5.3.3 Install Batteries
Reference Figure 6. Locate the battery door on the bottom of the sensor array.
Turn the set screw counter clockwise to open the battery compartment. Insert
the 3xAA batteries (not included). The LED indicator on the bottom of the sensor
array will turn on for four seconds and normally flash once per 16 seconds (the
transmission update period).
Close the battery door and tighten the set screw.

Note: We recommend lithium batteries for cold weather climates, but alkaline
batteries are sufficient for most climates. We do not recommend rechargeable
batteries. They have lower voltages, do not operate well at wide temperature
ranges, and do not last as long, resulting in poorer reception.
5.3.4 Mount Weather Station
Fasten the mounting pole to your mounting pole or bracket (purchased
separately) with the U-bolts, mounting pole brackets and nuts, as shown in
Figure 7.
Tighten the mounting pole to your mounting pole with the U-Bolt
assembly. Make sure your mounting pole is as far away from the temperature
sensor as possible, as shown in Figure 7.
