ABOUT THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER The temperature may affect the range of the thermo-hygro transmitter. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in power for the thermo-hygro transmitter.
POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION Extend the foldout stand on the back and the weather station can be placed onto any flat surface. Avoid placing near electronics. To wall mount Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature and humidity values can be received from the desired locations. 1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about 5mm. 2. Using the hanging hole on the back, hang the weather station onto the screw.
To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. 2. Clip the thermo-hygro transmitter onto the bracket. Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature and humidity readings are receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter or move the units slightly as this may help the signal reception.
