Placement

Weather Station Placement

Once setup is complete, choose a suitable location to place the indoor display console and outdoor sensor:

Placement of Display Console

Place the display console in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. Console stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable. Adjust display tilt to your preferred viewing angle.

Placement of Sensor

The sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor temperatures. Sensor must be placed less than 330 ft (100 m) from the display console. Sensor is water resistant and is designed for general outdoor use, however, to extend its life place the sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

There are 2 placement options for the sensor: Hang using the integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.

Prevent Wireless Interference

This weather station uses wireless radio frequency for data communication, which is susceptible to interference from electronics, large metallic items and thick walls. To prevent interference, place both the display console and the sensor at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from appliances (TV, microwave, radios, etc.), large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc.

USE

Precision Forecasting

Initial Learning Mode

The forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures for the first few hours after powering on. During this initial learning mode, the weather station will observe changes in your weather patterns and gather the data needed to generate your precision forecast.

Forecast Display

Precision Forecasting provides the weather forecast for the next 4-hour, 4 to 8-hour, and 8 to 12-hour time periods. Precision Forecasting continuously analyzes your sensor data and updates the forecast icons and high/low temperatures accordingly.

The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather conditions. The moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.

Below is an example of a few forecast icons:

Stormy/Windy Cloudy Clear
