flowing through doors, windows or ventilation openings.

The outside temperature sensor is fitted to the most exposed outside
wall and the coldest in the building (north or north west) in such a way
as not to be directly influenced by solar radiation. It must be easily
accessible.

Choose an location which allows good radio reception.

Reception problems may occur, depending on the
construction materials used in the house (thickness of
walls or floors, type of materials used). It is therefore
necessary to find the optimal location.
To do so:
- Press the button on the outside temperature sensor.
- Check that the light on the transmitter/receiver box flashes every 3
seconds.
- To exit this mode, press the button on the outside temperature
sensor.
