WHERE TO I PLACE MY CLOCK?
Your clock is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the wall.
•
Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your clock and your sensor outside.
•
Position you clock six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF
(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather clock a few feet.
•
Mount your clock near an exterior wall with the front or back facing toward Ft. Collin
Colorado for best WWVB reception.
WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters) between your
sensor and your clock.
•
Consider the signal path from your clock to your sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance your clock is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensor on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensor and your clock.
•
Simple relocation of the sensor or your clock may correct an interference issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military
bases, etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
