Your Wireless Rain Gauge has a temperature alert feature. When
either the indoor or outdoor temperature exceeds the high or low
pre-set limits, an alarm will sound for five seconds, repeating every
minute. An alert and arrow icons will also flash to indicate the
temperature has reached the high or low limit.
Disconnected Signals
If the receiver unit does not receive a transmission from a remote channel for 1 hour, the
display will show dashes. To correct this problem:
1.
Check that the rain gauge collection cup is properly positioned, within the appropriate
transmission range. Transmissions are vastly affected by building materials and where the
base unit and rain collection cup are positioned. Try various set ups for the best results.
Shorten the distance between base unit and rain collection cup units when necessary.
2.
Check to make sure the transmission path is clear of obstacles and interference.
3.
If new batteries are faulty on the initial installation, install fresh batteries. Low Battery Icon
will warn you if the base unit or rain cup collector batteries have lost their charge. Replace
the batteries when necessary.
4.
Press RE-SYNC on the back of the base unit to send a transmission signal to the base unit.
