MOUNTING Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor weather station is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the indoor weather station. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the remote temperature sensor.
