POWER UP THE WI-FI WEATHER STATION

Insert the 5V 1.2A AC/DC adaptor (included) to an AC wall outlet and then the DC jack to the back of your clock to power your clock.
Remark: make sure 5V~ adaptor is being connected. Using adaptors with higher voltage (e.g. 6V – 9V) will damage your clock

INSTALL THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER

After you install batteries to the wireless outdoor transmitter, your weather station will receive outdoor temperature from it in few seconds. Then place your outdoor transmitter in a dry and shaded area outdoor.

The temperatures readings will get stable and become more accurate after the unit is powered up for around 30 minutes.

REMARKS:
Keep in mind that your outdoor transmitter has a 50-meter open air transmission with no obstructions.
Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Insert the holder to the bottom of the outdoor transmitter for desktop or insert it to the back of the transmitter for wall mount purpose.
