Outdoor Sensor drains batteries quickly.
 Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the
voltage of the batteries.
 When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.
 Check the distance and resistance between the sensor and Temperature Station.
Sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh, but not
after they drain a bit.
 Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
View and reset MIN/MAX Temperature readings.
 Press the MIN/MAX button repeatedly to view the MIN/MAX indoor temperature
and MIN/MAX outdoor temperature sequentially.
 Hold MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to reset all the indoor and outdoor
temperature to current temperatures.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Sensor
 Mount outdoor temperature sensors vertically and under a bit of an overhang.
 Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow, and from the overhead
sun, which can cause it to read incorrectly. Mounting under an eave or deck rail
works well.
 Construct a small roof or box for the sensor if you do not have an overhang.
Please be sure the box is vented.
 Mount the sensor on the North side to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
 Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Outdoor sensors are water resistant but not waterproof.
 Avoid more than one wall between the sensor and the Temperature Station.
 Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that
will interfere with the signal.
 RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
 Place the outdoor sensor and the Temperature Station in the desired shaded
locations, and wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the
sensor to ensure that there is proper reception.
 Do not mount the sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
MOUNT
 Choose a location for the sensor that is within range of the Temperature Station
and under an overhang for accuracy.
 Mount the sensor vertically and under a bit of an overhang.
 Protect the sensor from standing rain or snow, and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
 Outdoor sensors are water resistant but not waterproof. Mounting under an eave
or deck rail works well.
 It is best to mount the sensor with screws as tape can fail causing the sensor to
fall.
