Frequently Asked Questions - 5153 Taylor

How do I mount the Taylor 5153 thermometer?

You can mount it using the included bracket: attach the bracket to a window frame with two No.6 screws, then push the thermometer onto the bracket so the rectangular slots engage the tabs on the back. Alternatively, you can bend the bracket over a table edge for an angled position, or use the hanger on the back for flat-surface mounting. Avoid direct sunlight for accurate readings.
