To fold out the stand:
For best results:
•Insert the batteries and select the unit, channel, and
radio signal format before you mount the sensor.
•Place the sensor out of direct sunlight and moisture.
•Do not place the sensor more than 70 metres (230
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.
The transmission range may vary and is subject
to the receiving range of the main unit.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.
SENSOR DATA TRANSMISSION
Data is sent from the sensor(s) every 60 seconds. The
reception icon shown in the Temperature / Humidity Area
indicates the status.
NOTE ICON DESCRIPTION
