• Depending on the base location, there is a possiblity that the correct temperature and

humidity can't be displayed.

• Do not place any objects around the base.

• The base should be placed in a well-ventilated area.

• The location should be close to both a phone jack and a continuous power outlet (one which

is not connected to a switch).

• The base and handset should be kept away from sources of electrical noise such as motors,

microwave ovens, and fluorescent lighting.

• The base can be placed on a desk, tabletop, or mounted on a standard wall plate.

Outdoor Weather Sensor

The outdoor weather sensor monitors the outdoor temperature, air pressure, and humidity and sends

the received data to the base. Proper installation of outdoor weather sensors improves the accuracy

of the readings. Excessive heat, wind, and moisture can affect the sensor's readings. Follow the

guidelines below to get the most accurate information from your outdoor weather sensor:

• Do not mount the sensor in direct sunlight. Direct sunlight on the sensor will cause an

artificially high temperature reading.

• Do not mount the sensor where it will be exposed to rain and snow. Moisture on the sensor

may affect the temperature and humidity readings.

• Do not mount the sensor in the draft of an exhaust vent (e.g., from a heater, stove, or dryer).

• Do not mount the sensor above surfaces that radiate a lot of heat (e.g., bare concrete or blacktop). If

you can feel the temperature increase as you cross the surface, you should not put the sensor there.

• Try to avoid mounting the sensor close to plants or trees.

• Mount the sensor in a location where the airflow is representative of the surrounding area. If

the location of the sensor is unusually breezy or unusually still compared to the surrounding

area, the readings may be affected.

• Mount the sensor at least 60 inches above the ground.

• Mount the sensor 24 to 36 inches away from roof eaves, doors, or windows.

• If you are mounting the sensor above plants, the plants should be no higher than 10 inches above the ground.

• If your region gets snow, mounts the sensor at least 24 inches above the average maximum snow level.

• In the US and Canada, the north side of the building is considered the best location due to the angle of the sun.

B. Install the Rechargeable Battery Pack into the Handset

The handset is powered by a rechargeable battery pack.

The battery recharges automatically when the handset is

placed in the base unit.

the finger indention for a better grip) and slide the

cover downward to remove.

2) Plug the battery pack connector (red & black wires)

into the jack inside the battery compartment. (The

only one way.) Match the wire colors to the polarity

label in the battery compartment, connect the

battery and listen for a click to insure connection.

3) Make sure you have a good connection by slightly

pulling on the battery wires. If the connection is

secure, the battery jack will remain in place.

4) Place the battery case cover back in the handset by

sliding it upwards until it clicks into place.

4) Replace the cover and tighten the knob with a screwdriver

or a coin.

5) Place the handset in the base unit with the keypad

facing forward. Set up the outdoor weather sensor

according to page 7.

6) Make sure the charge/in use LED illuminates.

If the LED does not illuminate, check to see that the

AC adapter is plugged in and the handset makes good

contact with the base charging contacts.

Charge your handset at least 15-20 hours before plugging into the phone line.

7) Once the handset battery pack is fully charged,

connect the telephone line cord to the TEL LINE

jack and a telephone outlet.

If your telephone outlet isn't modular, contact your

telephone company for assistance.

and prompt you to set

the time. See "A. Set

the Time" on page 14

for the instructions on

how to set the time.

•Once the outdoor

temperature and

humidity appear on

the base display, do

not change the

channel unless you

replace the batteries.

•Do not place the power

cord where it creates a

trip hazard or where it

could become chafed

and create a fire or

electrical hazard.

Direct wall mounting

If you don't have a standard wall plate, you can mount your phone

directly to the wall. Before doing this, consider the following:

• Avoid electrical cables, pipes, or other items behind the mounting

location that could cause a hazard when inserting screws into the

wall.

• Try to mount your phone within 5 feet of a working phone jack to

avoid excessive cord lengths.

• Make sure the wall material is capable of supporting the weight of

the base and handset.

• Use #10 screws (minimum length of 1-3/8 inches) with anchoring

devices suitable for the wall material where the base unit will be

placed.

1) Insert two mounting screws into the wall, (with their appropriate anchoring device), 3-

15/16 inches apart. Allow about 1/8 of an inch between the wall and screw heads for

mounting the phone.

2) Refer to steps 1 through 6 on page 12 to mount the telephone.
