mounting hardware provided.

PLACEMENT TIPS

• Make sure that the main unit is locating within the operating range of all remote sensors.
• Ideally the remote sensors should be mounted within the line of sight of the main unit.
• Transmission range may be affected by trees, metal structures and electronic appliances.
• Test reception before permanently mounting all the remote sensors.

Avoid placing the main unit in the following areas:

• Direct sunlight and surfaces emitting and radiating heat, such as heating ducts or air conditioners.
• Areas with interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby

listening devices) and electronic appliances.
