3.2 Installing the Remote Sensor
Insert 2 AA batteries (not included) into the remote sensor. Place the sensor outdoors in a shaded, dry location, protected from direct sunlight and rain, to ensure accurate readings. The sensor has a transmission range of up to 100 meters (330 feet).
3.3 Initial Synchronization and Settings
Upon first power-up, the main console will automatically search for the remote sensor and attempt to synchronize with the DCF atomic clock signal. This process may take several minutes. Ensure the console is not charging during initial setup for optimal signal reception.
- DCF Time Synchronization: The atomic clock automatically sets the time and date.
- Manual Settings: If automatic synchronization fails or for specific preferences, refer to the detailed instructions in the manual for setting time zone, date format, temperature units (℃/℉), and barometric pressure calibration.
3.4 Wall Mounting
The WM6 console is designed for wall mounting. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure it to a desired location. The wireless operation due to the built-in battery allows for a clean, cable-free installation.
