• Never place the indoor unit in direct sunlight and keep it away from heat radiating objects (lights, heaters, etc.)
• For a strong reception of the radio controlled time signals, never place the indoor unit next to large metal surfaces or devices with strong electromagnetic fields.
• Even though the outdoor unit is suitable for placement outside, the unit isn't waterproof. Please place this unit on a spot protected against rain and wind.
• The distance between the indoor and outdoor unit should be no more than 50 meters.

Rechargeable batteries

You can choose to use normal (alkaline) or rechargeable batteries in both the indoor and outdoor unit. However, rechargeable batteries supply a lower voltage, decreasing the lifespan and accuracy of the WS-1150. Rechargeable batteries must be charged using an external charger.

Batteries outdoor unit

Because regular Alkaline batteries perform poorly or not at all at temperatures around or below 0°C, we don't recommend using standard Alkaline batteries for the outdoor unit. This is why we recommend inserting Lithium batteries into the outdoor unit, because these are developed for functioning within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. These batteries can be ordered from the customer service department of Alecto via telephone number 073 6411 355 (Netherlands) or 03 238 5666 (Belgium) or via internet www.alecto. nl. Lithium batteries with a capacity of 2900mAh have a life span of at least one year.
