Page 15: Display Console
Wireless communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble free wireless communication. Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI). Keep the console several feet away from computer monitors and TVs. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). If you have other devices operating on the same frequency band as your indoor and/or outdoor sensors and experience intermittent communication between sensor and console, try turning off these other devices for troubleshooting purposes. - Page 16 Figure 13: Display console front and back Reference Figure 14. (1) Unfold the desk stand and place the console 5 to 10 feet away from the outdoor sensor. (2) Remove the battery door on the back of the console and insert 2 x AA good quality Alkaline or Lithium batteries per Figure 14.
