A:  Yes, I had a similar one on my patio for 15+ years but it sadly died recently.

A:  The hydrometer did not work on the one that I bought the needle wouldn't move so I returned it. I think it is waterproof tho.

A:  Yes, it takes 10 seconds to hang. I would not count on the thermometer, it’s VERY sensitive to sunlight. A little sun and it will read 90 even though it’s 75 out.

A:  Yes I hung it under patio myself, it looks almost like it been there for year’s

A:  Florida...I purchased my clock 3/2019 my 1 yr warranty is expired. I hung the clock on my house outside wall under a small overhang facing the pool area. The clock itself held up without any issues, however the Clock's face paper just started curling up from the bottom. I'm going to try and open the clock up to maybe glue it down to save the clock. I'm so disappointed in this visual flaw in this design, because I do love the attractiveness and big size of this clock. Maybe its just too humid in Florida for this clock, I really don't know. In any event, My answer to your question is … Yes and No.

A:  Ours is on our back lanai under cover

A:  I think you have to wait a couple days for it to adjust itself. I ended up returning the one I bought.

A:  Hello Bob, Analog thermometers may need to be calibrated from time to time or even just after purchasing the product. The pointer may move during shipping, causing the thermometer to read inaccurately. If the thermometer is reading incorrectly, compare the reading to a known accurate thermometer. Let both units adjust for at least three hours. Depending on the product, there may be a knob or screw on the back of the thermometer to calibrate the temperature. If the new thermometer continues to read inaccurately, adjust the pointer by turning knob or screw on the back of the unit in the appropriate direction. If there is no knob or screw for calibration, you will need to adjust the pointer by hand. If the temperature reading is too low, slowly push the needle up to the highest temperature and then slowly let it follow your finger back down until the needle stops on its own. Never let the needle swing back wildly on its own as this can permanently damage the thermometer. When the needle stops, it will stop a degree or two higher than where it was originally set. Repeat this process until the needle stops at an accurate temperature reading. If the thermometer is too high, follow this same process only pushing the needle down to the lowest temperature. NOTE: Some thermometers may not allow easy access to the pointer. Disassembling may damage the thermometer or void the warranty, and is not recommended.

A:  The clock just 'reads' the temperature. It does require lithium batteries for outdoor use.

A:  You just put a nail or screw in the wall your mounting it to. There is a pear shape mounting hole on the back. The nail or screw head slides in the lower larger hole and the clock slides down. The head of the nail or screw will slide up to the smaller hole. So the clock will be secure on the wall and won't fall off. It only takes a couple minutes it's real easy. Unfortunately the humidifier was defective and didn't work on my clock. I kept it on the wall for a week and it never adjusted so I returned it and bought a different clock. Maybe I just got a defective one. Hope that helps. Good luck.

A:  It was very easy to hang with a plastic key hole on the back.
