Position Atomic Clock; Distance/Resistance/Interference - La Crosse Technology 513-1417V2 Faqs

MOUNT
Option 1:
 Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall.
 Place the remote sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside).
 Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.
Option 2:
 Insert the mounting screw through the front of the remote sensor and into the
wall.
 Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).

Position Atomic clock

 The atomic clock has a pull out stand to sit on a desk or table or can be wall
mounted.
 Place within range
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is 300 feet (91 meters).
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can
reduce the range.
 Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones,
wireless gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc.,
which can prevent signal reception.
 Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with
RF (radio frequency) signal reception.

Distance/Resistance/Interference

Distance:
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters)
between the remote sensor and the atomic clock. This range is in the open air
with ideal conditions.
 Consider what is in the signal path between the atomic clock and the remote
sensor.
 Avoid placing electronics in the signal path between the atomic clock and the
remote sensor.
Resistance:
 Obstacles such as walls, floors, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal
objects can reduce the range.
 When considering the distance between the remote sensor and the atomic clock
(300 feet open air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush,
or other obstruction in the signal path.
 Closer is better.
 Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
 Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
 Do not mount the remote sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
