Care And Maintenance - La Crosse Technology WS1506 Instruction Manual

After mounting the rain sensor and placing battery, the rain sensor is now operable.
For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of clean water into the rain
sensor funnel. The water will act as rainfall and will be received and displayed at the
base station i.e. when the reading interval is reached.
Note:
You will need to be able to access your rain gauge periodically to clean debris and
possible insect nests. Please keep this in mind when mounting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

•
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may
cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings.

Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or
property damage may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting
materials, heat, corrosive materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken
out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a long period of time.
