4 87 feet. Factoring i n the 10 foot room , this leaves a max imum of 77 feet of remaining signal range. This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall w ith non- metallic siding; how ever certain materi als can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some ty pes of glass can reduce signal range by as much as ¾ or more, compared [...]

5 The intelligent weather sta tion uses 3 x AA (alkaline recomm ended) batteries.
