CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Lithium, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries
Do not expose the Forecast Station to extreme temperatures, vibration or shock. Keep dry.
Clean Forecast Station with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
The Forecast Station is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
The Forecast Station is not to be used for medical purpose or for public information, but is determined
for home use only.
The specifications of this Forecast Station may change without prior notice.
Improper use or unauthorized opening of housing will void the warranty.
If
the
Forecast Station
does not work properly, change the batteries and/or check the a/c cord
connection.
POSITION THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER:
The remote temperature transmitter should be mounted vertically to avoid damage.
WALL MOUNT
1. Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Forecast Station and
under an overhang for accuracy.
2. Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ inch
(12.7mm) extended..
3. Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
4. Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
NOTE:
Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.
To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor
transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an
eave or deck rail work well. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters).
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place
the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the
transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature/humidity transmitter is water
resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject
to standing water or snow.
POSITION THE FORECAST STATION:
1. The Forecast Station has a wide base to sit on a desk or table.
2. Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televisions, microwaves, routers etc.
3. Place within range of the outdoor transmitter.
4. The maximum transmitting range in open air is 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls,
windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
