Position the Weather Station
Choose a location for the weather station that is within range of the outdoor transmitter. The
weather station has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.
Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception.
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall.
Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the weather station is facing the
outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the weather station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity, place it and the transmitter in the
desired locations and wait approximately one-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure
that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area,
at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter is water
resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject
to standing water or snow. To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct sunlight
cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an
eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters).
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
transmission.
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an 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.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
