TROUBLESHOOTING

No wireless sensor or rain gauge reception

| IMPORTANT: TAKE OUT THE INSERT CARD BEFORE USING.

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

•  Relocate the display and/or the rain gauge. The units must be within 200 ft (60 m) of each other.

•  Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet

(.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with

the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).

•  Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries

in sensor when temperature is below

-4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy-duty or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Display screen not working| •  Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may need to be replaced.

Outdoor temperature and/or humidity flashing or showing dashes

| Flashing of the outdoor temperature and/or humidity is generally an indication of wireless interference.

1.  Bring the rain gauge and display indoors and

remove at least one battery from each.

2.  Reinstall the battery in the rain gauge.

3.  Reinstall the battery in the display.

4.  Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for a few minutes to gain a strong

connection.

Inaccurate temperature or humidity| •  Make sure both the display and rain gauge are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents.

•  Make sure the display is positioned away from moisture sources.

Can the rain gauge

remain outdoors in freezing temperatures?

| No, the rain gauge should be brought indoors when there is a possibility of freezing temperatures. Water expands when it freezes. If any water is left within the rain gauge during a freeze, it can crack the plastic and cause permanent damage.
