To set up the Rain Gauge: NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain. SET UP BASE STATION NOTE Install batteries in the remote sensor before the base station matching the polarities (+ and -). Insert the batteries (2 x UM-3 / AA), matching the polarities (+ / -). Remove the fibre tape. To ensure a level plane: Put a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer performance. 1 3 4 5 2 NOTE Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire.

The timestamp is displayed accordingly in the Clock Area. WEATHER FORECAST The weather display in the top part of the screen shows the current weather and the weather forecast for the next 12-24 hours within a 30-50 km (19-31 mile) radius. Weather Forecast Area ICON DESCRIPTION Sunny Partly cloudy To clear the memories and timestamp for the temperature, humidity and dew point readings: In the Temperature or Humidity Area, press and hold MIN / MAX to clear the readings. NOTE The dew point advises at what temperature condensation will form. Snowy Cloudy Rainy TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY TREND TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY The weather station displays indoor and outdoor readings for: 1. Wind chill (current / minimum) and dew point level (current / maximum / minimum) The weather station can connect up to 3 remote sensors. The timestamp records the date and time when storing the temperature and humidity readings in memory. To select the temperature measurement unit: Press UNIT to select °C / °F. NOTE The unit of all temperature related displays will be changed simultaneously.
