OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER 915 MHz RECEPTION
The outdoor temperature, humidity, wind data and rainfall are transmitted from the
Thermo-hygro sensor every 4.5 seconds. The Weather Center will then be
synchronized to the Thermo-hygro sensor to receiver outdoor data. The transmission
range (up to 330 feet) of the Outdoor Thermo-hygro sensor may be affected by the
ambient temperature. At cold temperatures the transmitting distance may be
decreased. Please keep this in mind when placing the transmitter.
If the outdoor data are not being received within 30 seconds after setting up (or the
outdoor display shows “- - -“ in the outdoor section of the Weather Center after
consecutive failed attempts during normal operation). Please check the following
points:
1. The distance of the Weather Center or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5
feet away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the Weather Center onto or in the immediate proximity of
metal doors or window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones, speakers, or cordless
phones operating on the same signal frequency (915 MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915 MHz signal frequency
can also cause interference.
5. “Visibility” of Weather Center and Thermo-hygro sensor (e.g. through a
window) increases the range.
Note:
When the 915 MHz signal is received, do not re-open the battery compartment cover
of either the transmitter or Weather Center, as the batteries may spring free from the
