| 300’. Move the sensor assembly closer to the display | |
|
| console. |
|
There are dashes on the display console. |
|
| |
|
| If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 10’), move | |
|
| the sensor assembly away from the display console. | |
|
| Cycle power on the console. The console may have | |
|
| exited the search mode. |
|
|
| Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote rain gauge. | |
|
| For cold weather environments, install lithium batteries. | |
|
| Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting | |
|
| through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth | |
|
| barrier (down a hill). |
|
|
| Move the display console around electrical noise | |
|
| generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other | |
|
| wireless transmitters or receivers. |

|
| Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the | |
