heeding the placement instructions above, you should also attempt to mount
the unit under cover (eve or awning or similar).
To mount or hang the unit on a wall or wood beam:
Use a screw or nail to affix the remote sensor to the wall, as shown on
the left side of Figure 20, or
Hang the remote sensor using a string, as shown in right side of Figure

Figure 20: Indoor sensor mounting
Note: Make sure the sensor is mounted vertically and not lying down on a flat
surface. This will insure optimum reception. Wireless signals are impacted
by distance, interference (other weather stations, wireless phones, wireless
routers, TVs and computer monitors), and transmission barriers, such as
walls. In general, wireless signals will not penetrate solid metal and earth
(down a hill, for example).
4.5 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Wireless (RF) communication is susceptible to interference, distance, walls
and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for trouble
free wireless communication between both sensor packages and the base
unit:
