The indoor and outdoor temperature trend indicators are updated every 30
minutes. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three
hours.
Temperature rising more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours
Temperature has not changed more than 2°F /1°C in the past
three hours
Temperature falling more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours
The temperature trend indicators are shown next to the indoor temperature
and outdoor temperature readings.
POSITIONING OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER:
Once the Projection Alarm 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 (under an overhang) for the
transmitter that is within the confirmed wireless reception
range of the Projection Alarm 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 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.
LOW BATTERY:
When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the
batteries in the Projection Alarm.
When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace
the batteries in the outdoor transmitter.
