DWS-130SP-ENG.qxd 10/12/04 11:36 AM Page 9 Where can I mount the remote sensor? To get accurate readings and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you mount it out of direct sunlight and rain. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but large volumes of soaking rain may. To guard against this, we recommend that you mount it under the eve of your house, your garage or any other suitable place that will keep it out of direct sun and rain. Outdoor Temperature Reading shows " - - " This is usually an indication that the channel selector (located in the top left corner of the home receiver) is set incorrectly to receive the signal from the remote sensor. If you have only one remote sensor, ensure that the channel selector is set to "1". To change the channel, press the "channel" button located on the front of the home receiver. The home receiver may also be "scrolling" - looking for sensor readings from more than one remote sensor. This home receiver can support up to three remote sensors (only one is included). If it is looking for more than one remote sensor, a " " icon will appear below the channel designator. Again, to select a reading from just one remote sensor, press the "channel" button to remove the scroll icon and ensure that the channel selected now reads "1".
