BATTERY INSTALLATION
REMOTE RAIN GAUGE
• Unlock the funnel-shaped top on the rain gauge by
turning both knobs on the sides in an anti-clockwise
direction.
• Remove the funnel-shaped top lifting it off the rain
gauge bucket.
• Remove 7 small screws from the battery compartment

HOW TO USE THE TABLE STAND
The main unit has a removable table stand that supports it
on the flat surface.
Attach table stand to the bottom of the main unit in the slots
provided.
The main unit can also be mounted on the wall using the
recessed screw hole. The table stand must be removed prior
to mounting. The remote temperature sensor can be similarly
mounted or placed on a flat surface.
GETTING STARTED
After batteries are installed; remote temperature sensor will
transmit temperature readings at about 45 second intervals.
The remote rain gauge will transmit rainfall data at about
183 second intervals. The main unit may take up to two
minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon successful
reception, the rainfall reading (0.00) will appear on the top
line of the main unit’s display and the remote temperature
will appear on the line below. The main unit will automatically
update readings at 45-second intervals.
If no signals received from the remote temperature sensor
within two minutes, dashes [ ] will be displayed.
Press and hold the front panel DOWN ( ) button on the
main unit for two seconds or until Rain symbol will start
flashing, to initiate a signal search for the remote rainfall.
Press and hold the back panel DOWN ( ) button on the
main unit for two seconds to initiate a signal search for the
remote temperature.
REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES
The remote temperature information is located on the
middle line of the main unit’s display. The indoor temperature
with the icon IN is located next to the remote temperature.
The wave icon above the remote channel number indicates
the reception status from the remote temperature sensor.
There are three following types of the reception status that
may be displayed:
