Placement for Maximum Accuracy

Proper placement of both the display and the 5-in-1 sensor is crucial for accuracy and performance.

Display Placement:

Place the display in a dry area free of dirt and dust. To ensure accurate temperature measurement, place it out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources or vents. The display can be used on a tabletop or mounted on a wall.

Important Placement Guidelines:

• Display and sensor must be within 330 feet (100 m) of each other.
• Maximize Wireless Range: Place units away from large metallic items, thick walls, metal surfaces, or other objects that may limit wireless communication.
• Prevent Wireless Interference: Place both units at least 3 feet (0.9 m) away from electronic devices (TV, computer, microwave, radio, etc.).

Operation
