[. . . ] Note: you may obtain the current sea level pressure from the weather web site for your locate area. Outdoors, not blocked on top or sides, so wind can freely reach the anemometer · Within 100 meter (328 feet) open area from the monitor. Reduce distance if obstacles is between the anemometer & the monitor The best location for the anemometer is usually mounted on a mast in an open area where wind is not blocked on top or sides, or above roof level on the building where the monitor is located. Testing the effective transmission range Before mounting the anemometer, measure the distance between the monitor & anemometer and be sure it is within the effective transmission range. [. . . ] Mounting the rain gauge Before mounting the rain gauge, be sure the rain gauge & monitor are within the transmission effective range and batteries are installed. Hold the base of the rain gauge flat against the mounting surface then use a level to make sure the rain gauge (as it rest on the mounting surface) is horizontally level. Use a pencil to trace the inside of the mounting holes on the base of the rain gauge to mark the screw locations. Drill a hole in the center of each marked location and insert the supplied plastic screw plugs 4. Hold the rain gauge against the mounting surface so the holes on the base are aligned with the plugs, then thread the supplied washer head screws into each hole and use a screwdriver to tighten them. Shorten the distance if obstacle is between the monitor & remote sensor. Use a small screwdriver to loosen the screws on the battery door of the remote sensor. (Channel 1 is used by the anemometer and should not be assigned to the new remote thermo-hygrometer) 4. The temperature & humidity readings of your selected channel number will be displayed on the monitor if RF transmission is successful. Operation Name and Functions of Buttons: RAIN/CLEAR Press functions: Read daily/monthly/weekly/total rainfall Hold 3 seconds: Clear rainfall record RAIN HISTORY Press functions: Read current & past 6 days, weeks or months rainfall data WIND Press functions: Read average & gust wind speed WIND ALARM Press functions: Read high gust wind alarm and low wind chill alarm Hold 3 seconds: Enter high wind speed alarm & low wind chill alarm setting PRESSURE Press functions: Toggle pressure unit hPa, inHg & mb Hold 3 seconds: Sea level pressure setting CHANNEL/SEARCH Press functions: Select indoor, Channel 1, 2, 3 or auto scroll Hold 3 seconds: Search for all remote sensors MEMORY Press functions: Read maximum/minimum records Hold 3 seconds: Clear memory record HEAT INDEX/ DEW POINT Press functions: Read Heat Index & Dew Point CLOCK Press functions: Read time, calendar and day-of-week Hold 3 seconds: Set Clock & Calendar ALARM Press functions: Read alarm time; enable/disable alarm Hold 3 seconds: Alarm time setting UP Press functions: 1 step forward in setting Hold 3 seconds: Fast advance Down Press functions: 1 step backward in setting Hold 3 seconds: Fast backward SNOOZE/LIGHT Press functions: Trigger snooze alarm & extend backlight WIND ALARM Press functions: Enable/disable high gust wind alarm & low wind chill alarm WIND UNIT Press functions: Toggle wind speed unit between Beaufort, mph, m/s, km/h & knot RAIN UNIT Press functions: Toggle between mm & inch rainfall unit C/F Hold 3 seconds: Toggle degree C & F unit Connecting with remote sensors The weather station uses 433MHz radio signals to send and receive weather data between the monitors and remote sensors. After battery/adapter installation, the monitor will automatically search for remote sensors. You can also enforce a searching mode by holding "CHANNEL/SEARCH" on the monitor. follow the instruction in the "INSTALLATION" section to set up the sensors and wireless connection. If the connection cannot be established, reset the remote sensor by removing the batteries from the sensor. Then hold "CHANNEL/SEARCH" on the monitor to search for the sensors. If that continues to fail, shorten the distance between the sensor & monitor and reinstall the sensors if necessary (Details refer "INSTALLATION" section) Anemometer (with built-in temperature & humidity sensor): Important: Wind direction calibration is needed whenever the anemometer is reset (or during battery replacement) Searching mode display: Wind direction, temperature & humidity information will flash RF Connection completed: Valid wind speed/direction & Ch-1 temperature/humidity readings appear (It may take up to 10 minutes to receive all wind speed/ direction & Ch-1 temperature/humidity readings during the searching mode) RF Connection failed: "- - - -" wind speed appears; no wind direction. Unable to display Ch-1 temperature & humidity Rain Gauge: Searching mode display: Total rainfall information will flash RF connection completed: Valid total rainfall reading appears RF connection failed: "- - - -" stops flashing & stays on the total rainfall display (previous daily/weekly/monthly rainfall readings remain in record) Searching mode display: Temperature & humidity information will flash RF Connection completed: Valid temperature/humidity readings of your selected channel appear RF Connection failed: Unable to display the temperature & humidity readings of your selected channel Weather forecast & barometric pressure The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12 ­ 24 hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The weather forecast is based on atmospheric pressure change and is about 70-75% correct. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted, we cannot be responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast. Press PRESSURE button to select pressure unit between hPa, inHg & mb. Note: you may obtain your current local sea level pressure information from the weather web site. Additional remote thermo-hygrometer sensor(s) can be purchased separately and they should be assigned to Ch-2 or 3 only. [. . . ] Place the unit away from source of interference such as mobile phones, appliances, TV etc. to disable the radio-controlled time reception and stop the daily synchronization , continue pressing until the antenna icon disappears. Clock & calendar Press "CLOCK" to toggle display between time, calendar and day of the week. Clock & calendar setting: Note: You need to set clock & calendar when your weather station cannot receive radio-controlled time signal in your location. [. . . ]
