to the light sensor. You must rotate the whole sensor package until this arrow
points due West. To achieve proper alignment, it is helpful to use
a compass (many cell phones have a compass application).
Once rotated in the correct orientation, lightly tighten the bolts a little more
(use a wrench) to prevent further rotation.
Note:
Use the bubble level next to the rain sensor to make sure the sensor
array is completely level. If the sensor is not level then the rain gauge will
measure inaccurately.

5.3 Optional sensors
Important: When more sensors, excluding the original sensor array, to be
paired with the display, DC power supply must be applied as console will turn
on its RF receiver permanently, which increases the current consumption
significantly.
Note:
When optional sensor (s) added, it requires that the console must be
powered by USB connection. When no optional sensor added, the console can
work up to 6 months with battery (not included) .
