Temperature Trend Arrows 

 

Explanation: The indoor and outdoor temperature trend indicators will update every 30 

minutes or less. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours. 

 

 

UP ARROW: Temperature rose more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours 

 

DOWN ARROW: Temperature fell more than 2°F /1°C in the past three hours

Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor 

 

First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the temperature station 

in the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor 

to ensure that there is proper reception.  

 

POSITION 

 

Mount outdoor temperature outdoor sensors vertically.  

 

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. 

 

Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.  

 

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

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can 

reduce the range.
