POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION 

The Weather station provides the option of table standing or wall mounting the unit. Before wall 
mounting, please check that the outdoor data can be received from the desired locations.  

 

To wall mount: 
1.        Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out 
by about 5mm.  
2.       Place the weather station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the 
backside. Gently pull the  
          weather station down to lock the screw into place.
