times and consequently the console may have registered rainfall
that did not really exist. You can use console functions to clear
this from history. Doing so is also important to avoid false
registration of these readings with weather services.

5.4 Best Practices for Wireless Communication
Wireless (RF) communication is susceptible to interference, distance,
walls and metal barriers. We recommend the following best practices for
trouble free wireless communication between both sensor packages and
the console:
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
. Keep the console several
feet away from computer monitors and TVs.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
If you have other devices
operating on the same frequency band as your indoor and/or outdoor
