wireless Selection

Place the display unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help

ensure an accurate indoor temperature and humidity measurement,

be sure to place the display unit out of direct sunlight, and away

from any heat sources or vents in your home. There are 2 placement

options for the display unit. You may hang the main unit on a wall

using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you may place the

main unit on a table top or other flat surface using the the included

detachable table top display stand.

Placement of Display Unit

Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the wireless

sensor and the display unit. The wireless sensor MUST be placed less than 330

feet (100 meters) away from the display unit.

This wireless thermometer uses radio frequency for communication, which is

susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic

items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from

appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects that may interfere with

the wireless communication ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ).

To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor

network to be used in close proximity, the display unit and the

wireless sensor have a small switch labeled “A B C” within the

battery compartments. This switch selects one of 3 wireless modes

to use, and both switchs MUST be set in matching positions (either A,

B, or C) fore wireless communication to take place successfully.

outdoor temperatures and humidity. The wireless sensor must be

placed less than 330 feet (1000 m) from the display unit. The

wireless sensor is water resistant and is designed for general

outdoor use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the

wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements.

To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure

the wireless sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any

heat sources.

There are 2 placement options for the wireless sensor. You may hang it

using one of the two integrated hang holes, or use string (not included)

to hang it from a suitable location like a well covered tree branch.
