WALL MOUNTING

1. Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

2. Place the Weather Station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the Weather Station down to lock the screw into place.

NOTE: Always ensure that the Weather Station locks onto the screw before releasing.

POSITIONING THE SOLAR TRANSMITTER (SENSOR):

It is important to place the Sensor in a bright environment for the solar panel to collect enough light to recharge the internal power cell. It is best mounted on an East wall to receive cool morning sun to charge. Under an overhang will provide protection from the overhead sun, which can cause temperature inaccuracies.

The Sensor can be placed onto any flat surface or wall mounted using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base.

WALL MOUNTING:

1. Secure the bracket onto desired wall using screws and plastic anchors.

2. Clip the solar Sensor onto the bracket.

NOTE: The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the Sensor is attached to a piece of metal, it may then either reduce or increase the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not to place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double-glazing, etc.). Before securing the Sensor in place, please ensure that the Weather Station continuously receives the 915MHz signal from the Sensor from the desired location.

TO REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION

The Weather Station uses either the included 2 x solar-rechargeable batteries (charged by solar panel) or 2 x AA standard alkaline batteries (non-rechargeable; not included).

The Weather Station comes with special solar-rechargeable batteries that should provide many years of service. If the batteries lose their ability to hold a charge, please dispose of them responsibly. Do NOT attempt to recharge the included solar-rechargeable batteries outside of the WS-6010U.Use standard alkaline batteries or contact customer support for more information.

WARNING! "Do NOT recharge the included solar rechargeable batteries in any device other than the product they came with. Recharging the alkaline rechargeable batteries in battery chargers or other third party devices will damage the batteries and charging device."

*Once the solar-rechargeable batteries are removed from the Weather Station, slide the battery switch to the left position before replacing the batteries.

REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF BATTERIES TO BE INSTALLED, THE BATTERY SWITCH MUST BE IN THE LEFT POSITION WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE INSERTED.

If new solar rechargeable batteries are used, the battery switch should be moved to the right SOLAR position AFTER they are inserted in the unit.

REPLACE INCLUDED SOLAR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES WITH STANDARD ALKALINE BATTERIES

1.Remove the included solar rechargeable batteries from the compartment.

2.Slide the battery switch to the LEFT to select the alkaline battery.

3.Insert new, 2 x standard alkaline batteries into the compartment, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment or on the case).

4.Replace battery cover
