BATTERY INSTALLATION AND ACTIVATION
Warning:
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable (nickel cadmium) batteries.
• For maximum performance in normal conditions we recommend using high quality alkaline
batteries. When temperatures are below 32°F, alkaline batteries can lose power resulting
in a loss of remote transmission. If you reside in an area that experiences frequent tem-
peratures below freezing, we recommend using lithium batteries to minimize the loss of
transmission.
Battery Installation of Base Unit
• Open the battery door at the back of the base unit and insert (2) AAA batteries according
to the polarity markings. Replace the battery door.
• Press the RESET button.
• Set the clock and calendar as follows.
Setting the Calendar, Clock, °C/°F
• When either the clock or calendar is being displayed, press and hold the MODE button for
3-4 seconds until the year display is flashing
• Press + or - to set the year
• Press MODE to display the date
• Press + or - to set the month and day
• Press MODE to display time
• Press + or - to set the time
• Press MODE and the display will show 12 hr
• Press + or - to set your clock to 12 hr or 24 hr time format
• Press MODE and the temperature field will be flashing
• Press + or - to select °F or °C format
• Press MODE to lock in the settings
Note:
If you set the time and date after initial activation, the accuracy of the rainfall history
data may be affected. Reset the unit to clear the history by pressing the RESET button then
set your desired time and date.
• Press the RE-SYNC button.
• Position the Rain Collector/Remote Sensor close to the base unit.
Battery Installation of Rain Collector
• Open the rain collector unit outer case as indicated and remove the inner cover to access
RESET/RE-SYNC buttons.
• Using a screwdriver, unscrew the battery door at the side of rain collector and insert (2) AA
batteries according to the polarity markings.
• Press the RESET button.
• Replace the battery door.
• Remove the tape from the pendulum inside to allow it to move freely.
• Close the outer case.
Note : Make sure the battery door is closed securely to prevent water leakage.
• When the REMOTE (outdoor) temperature is shown on the display of the base unit, synchro-
nization between the base unit and the remote sensor is complete.
POWER UP SYNCHRONIZATION
The base unit will search for the RF signal from the rain collector for 6 minutes after reset or af-
ter batteries are inserted. When the temperature display on the main unit shows the REMOTE
(outdoor) temperature, synchronization between the base unit and remote unit is complete.
The bottom left of the base unit display will show the
icon to indicate signal transmission.
If the REMOTE temperature does not show on the display within 6 minutes after reset, press
the RE-SYNC button and the main unit will search for the radio-frequency signal for another
6 minutes. If the base unit still fails to show the out temperature, refer to the
LOSING SYN-
CHRONIZATION
section.
