
Mount the transmitter on the North side to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.

Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong signal.

Outdoor transmitters are water resistant but not water proof.

Avoid more than one wall between the transmitter and the forecast station.

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.

Place the outdoor transmitter and the forecast station in the desired shaded
locations, and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the
transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception.

Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
MOUNT

Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature sensor .

Place the mounting bracket over the desired shaded location (wall or table).

Through the screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a
pencil.

Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are
flush with the bracket.

Insert the outdoor temperature sensor into the bracket.
Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent
mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.
Position Forecast Station

The Forecast station has pull out legs to sit on a desk or table, or it can hang on
a wall.

Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones,
gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which
can prevent signal reception.

Place within range of the outdoor transmitter.

Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with
signal reception.

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 330-feet (100 meters).

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.

For best WWVB reception, orientate the forecast station with the front of the
back facing Ft. Collins Colorado.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance:

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330-feet (100 meters)
between the outdoor transmitter and the forecast station.

Consider what is in the signal path between the forecast station and the
transmitter.

Consider the distance the forecast station is located away from other electronic
in the home.
