2. If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery, immediately seek urgent medical assistance.

3. Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened.

4. Do not use if compartment is not secure.

5. Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely. Flat batteries can still be dangerous.

6. Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.

QUICK MOUNTING TIPS

WI ND SPEED

• Ensure the sensor is mounted vertically  an unobstructed rooftop is ideal.

• Your wind sensor should be the tallest object in the area to avoid reduced wind speed values.

THERMO-HYGRO

• Keep out of direct sunlight and ensure the sensor is well-ventilated.

• We recommend mounting it on a north-facing wall under an eave or deck for best results.
