SECTION 3 • PLACEMENT
Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the 3
wireless sensors and the main unit. The wireless sensors MUST be
placed
LESS THAN
100 feet away from the main unit.
This wireless weather station uses radio frequency for communication,
which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and
large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet
away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large
metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the
wireless communication.

After batteries are installed in all 3 wireless sensors and the main unit is
powered up (with batteries and/or AC adaptor), the main unit will
automatically prompt you to set your unit preference and the initial time
and date. After the atomic clock signal is received, the time and date will
be maintained automatically. If you choose not set any preferences
initially, the main unit will use the defaults and begin searching for the
atomic clock signal to set itself. This may take up to 24 hours and may
not occur at all depending on your geographical location and your
physical surroundings. See “troubleshooting” for atomic clock tips.
