ANEMOMETER

RAIN GAUGE
Checking and cleaning the rain sensor in a timely manner will maintain an accuracy of the precipitation
measurements.
• Remove the protective screen and lid.
• Clean with soapy water and a damp cloth, removing dirt, leaves or debris.
• Clean small holes and parts with Q-tips or pipe-cleaner.
• Clean the swinging mechanism with a damp cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: "The display shows dashes "—-" for weather parameter(s)"
A: The display will show "- - -" when the wireless connection with the remote sensor is lost for the
following periods:
Thermo-Hygrometer
Anemometer (Wind Sensor):
Rain Gauge (Rain Sensor)
Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold DOWN button on the
main unit to search for remote signals. If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from
the corresponding sensor to the main unit and change locations to improve reception. Wireless signals
pass through solid objects and walls, however, whenever possible the sensor should be within
line-of-sight with the main unit.
The following may cause reception problems:
• The remote weather sensor and a main unit are too far from each other.
• The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation, are in
the path of transmission.
• Interference from wireless devices such as: cordless phones, radio headsets and baby listening
devices or electronic appliances.
Q: "My weather station readings are different from TV, radio or official weather reports."
A: The weather data may vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement
of the remote sensors.
If readings are in question, check the sensor placement tips included in this manual.
Q: "The weather forecast is inaccurate."
A: Weather forecast predicts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, and does not reflect current
weather conditions.
