Place the remote sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside). 

 

Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.  

 

Option 2:    

 

Insert the mounting screw through the front of the remote sensor and into the wall.  

 

Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). 

 

Position Weather Station 

 

 

The weather station has a pull out stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall 

mounted.  

 

Place within 

range 

of the remote sensor.  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 330 feet (100 meters).  

 

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can 

reduce the range. 

 

Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, 

wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., 

which can prevent signal reception. 

 

Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with RF 

(radio frequency) signal reception. 

 

Distance/Resistance/Interference 

 

Distance:  

 

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between 

the remote sensor and the weather station. This range is in open air with ideal 

conditions. 

 

Consider what is in the signal path between the weather station and the remote 

sensor. 

 

Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the weather station and the 

remote sensor. 

 

Resistance:  

 

Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can 

reduce the range.  

 

When considering the distance between the remote sensor and the weather station 

(330 feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other 

obstruction in the signal path.   

 

Closer is better. 

 

Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.  

 

Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range. 

 

Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal. 

 

Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the 

effective range. 

 

 

Interference:  

 

Consider items in the signal path between the remote sensor and the weather station.
