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
 RIGHT ARROW: Temperature has not changed 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
MIN/MAX Temperature readings

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.

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.

Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range .
MOUNT
Option 1:

Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall.

Place the outdoor sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside).

Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.
Option 2:

Insert the mounting screw through the front of the outdoor sensor and into the wall.

Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
Position Temperature Station

The temperature station has a wide base to sit on a desk or table.

Place within range of the outdoor sensor.
