    4 Unpacking Open your weather station box and inspect that the contents are intact (nothing broken) and complete (nothing missing). Inside you should find the following: QTY Item Description Display Console Outdoor Sensor Body with built-in: Thermo-hygrometer / Rain Gauge / Wind Speed Sensor/ Wind Direction Sensor, Light and UV sensor, Solar panel Wind speed cups (to be attached to outdoor sensor body) Wind vane (to be attached to outdoor sensor body)
  • Page 9 Note: Batteries for the outdoor sensor package are not included. You will need 2 AA size batteries, alkaline or Lithium batteries (Lithium recommended for colder climates). Note: The console operates using an AC adapter. The included adapter is a switching-type adapter and can generate a small amount of electrical interference with the RF reception in the console, when placed too close to the console.

    6.2.1 Sensor Placement The best mounting location for the indoor sensor is in a location that never receives direct sunlight, not even through windows. Also, do not install in a location where a nearby radiant heat source (radiator, heaters, etc.) will affect it. Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings.
