HOW TO SET UP YOUR WIRELESS THERMOMETER
What You’ll Need (Not Included)
-
Two AA batteries for the Wireless Outdoor Sensor
Be sure to use high-quality alkaline batteries. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Only use Lithium batteries when the outdoor temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC for extended periods of time. In general, alkaline batteries perform poorly in very cold weather. -
Three AAA batteries for the Indoor Display
Be sure to use high-quality alkaline batteries. Lithium, heavy duty, and rechargeable batteries are not recommended. -

STEP 4
-
Place Indoor Display And Wireless Outdoor Sensor
Both devices are sensitive to their surrounding environment and location. Proper placement is required for accurate readings and wireless communication. -
Important Location Guidelines For Wireless Communication
The following guidelines are very important to ensure both devices have signal strength to connect wirelessly. -
Locate within 165 feet (50 meters) of each other
If located farther away, the devices may have trouble connecting. -
Away from large solid objects
Thick walls, metal surfaces, concrete, or other objects may limit wireless communication. -
At least 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from electronic devices
Televisions, computers, microwaves, radios, and other electronic devices may cause wireless interference.
-
-
Where to Place the Indoor Display
Be sure to remove the protective film from its LCD screen, locate the tab and peel off the film.- Place on a flat surface or mount to a solid wall surface in dry area free of dirt and dust
- Keep out of direct sunlight
- Keep away from heat sources
Where to Place the Wireless Outdoor Sensor
-
In a well-shaded area, away from direct sunlight
When placed in direct sunlight, the heat from the sun may cause the temperature readings to be higher than the actual ambient air temperature. The best location is commonly on the north side of your home. -
4 to 8 feet (1. 2 to 2.4 meters) above the ground Too low and it will pick up excess heat from the ground. Too high and it will cool from the wind.
-
In an area that has good airflow
This keeps the air circulating freely around the sensor. If placed too close to a solid object, the readings may not be accurate. -
Above a natural (grassy or dirt) surface
Concrete, pavement, and stone absorb heat and will impact readings. -
Protected from direct weather elements
The sensor is water-resistant and for general outdoor use. Weather elements, such as rain or snow, or a damp or excessively humid area, may damage the device.
How to Mount the Wireless Outdoor Sensor
-
Using the mounting hanger:
attach a string (not included) to its mounting hanger and secure string to a solid object, such as a tree branch. -
STEP 5
Verify Wireless Connection and Signal Strength- Verify the Indoor Display shows the Outdoor Conditions
- After placing the Wireless Outdoor Sensor, it may take up to five (5) minutes to display the Outdoor Conditions.
- Verify the Wireless Outdoor Sensor red LED flashes every 30 seconds, which indicates readings are being sent to the Indoor Display.
- From the Indoor Display, verify the Wireless Outdoor Sensor signal strength.

TROUBLESHOOTING
__****PROBLEM ** | CAUSE | CORRECTION
**
---|---|---
No bars shown
| No wireless connection between devices| Verify device locations and low battery indicator:
• Verify the devices are within 165 feet (50 meters) of each other. You may need to relocate the Indoor Display or Wireless Outdoor Sensor to get a better signal strength.
• Verify both devices are located 3 feet (0.9 meters) away from electronics that may interfere with their wireless signal, such as televisions, microwaves, or computers.
• If a low battery indicator is shown, replace the device batteries. Be sure to use high-quality alkaline batteries. Heavy duty or rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Only use Lithium batteries in the Wireless Outdoor Sensor when the outdoor temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC for extended periods of time.
When batteries are replaced, it may take up to five (5) minutes for the devices to establish a wireless connection. When connected, the Indoor Display will show the Outdoor Conditions.
Outdoor Conditions readings are flashing or showing dashes (—)| Wireless interference or loss of signal| Reset devices’ wireless connection:
1. Bring the Wireless Outdoor Sensor indoors and place it within 2 feet (0.6 meters) from the Indoor Display.
2. Remove one battery from both devices.
3. Reinsert the Wireless Outdoor Sensor battery.
4. Reinsert the Indoor Display battery. The display searches for and wirelessly connects to the Wireless Outdoor Sensor.
5. Let the devices sit within a couple of feet of each other for approximately five (5) minutes to establish a strong wireless connection.
Inaccurate temperature| Device location affecting its readings| Verify both devices are not located:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources such as vents, stoves, or other elements that emit heat.
• On or near a window or other uninsulated surface, such as a brick wall, that can get much warmer or cooler.
• In a confined location where the air may not circulate enough.
Indoor Display is blank| No battery power| Verify batteries are installed correctly. You may need to replace the batteries.
Note
When the Indoor Display batteries are replaced or after a loss of battery power, you will need to reset its time, date, and temperature units.
When batteries are replaced or after a loss of battery power, it may take up to five (5) minutes for the devices to reestablish their wireless connection. When
connected, the Indoor Display will show the Outdoor Conditions and the Wireless Outdoor Sensor red LED
