Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat surface. This will
insure optimum reception.

3.2 Wireless Reception Considerations

Wireless signals are impacted by distance, interference (other weather stations, wireless phones,
wireless routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers, such as walls. In general,
wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth (down a hill, for example).
The following is a table of reception loss vs. the transmission medium. Each "wall" or obstruction
decreases the transmission range by the factor shown below.

Glass (untreated)
Plastics
Wood
Brick

5 Console Operation

Note: The console has four keys for easy operation: SET key, ALARM key, MIN/MAX key and
+ key. There are four program modes: Quick Display Mode, Set Mode, Alarm Mode and Min/Max
Mode.
Any program mode can be exited at any time by either pressing the SNOOZE/LIGHT key (on the top
of the display console), or waiting for the 10-second time-out to take effect.
