obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: A Professional Weather Center with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls

• After batteries are installed, there will be synchronization between Weather Center and the sensor. At this time, the signal reception icon will be blinking. When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Center, the icon will be switched on. (If it is not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is in pr

Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the thermo-hygro sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first 30 seconds of power being supplied to it. BATTERY CHANGE: It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units every 24 months to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. Please participate
