when Indicator Points Downwards, the Air-pressure is falling and the weather is
expected to become worse.

 When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the batteries in
the Forecast Station.
 When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the
batteries in the outdoor transmitter.
POSITIONING THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER:
Once the Forecast 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.
WALL MOUNT:
 Choose a shaded location with an overhang for the transmitter, that is
within the confirmed wireless reception range of the Forecast Station for
accuracy.
 Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving
approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.
 Place the hanging hole (on the back of the transmitter) onto the
mounting screw and gently slide the transmitter down onto the
mounting screw to secure it into place.
IMPORTANT: For true temperature and humidity readings, mount the transmitter out of
direct sunlight on a North-facing wall or in any other well shaded area like under an
eave or deck rail. 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.
