• When armed alert value is reached, station will beep 5 times, once each minute, until out  

   of alert range. 

• The flashing alert icon will indicate whether it is a LO or HI alert. 

• Press any button to stop the alert sound. 

• The alert icon will still flash while value is in alert range.

MOUNTING/POSITIONING  

 

First, set everything up in the house to be sure it works before mounting the sensor outside.

Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in the home. Wait 

approximately one hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to ensure that there is proper 

reception.  

 

POSITION 

Outdoor: 

 

Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun, which can cause it to 

read incorrectly.  

 

Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well. 

 

If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a box has vents. 

 

Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect readings.  

 

Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal. 

 

Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective

 range

. 

 

Outdoor sensor are water resistant, not waterproof.  

 

Mount outdoor temperature sensor vertically.  

 

Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the weather station. 

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters).  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.  

 

Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will 

interfere 

with the 

signal. 

 

RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
