the temperature sensor) and the main unit within the effective transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters). • • • The remote rain gauge must be placed outdoors on the open area, away from the walls, fences and trees and level. It is important that excess precipitation can freely flow from the remote rain gauge. The remote temperature sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors, depending on the area where the temperature is intended to be measured.
REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature in C° or F° before mounting the remote temperature sensor. • Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a small Phillips screwdriver. • Set the channel. The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1 is typically selected if only one remote sensor is being used. • Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included) matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment.
REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES The remote temperature information is located on the middle line of the main unit’s display. The indoor temperature with the icon IN is located next to the remote temperature. The wave icon above the remote channel number indicates the reception status from the remote temperature sensor. There are three following types of the reception status that may be displayed: The unit is in searching mode.
