Important Placement Guidelines
• To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place units out of direct
sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
• Display and outdoor sensor must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.
• To maximize wireless range, place units away from large metallic items, thick
walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• To prevent wireless interference, place both units at least 3 ft (.9 m) away
from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.)
Setup is Complete
The sensor will now synchronize with the display. It may take a few minutes for
synchronization to complete. Please refer to the troubleshooting section of this
manual if anything appears to be functioning improperly.

(165 feet maximum)
(50 meters)
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor. The
units must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m)
away from electronics that may interfere with the
wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,
computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries
in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do
not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE:
It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and
remove at least one battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for
a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
