General
Before installing or wall-mounting the display console, make sure that the quality of the reception is good at the
desired location (measured data of the outdoor sensor(s)).
You should set up or install the display console as far away as possible from electric devices or metallic objects.
Moreover, the display console must be located as far away as possible from heaters or the measured values for the
inside temperature and indoor humidity will be useless.
For the same reason, you should not place the console into direct sunlight or next to a window or door (drafty).

Wall mounting
There is an eyebolt on the back of the display console for mounting it to a suitable vertical wall.
Since the display console is rather heavy, it must be mounted securely. Depending on the structure of
your wall, use an appropriate nail or screw (with wall plug).
