Setup and Installation

Choose a Location: Select a flat surface outside your window or doorway that is easily visible from inside. For accurate readings, choose a location that is shaded from direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents.
Position the Bracket: Hold the aluminum offset mounting bracket against the chosen surface. Ensure the thermometer, when attached, will be positioned for optimal viewing and away from the window glass to prevent inaccurate readings due to heat transfer.
Mark Drill Holes: Use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting screws through the holes in the bracket.
Install Screws: Using appropriate tools, install the provided mounting screws into the marked positions. Do not tighten completely at this stage.
Attach Thermometer: Slide the thermometer onto the mounting bracket. The bracket is designed to hold the thermometer securely.

Operation

The Taylor Mountable Outdoor Window Thermometer is an analog device that displays temperature using a liquid-filled tube. To read the temperature:

Observe the red indicator line within the thermometer tube.
Align the top of the red line with the corresponding temperature scale (Fahrenheit on the left, Celsius on the right).
Read the temperature value indicated by the red line. The bold graphics are designed for easy viewing from a distance.

Ensure the thermometer is not exposed to direct sunlight or other heat sources, as this can lead to inaccurate readings. The offset bracket helps position the thermometer away from the window glass for more precise ambient temperature measurement.

Maintenance

Cleaning: Wipe the thermometer and bracket with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish or markings.
Inspection: Periodically check the mounting screws to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Weather Resistance: The thermometer is designed with weather-resistant and rustproof components for outdoor durability.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Inaccurate temperature reading	Direct sunlight exposure; proximity to heat/cold source (e.g., window glass, vent); thermometer liquid column separation.	Relocate the thermometer to a shaded area. Ensure it is not too close to the window glass. Gently tap the thermometer to reseat the liquid column if it appears separated.
Thermometer falls from mounting	Loose mounting screws; improper installation.	Ensure all mounting screws are securely tightened. Re-install if necessary, following the setup instructions carefully.
Difficulty reading temperature	Poor viewing angle; dirt/debris on glass.	Adjust the viewing angle or reposition the thermometer. Clean the glass surface with a soft, damp cloth.
