RainWise MK4-C Instruction Manual page 22

The MK4-C station is shipped with a fully charged battery and the station is designed
to maintain normal operation in subfreezing weather. If solar charging is insufficient
due to extended snow cover or installation in a shaded location, the station will
change operating modes to conserve power as detailed in the station specifications
operating mode table. In winter conditions, the rain gauge will not measure
precipitation until the accumulated contents of the bucket have melted and drained
through the strainer at the bottom of the bucket.
IMPORTANT: If the station enters hibernation mode due to a depleted battery, the station
must be left turned "on" and placed in direct sunlight to recharge. When the battery is
charged sufficiently (typically 1-3 days), the station will switch back to Logging mode, then
Normal Operation mode as charging allows. You will receive an email notification when the
station returns to Normal Operation mode.
