For best results:
• Insert the batteries and select the channel before
you mount the sensor.
• Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and
moisture.
• Do not place the sensor more than 30 meters
(98 feet) from the main (indoor) unit.
• Position the sensor so that it faces the main
(indoor) unit, minimizing obstructions such as
doors, walls, and furniture.
• Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
• Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing
temperatures may affect battery performance and
signal transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 78 seconds. The
reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows
the status.
ICON DESCRIPTION
