DEW POINT TEMPERATURE
Dew Point Temperature is the s aturat ion point of the air, or the temp erature
to which the air has to cool in order to creat e condensation. The higher the
dew points, the higher the moisture conten t of the air at a given
temperature.

LOW BATTERY
• When this low bat tery icon appears in t he indoor (IN) r eading section,
rep lace the batter ies in the w eather station.
• When this low bat tery icon appears in t he outdoor (O UT) readings
section, r eplace the batteries in the outdoor transm i t ter.
POSIT I ON THE WEAT HER STATION
Ch oos e a location f or the weathe r stat ion th at is withi n rang e (200 feet, 60
meters) of the outdoor transmitter. The weath er station has a buil d i n base
stand to sit on a table or desk.
• Ch oo s e a l ocat ion 6 f e et or mor e from elec t r on i cs su c h as
cordless pho nes, g aming systems, televi sions, microwaves,
routers, b aby monitors, etc., whic h can prevent signal
reception.
• Be aware of el ect ri cal wires and plumbing w ithin a wall.
• Best reception is achieved when the fr ont or the back of the
weather st ation is facing the outdoor transmitt er. This allows
a larger port ion of the antenna to receive a signal.
POSITION THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER
Once t he weather station sh ows the out door temperature/humidi ty, place it
and the transmitter in the desired locati ons and wai t ap prox i m ately on e hour
before permanently m ount i ng the transmitter to ensure that there i s proper
reception. The transm i tter should be m ounted vertically, in a shad ed,
protect ed area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid d amage and ensure
accurate r eadi ngs. The transmitt er is water resist ant, not waterproof and
should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or
subject to stan ding water or sn ow.
Choose a location for the tr ansmitter that is within range of
the Weather station and under an overhang for accur ac y.
The maximum transmit ting range in open air is over 200-feet
(60 meters).
Option 1:
• Install one mounti ng s cr ew (not included) into a wall
leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended.
• Pl ace the transmitter ont o the screw, using the hanging
hole o n the backside.
• Gen tly pull the transmitter dow n t o lock the scr ew int o
place.
Option 2:
• Insert the m ount i ng screw (not included) through the fr ont of the
transmitter and into the wall.
• Tighten th e sc rew to snug (do not over tight en).
To achieve a true temperature/humidi ty reading, m ount where dir ect
sunlight c annot reach th e outdoor transmitter. Mount t he outdoor
transmitt er on a North-faci ng wall or in any well shaded area. Under an
eave or deck r ail work well. The maximum t ransmitting range in open air i s
over 200-feet (6 0 meters). Obstacles suc h as walls, windows, st ucco,
concr ete , an d larg e metal objec ts can reduce the range. Place the
transmitter at least 6 feet i n t he air to impr ove signal transmission.
