Positioning tips:
-

-
The outdoor unit is not waterproof. Always 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.
-
De transmission range can be affected by nearby devices transmitting on 433.92 MHz. The range also depends on obstacles. Concrete walls between the outdoor and indoor unit will reduce the transmission range more than plaster walls.Rechargeable batteries: You can choose to use normal (alkaline) or rechargeable batteries in both the indoor and outdoor unit. However, rechargeable batteriesprovide a lower voltage, reducing the lifespan and accuracy of the WS-1050. Rechargeable batteries must be charged using an external charger.
