NOTE: When replacing the batteries for the wireless sensor, remove the batteries from
the sensor and clear that sensor's channel on the main unit by pressing and holding the

4 CHOOSE WHERE TO PLACE THE MAIN UNITS and WIRELESS SENSOR
Main Unit/Companion: Choose wall mount or table-top placement.
• Choose a location for each unit that is at least 10 feet away from other electronic
devices that may interfere with the wireless signal.
• Wall mounting: Use the mounting slot on the back of each unit to hang on the wall.
• Table-top placement: Snap the base support to the main unit by inserting the support's
two barbed prongs into holes on the bottom edge of the main unit. The companion has
an integrated fold-out stand for table-top placement.
Wireless Sensor: When placing the sensor, consider these things:
• Although the sensor is designed for outdoor use, placement in a protected area will
prolong its life.
• Mounting: Use the mounting slot on the back of the unit to hang it from a wall or
vertical surface.
• The sensor must be within 100 feet (30 meters) of each of the main units.
• The sensor is resistant to weather and to water. It is NOT WATERPROOF.
• Prolonged exposure to cold weather may cause damage to the LCD panel.
• Wireless sensor must be placed outdoors to observe outdoor temperatures and
humidity.
