Pull away the shower-proof case of the thermo-hrgro sensor to reveal the 2 sockets. (for the wind sensor and rain sensor)
Connect the attached cables :

Cable from wind speed sensor insert into the socket of wind direction sensor,
Cable from wind direction and cable from rain sensors to the corresponding sockets of the thermo-hygro sensor by clicking them into place. Make sure that rain and wind cables are connected to the correct sockets.

First insert the batteries of main unit, then insert the batteries of the outdoor sensor in 3 minutes after the main unit is powered on, to assure of the sensor data received well. In case of the outdoor sensor data received failure, please press ALARM key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the RF signal.
Every time the batteries are replaced, the main unit will loose all the weather data.
Every time the batteries are replaced, the thermo-hygro sensor will sychronize with the main unit again. You must press the ALARM
key for more than 3 seconds to synchronize the RF signal.
Other situation of failure of RF, please reset the sensor to and press ALARM receive again.
