6. Replace the battery compartment cover.

3.2 Sensor Placement

For accurate outdoor temperature readings, proper placement of the wireless sensor is crucial.

1. Choose a location that is out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources (e.g., exhaust vents, windows). Direct sunlight can cause inaccurate high temperature readings.
2. Ensure the sensor is within 165 feet (50 meters) of the digital display unit. Obstacles like thick walls, metal siding, or large electronic devices can reduce the wireless range.
3. Mount the sensor securely using the integrated keyhole hanger or a screw (not included).

3.3 Initial Synchronization

Once batteries are installed in both units, the display unit will automatically begin searching for the outdoor sensor signal. This process may take a few minutes.

• The outdoor temperature will appear on the display once a connection is established.
• If the outdoor temperature does not appear, try relocating the sensor or display unit closer together, or reset both units by removing and reinserting batteries.
