USING THE RAIN GAUGE

The weather station’s rain gauge measures
rain as it falls and automatically calculates
the rate of rainfall per hour. You can set the
monitor to display the rainfall rate in in/hr
(inches per hour) or mm/hr (millimeters per
hour). To set the desired rainfall measure-
ment, press

Notes:

• We recommend you regularly check for

and remove any debris that might have
fallen into the rain gauge’s cylinder. Oth-
erwise, rain might not properly drain into
the gauge.

• The rain gauge automatically empties

itself. There is no need to empty the
gauge after rainfall.

To remove the rain gauge’s screen for easy
cleaning, simply pull up on the string
attached to the screen. When you finish,
place the screen back in the cylinder and
press it down into place.
