Warning – Batteries
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries) that match
the specified type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery contacts
and the polar contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries without
supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of a
different type or make.
• Remove the batteries from products that are not being
used for an extended period (unless these are being kept
ready for an emergency).
• Do not short-circuit batteries.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not throw batteries in a fire.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow
them to enter the environment. They can contain toxic,
environmentally harmful heavy metals.
• Immediately remove and dispose of dead batteries from
the product.
• Avoid storing, charging or using the device in extreme
temperatures and extremely low atmospheric pressure (for
example, at high altitudes).
4. Getting Started
Note
Before use, make sure that you insert the batteries into the
measuring station and the wireless rain gauge first, and then
into the base station.
4.1 Insert batteries
Measuring station
• Open the battery compartment (29) and remove the contact
breaker.
• Then close the battery compartment cover.
Wireless rain gauge
• Remove the rain gauge cover (30) by simultaneously pressing
both locks (32), on either side, inwards.

4.2 Replacing the batteries
Note – Replacing the batteries
• Note that the stations have to be resynchronised each
time you change the batteries in the measuring or base
station or in the wireless rain gauge.
• To do this, remove the batteries from the other station and
then reinsert them, or change them as required.
Measuring station
• Open the battery compartment (29), remove and properly
dispose of the depleted batteries, and insert two new AA
Mignon batteries with the correct polarity. Then close the
battery compartment cover.
Wireless rain gauge

both locks (32), on either side, inwards.
• Open the battery compartment (35) next to the rocker (34),
remove and properly dispose of the depleted batteries, and
insert two new AAA Micro batteries with the correct polarity.
Then close the battery compartment cover.

5. Installation
Warning
• Buy special or suitable installation material from a
specialised dealer for wall-mounting.
• Ensure that no faulty or damaged parts are installed.
• Never apply force during installation. This could damage
the product.
• Before installation, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable
for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there
are no electrical wires, water, gas or other lines at the
installation site on the wall.
• Do not mount the product above locations where persons
might linger.
Note – Installation
• We recommend initially placing the base station,
measuring station and wireless rain gauge in the intended
locations without installing them, and making all the
settings described in
6. Operation.
• Only install the stations once the appropriate settings
have been made and a stable wireless connection is
established.
