SETUP
Battery Choice & Temperature RangeExtended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4°F / -20°C ) can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low-temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher operating voltages.
PLEASE DISPOSE OF OLD OR DEFECTIVE BATTERIES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLYSAFE WAY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR LOCAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.

This wireless thermometer uses radiofrequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, computers, etc. ) or objects that may interfere with the wireless communication ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. )
Placement of Main UnitPlace the main unit in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To help ensure an accurate indoor temperature measurement, be sure to place the main unit out of direct sunlight, and away from any heat sources or vents in your home. There are 2 placement options for the main unit. You may hang the main unit on a wall using the integrated hang hole. Alternatively, you may place the main unit on a tabletop or other flat surface.
Placement of Sensor
The wireless sensor MUST BE PLACED OUTDOORS to observe outdoor temperatures. The wireless sensor must be placed less than165 feet from the main unit.
The wireless sensor is water-resistant and is designed for general outdoor use. However, to extend the life of the product, place the wireless sensor in an area protected from direct weather elements. To ensure an accurate outdoor temperature measurement, be sure the wireless sensor is placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources.
There are 2 placement options for the wireless sensor. You may hang it on a wall using one of the two integrated hang holes, or use string (not included) to hang it from a suitable location like a well-covered tree branch.
