INSTALLATION

The outdoor unit can be fastened outside in an open place to a horizontal object, e.g. the top of a wall, beam or board. The rain tray must stand firm so that the wind has no influence.
Advice, first register the outdoor unit with the indoor unit and only then place it in its permanent location outdoors. The outdoor unit records the amount of rain and measures the outside temperature. Because the temperature sensor is located in the plastic housing, it is possible that when the tray is in full sunlight, the indicated temperature reads higher than the actual temperature.

Remove the upper part of the base plate.

Once the lid has been removed, the battery cover can be removed.

Insert the batteries 2 x AAA 1.5V Alkaline in the battery compartment.

Indoor unit:
Insert 2 AAA 1.5-volt alkaline batteries with the correct polarity in the battery compartment of the indoor unit. The indoor unit will beep after installation.
