Slide open battery door 2 Install the battery, matching polarity (+/-)
Assign a channel by sliding the selection switch to the appropriate channel (1,2,3) location. If installing additional sensors, make sure you assign a different channel for each sensor.
Press the reset button
Before placing the sensor outdoors, please verify communication with the main unit by placing the sensor next to the base unit during this setup process.

Install the required number of batteries in the battery compartment located on the back of each main unit.
There are two types of signals the main unit will receive:
Temperature Signal
After installing the batteries, the main unit will automatically search for the signal from the wireless sensor. Once a temperature reading is displayed on the LCD screen, communication is now established.
Atomic Clock Signal
Atomic clock synchronization will automatically occur after installing the batteries. Reception takes 2-10 minutes. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to retrieve a valid signal.
Please monitor atomic clock icon ( ) on the bottom part of the LCD display next to the time. This icon indicates the status of the clock reception signal .

FOR THE RAIN AND TEMPERATURE STATION

Remove the two base screws located on the bottom rim of the rain gauge and slide the hood cover off to expose the battery compartment.
Locate the battery compartment and remove the eight screws that secure the cover. Install two AA batteries.
Remove the packing tape from the tipping funnel.
Press the RESET button.
Press the SEARCH button on the main unit to initiate a wireless sensor search.
Before proceeding to install the rain gauge outside, please verify communication to the main base station.
Tilt the tipping funnel on the rain gauge several times and verify a numerical reading on the base unit ( ). Numerical reading will take approximately 30-45 seconds to transmit to the main unit.
Press and hold the SINCE button for two seconds. The total rainfall and today’s rainfall will be reset to zero.
Secure the battery cover with eight screws.
After verifying the connection to the base station, place the rain gauge outside on a level surface and place a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level. You can adjust the level when securing the rain gauge on the level screws by using the mounting screws.
To complete the installation, slide the hood cover on and secure it with two base screws located on the bottom rim of the rain gauge. Place the filter in the cup to prevent leaves or other debris from blocking water from entering the cup.

Find a location for the temperature and humidity sensor
Temperature and thermo-humidity sensors should be located in areas protected from sunlight and rain. Mount the sensor under a covered location like a roof overhang or the eaves. This will ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings.
Find a location for the wireless rain gauge
The wireless rain gauge should be placed on a flat and level surface. The location must be away from anything that may block rainfall from entering the rain collector. The rain gauge should be elevated off the ground. Placing your rain gauge on your outside deck would be an ideal location.
The distance between the main unit and the remote sensor should not be greater than 100 feet.
