Position:
• 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.
• Place within range of the outdoor transmitters. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200
feet (60 meters).
• Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with signal reception.
• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
• Position the weather station to receive outdoor data from the thermo-hygro sensor and send data to
the gateway.
GATEW AY
• Position the gateway within range (200 feet open air) of the
weather station.
• The gateway should be installed indoors in an easy-to-reach
location.
• Registration requires that you press the gray button on the
gateway.
• It can be mounted securely to the wall with the included mounting
plate and drywall anchors.
Note: If you require a longer LAN cable to mount the gateway in a
desired location, any standard Category 5 network cable will work, but a crossover cable may not work.
Crossover cables designed to connect two computers without networking hardware may not work with
your gateway.
Note: Network cables usually have length limitations. The same length limitations will apply that apply
to computers on your home network.
