•
Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the weather station and the
outdoor sensor.
Resistance:
•
Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects
can reduce the range.
•
When considering the distance between the outdoor sensor and the weather
station (200 feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush
or other obstruction in the signal path.
•
Closer is better.
•
Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
•
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
•
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
•
Consider items in the signal path between the outdoor sensor and the weather
station.
•
Sometimes a simple relocation of the outdoor sensor or the weather station will
correct the interference.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs signal.
•
Avoid transmitting antennas: (ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports,
military bases, etc.)
•
Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.)
•
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
•
It is difficult for RF (radio frequency) signal to travel through a hill.
Temperature Alerts
Explanation: The outdoor and indoor temperature alerts are set in two separate steps.
•
Set the alert value.
•
Arm/Disarm the alert.

LO setting.
2.
OUTDOOR LO alert will flash. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to set the alert value, and press
the ALERT button to confirm. Then press the ALERT button again switch to INDOOR HI
setting.
3.
INDOOR HI alert will flash. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to set the value, and press the
ALERT button to confirm and switch to INDOOR LO.
