ABOUT THE OUTDOOR WIRELESS TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

The range of the temperature sensor may be affected by the temperature. At cold 
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when 
positioning the sensor. The battery life may be reduced as well at cold temperatures. 

 

CHECKING FOR 433MHz RECEPTION 

If the outdoor temperature data is not being received within 3 minutes after setting up (the 
display shows “- -. - °F” and “- -%” on the outdoor section of the wireless weather station 
after 3 attempts during normal operation), please check the following items: 
1. 

The distance of the Weather clock or sensor should be at least 1.5 to 2 meters 
away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. 

2. 

Avoid positioning the weather station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal 
window frames.
