batteries backwards. You can permanently
damage the outdoor sensor.
Lithium batteries are recommended for the best
performance. We do not recommend rechargeable
batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well
at wide temperature ranges, and do not last as long,
resulting in poorer reception.
5. Mounting
Before you mount
Before proceeding with the outdoor mounting detailed in
this section, you may want to skip to WIFI configuration
instructions in section 6 and onwards first, while you
keep the assembled outdoor sensor package nearby
(although preferably not closer than 5 ft. from the
gateway). This will make any troubleshooting and
adjustments easier and avoids any distance or
interference related issues from the setup.
After WIFI configuration is completed and everything is
working, return here for outdoor mounting. If issues
show up after outdoor mounting they are almost
certainly related to distance, obstacles etc.
