1.1 What's new with the WS-1401-IP

The WS-1400-IP uses rechargeable batteries for energy storage. The WS-1401-IP improves on this
design by charging a super capacitor instead of rechargeable batteries. The non-rechargeable batteries
provide back-up energy.
With the WS-1400-IP, the rechargeable batteries have a limited temperature range and prone to
leaking. This problem is resolved with the WS-1401-IP by using high quality non-rechargeable
batteries, like Lithium e2 Energizer batteries.

2. Warnings and Cautions

Warning: Any metal object may attract a lightning strike, including your weather station
mounting pole. Never install the weather station in a storm.
Warning: Installing your weather station in a high location may result in injury or death.
Perform as much of the initial check out and operation on the ground and inside a building or home.
Only install the weather station on a clear, dry day.

3. Quick Start Guide

Although the manual is comprehensive, much of the information contained may be intuitive. In
addition, the manual does not flow properly because the sections are organized by components.
The following Quick Start Guide provides only the necessary steps to install, operate the weather
station, and upload to the internet, along with references to the pertinent sections.
