• The battery compartment is under the rocker. Firmly squeeze all four tabs and lift the battery compartment off
the base.
• Insert two new AA 1,5 V batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Position the battery compartment with the rocker over the base and press down so all four tabs lock in place.
• Position the housing and press down so both tabs lock into place.
ATTENTION:
Match the corresponding
arrows on the funnel portion and the base.
Temperature transmitter
• Remove the protective film from the display of the temperature transmitter.
• Open the battery compartment of the temperature transmitter and insert two new AA 1,5 V batteries. Make
sure the polarity is correct. The red LED flashes and all segments will be displayed briefly. The current tem-
perature will be displayed. Close the battery compartment again.
Base station

correct. The device will alert you with a beep and all segments will be displayed for a short moment. Close the
battery compartment again.
6.2 Outdoor values reception
• The base station will scan the outdoor values of both transmitters. The reception symbol of the rain sensor
and "- -" in the outdoor temperature display are flashing. If the reception is successful, the outdoor tempera-
ture and the rainfall amount appear on the base station display. To simulate rainfall values move the rocker.
• If the reception of the outdoor values fails, "- -" appears on the base station display. Check the batteries and
try it again. Check if there is any source of interference.
• You can also start the initialization manually. Hold the
RAIN
button (for the rain sensor) or the
DOWN
button
(for the temperature transmitter) on the base station for three seconds. The base station will try to receive the
measured values.
• Press the
TX
button in the transmitter's battery compartment. The transmission of the outdoor data will take
place immediately.
