BEFORE YOU START

IMPORTANT!

1. Insert batteries for the main unit before doing so for the remote sensor.
2. Place the main unit as close as possible to the remote unit.
3. Position the remote unit and main unit within the effective transmission range.

When changing batteries always change batteries in the main unit as well as all remote units and replace them in the correct order, so the remote connection can be re-established. If batteries are exchanged in only one of the devices (i.e. the remote sensor) the signal can’t be received or can’t be received correctly.
Note, that the effective range is vastly affected by building materials and position of the main and remote units. Due to external influences (various RC devices and other sources of interference), the maximum distance can be greatly reduced. In such cases we suggest to position the main unit and the remote sensor at other places. Sometimes all it takes is a relocation of one of these components of a few inches!

4. The icon will flash on the screen when the rainstorm comes.

BAROMETRIC / ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
Atmospheric Pressure is the pressure at any location of the Earth caused by the weight of the column of air above it. One atmospheric pressure refers to the average pressure and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Meteorologists use barometers to measure atmospheric pressure. Since variation in atmospheric pressure greatly affected by weather, it is possible to forecast the weather by measuring the changes in pressure.

Select display mode

1. Press and hold button for 2 seconds to enter atmospheric pressure setting mode.
2. Use or button to select between absolute and relative
   atmospheric pressure:
   • ABSOLUTE the absolute atmospheric pressure of your location
   • RELATIVE the relative atmospheric pressure based on the sea level
