PLACEMENT

Now that setup is complete, you must choose a location to place the outdoor sensor and the display unit. The sensor MUST be placed less than 165 feet (50 m) away from the display unit.

This wireless weather forecaster uses radio frequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Place both units at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.) or objects that may interfere with the wireless communication (large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc.).

This weather station has a patented 14-day “Learning Mode” calibration process.

Once the Learning Mode process is complete, the Learning Mode icon will disappear from the display unit and the weather forecast is ready for superior operation.
