placement of the Monitor is critical to the accuracy and performance of the
product.
Monitor Placement

stands upright for tabletop use or is wall-mountable.
Place the Monitor outside to observe outdoor conditions. The
Monitor is water-resistant and designed for general outdoor
use. However, to extend its life, place the Monitor in an area
protected from direct weather elements.
Hang the Monitor using the integrated keyhole, or by using string (not
included) to hang it from a suitable location, like a well-covered tree branch.
The best location is 4 to 8 feet (1.2 - 2.4 meters) above ground with permanent
shade and plenty of fresh air to circulate around the Monitor.
Important Placement Guidelines
• Monitor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of companion unit (sold separately).
MAXIMIZE WIRELESS RANGE
Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other
objects that may limit wireless communication.
PREVENT WIRELESS INTERFERENCE
Place both units at least 3 feet (90 cm) away from electronic devices (TV,
computer, microwave, radio, etc.).
LOCATE AWAY FROM HEAT SOURCES
To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place Monitor out of direct
sunlight and away from any heat sources.
LOCATE AWAY FROM HUMIDITY SOURCES
To ensure accurate humidity measurement, locate Monitor away from humidity
sources. Avoid installing the Monitor near indoor pools, spas, or other bodies
of water. Water sources may impact humidity accuracy.
LOCATE AWAY FROM SPRINKLER HEADS
