Please bear this in mind when placing the transmitter. - Page 25 reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The transmission range is about 330 feet / 100 meters from the transmitter to the weather station (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up).
- Page 26 Note: Always ensures that the unit locks onto the screw head before releasing. POSITIONING THE THERMO-HYGRO TRANSMITTER: The thermo-hygro transmitter can be placed on any flat surface or wall mount using the bracket which doubles as a stand or wall mount base. To wall mount: Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
