Note: Batteries are not included. We recommend Alkaline (which operate to 4 °F) or Lithium batteries (for
operation to -40 °F) are recommended.
Note: AC adapter is included. The adapter is a switching-type adapter and can generate a small amount of
electrical interference with the RF reception in the tablet, when placed too close to the tablet. Please keep
the tablet display at least 2 ft. or 0.5 m away from the power adapter to ensure best RF reception from the
outdoor sensor package.
