Install Batteries in the Outdoor Transmitter
1. Slide the battery cover down, then lift off the front of the transmitter.
2. Insert two new AA batteries into the transmitter. Observe the correct polarity (see marking
inside battery compartment).
3. Keep transmitter 5-10 ft. from the weather station during setup.
4. If the outdoor temperature shows on the weather station after 15 minutes, you can move the
outdoor transmitter outside to a shaded location within range of the weather station.
Care and Maintenance
Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
Do Not Mix Alkaline, Lithium, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries
Do not expose the weather station to extreme temperatures, vibration or shock. Keep dry.
Clean weather station with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
The weather station is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
The weather station is not to be used for medical purpose or for public information. It is for home use
only.
The specifications of this weather station may change without prior notice.
Improper use or unauthorized opening of housing will void the warranty.
If the weather station does not work properly, change the batteries.
Position the Weather Station
Choose a location for the weather station that is within range of the outdoor transmitter. The
weather station has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.
Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception.
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall.
Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the weather station is facing the
outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the weather station shows the outdoor temperature, place it and the transmitter in the desired
locations and wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there
is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6
feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The 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. Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the weather station
and under an overhang for accuracy.
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch
(12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature 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 over 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.
