is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it 
will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow. 
 
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range  of the forecast 
station and under an overhang for accuracy. Wireless transmitting range 
in open air is over 300-feet (90  meters) from outdoor transmitter to 
forecast station. 

 
Option 1: 

  Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving 

approximately ½  of an inch (12.7mm) extended. 

  Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging 

hole on the backside. 

  Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into 

place.  

 
Option 2:    

  Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the 

front of the transmitter and into the wall.  

  Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). 

 
To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct 
sunlight cannot reach the outdoor  transmitter. Mount the outdoor 
transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an 
eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air 
is over 300-feet (90  meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, 
concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place the 
transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
