The range of the Thermo-Hygro transmitter may be affected by the temperature.

At cold temperatures

the transmitting distance may be decreased

. Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter.

Checking for 433 MHz reception:

The same as the DCF-77 signal, the Weather Station will automatically start scanning for the 433 
MHz signal after the batteries are inserted. If the outdoor temperature is not displayed

after about 30

seconds

, then check the following list before resetting the units (see Resetting below):

1.

The distance of the Weather Station should be at least 1.5 - 2.0 meters away from interfering
sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.

2.

Avoid placing the units onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.

3.

Using other electrical products such as headphones and speakers that operate on the same 
frequency signal (433 MHz) may prevent the transmission pick up.

4.

Neighbours using electrical items operating on the 433 MHz signal can also cause interference.

Note:

When the 433 MHz signal for the outdoor temperature has been received, do not re-open the battery
cover to either the Weather Station or transmitter as the batteries may accidentally spring free from 
the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen then reset both units (see Resetting below) 
otherwise transmission problems may occur.

The transmission range from the temperature transmitter to the Weather Station (433 MHz) is up to 
25 meters in open space, but again this depends on the surrounding environment and interference
levels. If reception is still not possible, then reset both units (see Resetting below).

The transmitter's transmitting range may be affected by exposure to extreme cold conditions ( -25ºC)
for long periods of time.  Should this happen, the 433 MHz signal may be weakened and therefore 
result in shorter transmitting distances.  The contrast of the LCD may reduce due to the power
reduction of the batteries caused by such sub-zero temperature levels.

Resetting:

1.

Remove batteries from both the Weather Station and the transmitter

2.

Wait at least 30 seconds and then repeat the procedures specified in 

Setting up

(above).

Note:

Always wait at least 30 seconds after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise start up
and transmission problems may occur.

Positioning the Weather Station:

Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature can be received
from the desired locations. To wall mount:

1.

Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head

  extended out the by about 5mm.

2.

Hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it 

  locks into place before releasing.

Positioning the Thermo-Hygro transmitter

The Thermo-Hygro transmitter is supplied with two screws for wall mounting. Before securing the
transmitter, ensure that the 433MHz signal (outdoor temperature and relative humidity readings) is
properly received.

The mounting surface can affect the transmission
range. If e.g. the unit is attached to a piece of metal, it
may then either reduce or increase the transmitting
range. For this reason, we recommend not placing
the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position
where a large metal or highly polished surface is in 
the immediate proximity (garage doors, double 
glazing etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure
that the Weather station can receive the signal from
the Thermo-Hygro transmitter at the positions that 
you wish to situate them.

Care and Maintenance:

Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to
the units and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

When cleaning the display and casings, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or 
scouring agents as they may mark the LCD and casings.

Do not submerge the units in water.

Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with
new batteries of the recommended type.

Do make any repair attempts to the units. Return them to their original point of purchase for
repair by a qualified engineer. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate their 
guarantee.

Do not expose the units to extreme and sudden temperature changes, this may lead to rapid 
changes in forecasts and readings and thereby reduce their accuracy.
