IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The "+" markings on the batteries must line
up with the diagrams inside the battery compartments. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent
damage to the units. During the setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor sensors on a surface with 3-10
feet between the sensors and the display. Only use Alkaline Batteries, rechargeable batteries may not work.
1. It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while activating the wind sensor.
Make sure the lights are on in the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or
brighter - do not cover with hands or other objects. Remove the black protective foil on the
solar panel and use the provided plastic reset rod to gently press the reset button once in the
hole on the bottom of the sensor.
2. Insert two "AA" size batteries into the rain sensor with the correct polarity.
3. Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor with the correct polarity.
4. Insert three "C" size batteries into the wireless display with the correct polarity.
NOTE: Every time the wireless display receives data from the sensors, the wireless icons
will blink once and then return to solid if the last transmission was successful. A wind speed or rainfall amount that
reads "0" does not mean reception failure, it means that there was no wind or rain at the time of the last measurement.
The thermo-hygro sensor syncs with the wind and rain sensors and sends all outdoor sensor data to the display. The
thermo-hygro sensor tries for 4 minutes to sync to the wind sensor and then 4 minutes for the rain sensor. If not
successful within 4 minutes, the thermo-hygro sensor will stop looking for the other sensors.
5. Setup troubleshooting: If the sensor data fails to display for any of the outdoor sensors within 10 minutes, ("- - -" is
displayed), remove the batteries from all units for 1 minute and start the Setup procedure again at Step 1.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all of the sensor data can be received at the intended mounting locations before you drill mounting
holes. The outdoor sensors have a wireless range of 200 feet. Keep in mind that the 200 foot range equates to an open air
scenario with no obstructions. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) will reduce the range.
