  • Page 12: Mounting

    MOUNTING Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor weather station and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours.
  • Page 13 B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE 1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat. 2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.
