BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?

Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensors and as backup in
your clock.
Batteries with an expiration date of 2028, were manufactured in 2018.
We recommend batteries with an expiration date 6 years in advance of the current year for
best performance.
A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for best performance.
Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensors. Alkaline batteries for the clock.
Your M76171 station comes with:
SH006T 433MHz RF.

WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?

SH006T: 2 "AAA" batteries
M76171: 5V/1A USB Power Cord (LX050100)
Optional: 2 "AAA" LR3 Batteries

SET UP: HOW DO I SENT UP MY STATION?

1. Insert 2-AAA batteries into your Outdoor Sensor.
2. Insert the 5.0 volt USB power cord into an outlet, then into the side of
1. your Weather Station. Optional: Insert 2-AAA batteries into your station.
2. Adjust time and date settings on the station.
3. Once the Outdoor Sensor is reading to your station, place it outside in a
4. shaded location.

MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?

• Watch sensor mounting video:
Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun and in a
well ventilated area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
