Cautions:
-
To prevent false rainfall readings caused by water splashes, do not choose a location that is not
level or that is too close to the ground, a swimming pool, lawn sprinklers, or anywhere water might
accumulate or run off
-
The screen in the cylinder of the rain gauge filters most debris (such as leaves) that might fall into
the rain gauge. To avoid frequent build-up of debris in the cylinder, do not mount the rain gauge
too close to the trees or plants

Battery Installation for the rain gauge
1. Press the tabs back as indicated below to unlock the rain gauge cover
2. Lift the rain gauge cover off its base. Then carefully remove the packing tape from the bucket
assembly
3. Open battery cover and insert 2 pieces of AA batteries according to the polarity indicated. Close the
battery cover
4. Replace & lock the rain gauge cover on the base
5. Hold “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds and the total rainfall “- - - -“ will
flash. The monitor is now searching for all remote sensors for 2 minutes. Total rainfall reading (in
this case “0” mm or inch) will appear within 2 minutes if the RF transmission is successful and the
monitor & rain gauge are now within the effective transmission range.
6. If total rainfall “- - - - “ stop flashing and stay on the display after 2 minutes of searching, the RF
transmission is failed. Shorten the distance between the monitor & rain gauge. Reset the rain
gauge by removing all batteries from the rain gauge and wait for 10 seconds before re-installing the
batteries again. Then repeat step 5 (& 6) until the RF communication is completed.
NOTE: Whenever the radio-controlled icon
is flashing on the display, the weather station is
receiving radio-controlled clock signal and the RF reception for remote sensors will stop temporary for
around 8 minutes. Wait until this icon stops flashing (or disappear) before searching for the remote
sensors again by holding the “CHANNEL/SEARCH” button on the monitor for 3 seconds.
