3. Installation
When placed outdoors, choose a shady and dry place for the transmitter. Direct sunlight may
trigger incorrect measurement and continuous humidity damages the electronic components
needlessly.
Before the final installation, make sure that the measured values are transmitted from the trans-
mitter at the desired installation site to the base station in the living area.
Do not use the base station in the vicinity of radiators, other sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
Make sure to avoid the vicinity of any source of interference such as computer screens, TV sets or
solid metal objects. Within solid walls, especially ones with metal parts, the transmission range
(max. 70 m) can be reduced considerably.
4. Battery replacement
As soon as the corresponding battery symbol appears in the display, please change the batteries
of the base station (Fig.1-L) or transmitter (Fig.1-H).
Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between the outdoor transmitter and
the base station must be restored – so always restart both devices or start a manual transmitter
search.
