Test Transmission from Proposed Location
It is very important to test reception from the proposed location before permanently
mounting the sensor and Sensor Transmitter.
Place the Sensor Transmitter at the intended mounting site, or have someone hold it
there, so you can walk around with the console/receiver for a few minutes. Rotating the
antenna may help to improve reception.
Test wireless reception anywhere you might want to use or mount your console/receiver
now or in the future. Take your time. If you aren't picking up strong signals where you
intend to place your receiver, better to move the Sensor Transmitter now than after it has
been mounted. Experiment.
If you have irregular terrain in the area, it may interfere with the signal. For example, if
the transmitter is mounted downhill from the console/receiver, the ground may block a
wide angle of the transmitted signal.
If You Do Not See Current Readings
First, if using with a console, verify that it is powered and is not in Setup Mode (exit
Setup Mode by pressing DONE and holding it for a moment). Then, on the transmitter,
ensure that the sensor cable is firmly plugged into the correct jack. Check that the
battery is properly installed.
Walk around the room with the receiver, standing for a few moments in various locations
to see if you are picking up signals.
If you don't see current readings no matter where you stand with the receiver, put your
transmitter in Test Mode. See "Test Mode" on page 9.
