Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next
to the Temperature Station for 2 hours.
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperature should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat
of cold.
