and resistance between the transmitter and Digital Atomic Clock.
Transmitters at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after
they drain a bit.
•
Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the transmitter.
•
Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline
and Lithium batteries.
Temperature Trend Arrows
•
Black arrows next to the indoor and outdoor temperature readings reflect the
temperature change in the past three hours.
•
UP ARROW: Temperature rising more than 2°F (1°C) over the past three hours
•
RIGHT ARROW: Temperature did not change more than 2°F (1°C) over the past three
hours
•
DOWN ARROW: Temperature falling more than 2°F (1°C) over the past three hours
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Transmitter
•
Mount outdoor Temperature transmitters vertically and under a bit of an overhang.
•
Protect the outdoor transmitter from standing rain or snow, and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly. Generally, mounting under an eave or deck rail
works well.
•
Construct a small roof or box for the transmitter if you do not have an overhang. Please
be sure the box is vented.
•
Mount the transmitter on the North side to prevent the sun from causing incorrect
readings.
•
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong signal.
•
Outdoor transmitters are water resistant but not waterproof.
•
Avoid more than one wall between the transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock.
•
Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will
•
RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
•
Place the outdoor transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock in the desired shaded
locations and wait 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that
there is proper reception.
•
Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective
range.
MOUNT
•
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within
and under an overhang for accuracy.
•
Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving ½ 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.
