In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend
that you place the sensor in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct rain. Fog and mist
will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may.
Sensor is wet: I
f your sensor becomes soaked, bring the unit inside, remove the batteries

seal it in a plastic bag. You may also put it in a two-sided bird feeder with a roof.
Restart:
Remove batteries from all units and follow the directions in the Proper Restart
section above. If this does not correct the problem, continue to the next step.

Placement: The sensor will measure the temperature in the location where it is placed.
Therefore, the unit must be placed outside to register the outdoor temperature.
If you believe the temperature is still inaccurate, bring the transmitter indoors and let it set
for a couple hours to reach room temperature. Compare this reading with the reading on
your display. A temperature difference of +/- two degrees is considered normal. Therefore,
