Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature transmitter.
Place the mounting bracket over the desired location (wall or table).
Through the screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a
pencil.
Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are
flush with the bracket.
Insert the remote temperature transmitter into the bracket.
Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent mounting
solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.
Position Temperature Station
The Temperature Station has a wide base to sit on a desk or table.
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.
Place within range of the outdoor transmitter.
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with
signal reception.
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.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance:
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330-feet (100 meters)
between the outdoor transmitter and the Temperature Station.
Consider what is in the signal path between the Temperature Station and the
transmitter.
Consider the distance the Temperature Station is located away from other
electronic in the home.
Resistance:
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
When considering the distance between the transmitter and the Temperature
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.
Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the Temperature
Station.
Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the Temperature Station will
correct the interference issue.
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
