Questions to check before buying	Delivered sensor/hub revision and battery replacement terms require confirmation. No field accuracy, forecast-quality or installation test has been performed.	Exact indoor transmitter part differs between the store comparison matrix and model manual. No numeric radio range, channel-capacity or comparative accuracy claim is inferred. The linked manual produced different version labels in extracted text and the rendered parts page; confirm the current manual before installation.
