Distance: It may also be t hat the distance betwe en the transmitter and
the receiver is too great or has too many obsta cles between the units t o
allow the signa l to reach the transmitt er.
The maximum transm ission range is 330 feet in a straight line (line of
sight). Trees, w alls, windows, and obs tructions will red uce transmission
range by as much as half. (An o bstruction would incl ude anything that is
in the line of sight like a roof, wall s, floors, ceiling s, trees, etc.). Certai n
building materials such a s glass, stucco, and metal framework or siding,
can greatly reduce the ran ge.
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the lif e of your
sensor, we recommend t hat you place the sens or in a sheltered area
out of the sun and direct ra in. Fog and mist wi ll not affect the sensor,
but a soaking in wat er may.
Sensor is wet: If your sensor becomes soaked, bring t he unit inside,
remove the batteries and allow the unit t o dry overnight; then resta rt the
station using the Proper Restart instruct ions. You can mount the sensor
outside under an ea ve of your house or any ot her suitable place t hat will
keep it out of the s un and rain. Do not w rap the sensor in plastic or seal
it in a plastic bag. You may also put it in a two-sid ed bird feeder with a
roof.
Restart: Remove bat teries from all units and follow the directio ns in the
Proper Restart secti on above.
