3. Setup and Installation

Proper placement of your clock and thermometer is crucial for accurate temperature readings and optimal performance. Follow these guidelines for installation:

Choose Location: Select a location that is outside of direct sunlight and away from any direct heat sources (e.g., vents, radiators, outdoor grills). This helps ensure the thermometer provides accurate ambient temperature readings.
Prepare Mounting Surface: A 1-1/2 inch #8 screw is required for mounting. Drive the screw into the desired surface, leaving approximately ½ inch of the screw protruding.
Mount Unit: Align the built-in hanger on the back of the clock/thermometer with the protruding screw. Slide the unit down until it is firmly seated and secure against the surface.
