Once the forecast is showing on the WD-2512U display, insert Batteries into the outdoor sensor 
and place 5-10 feet from the display for 15 minutes. Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display 
to show the outdoor temperature. 
 
The Wireless Outdoor Sensor sends temperature data to your Wireless Display, accurate to

the steps below: 
 

1.  Remove the battery compartment cover on the back 

of the sensor. 

2.  Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity 

(see marking). 

3.  Replace the battery compartment cover on the unit. 

 
 

Press the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the outdoor temperature at any time.  The

Hardware Installation 

 

 

NOTE:

 Hardware installation is completed after you have registered your Gateway and 

Wireless Display, inserted batteries into the Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor, and 
have confirmed successful reception of weather data.  

 

Wireless Outdoor Sensor Installation Options 

 

 

NOTE:

  Move the Wireless Outdoor Sensor into its intended location and wait for 10 

minutes to make sure the Wireless Display is still receiving the outdoor temperature.  Press 
the “+” Key on your Wireless Display to show the outdoor temperature. If the display shows 
- -,-F for the outdoor temperature, the signal cannot reach the Wireless Display.  Find a 
closer location to mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor and wait 10 minutes to check the 
Wireless Display again for reception.

  

 

 

DO NOT mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor in a permanent fashion until you are 
sure the Wireless Display is receiving the signal. 

To Surface Mount the Outdoor Sensor: 

We have provided a mounting plate that you can attach to a surface with the 
supplied screws.  The Sensor can be positioned on a flat surface by securing the 
stand to the bottom by gently pushing the bottom of the Sensor onto the holding 
pegs of the stand until they click into place in the grooves on the Sensor. 
 

To Wall Mount the Outdoor Sensor: 

 
The Outdoor Sensor is weather resistant, but not water proof. To ensure maximum 
Sensor life, mount it in a covered place out of the elements like under the eaves. 
Placement on the North side of your home will provide the most accurate readings. 
Mount it about 18” down from the eaves for optimum performance. This ensures that
