immediately.
CHANGING BATTERIES FOR THE REMOTE SENSORS

console unit.
To enforce a search immediately for all remote signals, press and hold [ ] located at the
back of the Main Unit.
CLEANING
The Main Unit and outer casings for the remote sensors can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
Small parts can be cleaned with a cotton tip or pipe-cleaner.
Never use any abrasive cleaning agents and solvents. Do not immerse any units with electronic
parts in water or under running water.
ANEMOMETER
• Check that the wind vane and wind cups can spin freely and are free from dirt, debris or spider webs.
RAIN GAUGE
Like all rain gauges, the rain sensor is prone to blockages due to its funnel shape. Checking and
cleaning the rain sensor from time to time will maintain the accuracy of rain measurements.
• Detach the protective screen and lid. Remove any dirt, leaves or debris by cleaning the items with
soapy water and a damp cloth. Clean small holes and parts with a cotton tips or pipe-cleaner.
• Look out for spiders or insects that might have crawled into the funnel.

TROUBLESHOOTING
“The display shows dashes “---” for weather parameter(s)”
The display will show “---” when the wireless link is lost with the remote sensor for the
following periods:
Thermo-hygro Sensor – 15 minutes
Anemometer (Wind Sensor) – 15 minutes
Rain Sensor – 30 minutes
Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold [ ] located at
the back of the Main Unit to enforce a search for all remote signals.
If the above does not solve the problem, check the wireless transmission path from the
corresponding sensor to the main console unit and change their locations if necessary.
Although wireless signals can pass through solid objects and walls, the sensor should ideally be
within the line of sight of the console unit.
The following may be the cause of reception problems:
• Distance between remote sensor and main console unit too long.
• Signal shielding materials such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation in the
path of transmission.
• Interferences from wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets, baby listening
devices) and electronic appliances.
