Th e remote rainfall information line is located on the 

top line of the main unit’s display. Th e rain icon “ ” is 

located to the left  of the rainfall reading and indicates 

the reception status from the remote rain gauge. Th ere 

are three types of reception status that may be displayed:

Press and hold the MODE button on the front panel to 

display the rainfall reading in inches or mm.

RAINFALL HISTORY

Th e rainfall history records will be automatically stored 

in the memory of the main unit. Th ere are three histori-

cal records that may be displayed—the past hour, past 

day, and past week. 

• To display any of available rainfall history reading, 

use any button on the front panel except the ALARM

on the front panel for two seconds and all previously 

stored readings will be erased (all the historical records 

will display a default reading 0.00).

Th e Unit is in searching mode

Rainfall readings are 

securely registered
No signal

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM TEMPERATURE

Th e maximum and minimum record of the indoor and 

remote temperatures will be automatically stored in the 

memory of the main unit.

• To display the minimum, maximum, or the current 

reading, press MEMORY button on the back panel.

sensor reading goes blank, press and hold the back 

DOWN ( ) button for 2 seconds to begin a new signal 

search. If the signal still isn’t received, please make sure 

that:

•  Th e remote temperature sensor is in its proper loca-

tion.

•  Th e distance between main unit and remote tempera-

ture sensor is not over 100 feet (30 meters).

•  Th e path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten 

the distance if necessary.

•  Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote 

temperature sensor and main unit.

If there is no reception, please perform the following 

steps:

•  Bring the main unit and remote temperature sensor
