POSITION THE TEMPERATURE STATION
Choose a location for the Temperature Station that is within range
(200 feet, 60 meters) of the outdoor transmitter. The
Temperature Station has a built in base to sit on a table
or desk.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics
such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc.,
which can prevent signal reception.
• Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a
wall.
• Best reception is achieved when the front or the back
of the Temperature Station is facing the outdoor transmitter.
This allows a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
POSITION THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
Once the Temperature Station shows the outdoor temperature,
place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait
approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter
to ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be
mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from
the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The
transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be
placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to
standing water or snow.
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the
Temperature Station and under an overhang for
accuracy.
Option 1:
• Install one mounting screw (not included) into a
wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm)
extended.
• Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the
hanging hole on the backside.
• Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw
into place.
Option 2:
• Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the
transmitter and into the wall.
• Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct
sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor
transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area.
Under an eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting
range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as
walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range. Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to
improve signal transmission.
