For Accurate Measurements
 Ensure the Breeze Sensor is is mounted level with the Solar Panel facing
directly to the South. This will help optimize battery life and transmit correct
wind direction.
 Ideally, the Breeze Sensor should be mounted on the tallest object in your
area. Avoid positioning the sensor parallel or below eaves, rooflines, trees,
or other objects that may obstruct wind readings.
 Make sure all the screws on the Mounting Bracket, Wind Cups, Wind Vane,
and Battery Compartment are securely fastened.
 The Breeze Sensor should be mounted with the Wind Cups on the top.
