Placing your BloomSky Your BloomSky Weather Station STORM will perform best when it’s fully exposed to the elements. Try to install your device where it will see direct sunlight and is as far as possible from tall obstacles (like trees, buildings, or fences), artificial wind sources (like ventilation ducts and air conditioning units), and moisture sources (such as garden irrigation systems and roof gutters). Accordingly: • Install your STORM in a location with a clear view of the sky. Trees, roof eaves, or other obstacles can cause inaccuracy on rainfall measurements. • Be sensitive to sprinklers triggering the precipitation sensor. • Try to place your BloomSky at least 10 feet away from any artificial wind and moisture source to aid in accurate reporting. • Finally, the higher your device, the better!

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Cet appareil est conforme à la section 15 des réglementations de la FCC. Le fonctionnement de l’appareil est sujetaux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas provoquer d’interférences néfastes, et (2) cet appareil doit tolérer les interférences reçues, y compris celles qui risquent de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable. Note: This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Please take attention that changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

BloomSky TM 10 of 11 www.bloomsky.com IC Rules This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
