User's Manual
The top, left of the base unit display will show the icon to indicate signal
transmission. If the OUT temperature does not show on the display within 6 minutes
after reset, press the RE-SYNC button and the main unit will search for the RF signal for
another 6 minutes. If the base unit still fails to show the out temperature, refer to the
LOSING SYNCHRONIZATION section.
Locating the Base Unit and Remote Sensor
• Choose a suitable place for the base unit and remote outdoor sensor, within the
transmission distance.
• Place the base unit near a window, but away from direct sunlight or sources of heat or
air conditioning to ensure accurate temperature readings.
• The location you choose is critical for maximizing the transmission range. The remote
sensor is designed to transmit unimpeded 80 to 100 ft. Transmitting through walls,
metal doors and metal framed windows may reduce the transmission range. To
optimize the transmission distance, the remote unit should be positioned in a location
that minimizes these obstructions. Other interference from electrical sources such as
home security systems, wireless doorbells and wireless home entertainment equipment
may interrupt the transmission signal temporarily.
Notes:
• The outdoor rain collector must be placed on a level, horizontal surface for accurate
rainfall measurement.
• Warning: Ice will affect the accuracy of rainfall readings and will damage the internal
mechanism of the rain collector. In temperatures below freezing the collector can
remain outdoors for temperature data transmission, but the unit must be placed in a
protected area to prevent ice damage.
INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE
• The indoor temperature is shown after activation until the first outdoor temperature
signal is received. The display will then change to the outdoor temperature reading.
