 Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Interference:
 Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the weather
station.
 Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the weather station will
correct the interference issue.
 Windows can reflect the radio signal.
 Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Stucco is held to the wall by a metal mesh.
 Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military
base etc.)
 Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
 Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
 Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
Weather Station
12-Hour Time Format
 Only has 12 hour time format.
Power Requirements
 2-AA alkaline batteries power the weather station
Does the Weather station Have a Backlight?
 No, this weather station does not have a backlight.
 Generally, an a/c power cord is required for products to have a backlight.
 This weather station does not use a/c power cord.
Weather Forecast
FORECAST ICONS: Forecast icons such at sun, sun with clouds, and clouds with
rain are predicting what you will see 6-12 hours in the future not what you see
currently. All forecasting is 75% accurate.
 Sun means pressure is raising and weather should be improving not that it
would be sunny.
 Sun with clouds means pressure is steady.
 Clouds with rain mean pressure is falling not that you will have rain or snow.
Note: After set up, readings for Weather Forecasts should be disregarded for
the next 48-60 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the weather station to
collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more
accurate forecast.
WEATHER TENDENCY INDICATOR (Up or Down arrows): Working together
with the weather icons is the Weather Tendency Indicators. When the Indicator
Points Upwards, it means that the Air-pressure is Increasing and the weather is
expected to improve, but when Indicator Points Downwards, the Air-pressure is
