Wireless sensor is disrupting the functioning of other devices in the 916 MHz
band.
The transmission of the wireless outdoor sensor can be briefly interrupt (every 2-3
minutes for approx. 100 ms) the functioning of other devices on the same chan-
nel.
Other instructions for start-up or troubleshooting
Turn the receiving weather station slightly; if there is no reception, mount it away
from electrical motors, electrical machines, televisions, computer monitors and
large metal surfaces. Also see chapter 13 (FCC Information)
To simplify start-up, you can also bring the sensors first close to the base station
(min. 3 ft. distance). You can then properly control the data transmission from the
sensor.
