Where the sensor should be placed
1. Sensor can be hung/placed.
2. Better place it under the porch and eaves.
3. The maximum range of the sensor can reach 328ft in an open area.
4. Make sure that the sensor is vertical so that moisture can be drained correctly.
Note
:
•
Shielding building materials such as reinforced concrete reduce or prevent the radio
reception between the base station and wireless sensor.
•
Devices such as televisions, cordless phones, computers and fluorescent tubes can also
interfere with the wireless reception.
•
Do not place the base unit and wireless sensors directly on the floor. This restricts the
range.
•
In low temperatures in winter the battery performance of the wireless sensors can be
significantly reduced. This reduces the transmitter range.
Where the weather station should be placed
•
Pull out the stand and place on a flat surface.
•
Or use the hanging holes on the back to mount on a wall.
•
Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming
systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, etc.
•
Place within range of the outdoor sensors (330 ft, 100m open air).
•
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce
the range.
Resetting the weather station
If the base station appears to display incorrect values, you should reset the weather station
to the factory settings.
a. Shut off the main weather station (take out batteries or unplug the power cord).
b. Take the batteries out of the outdoor sensor.
c. Power on the main weather station (put batteries in or plug the power cord).
d. Put batteries back in the outdoor sensor.
e. Put them together within a couple feet for about 20 minutes for a strong connection.
