MAINTENANCE

DISPLAY CONSOLE MAINTENANCE:

Clean with a soft damp cloth, do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives as these will damage the finish on the display console. Keep away from dust and dirt and moisture, dust ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air, this will keep the indoor temperature and humidity accurate.

INTEGRATED WIRELESS SENSOR MAINTENANCE:

Clean the housing with a damp cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners or any materials that will mar the polished surfaces of the rain collection funnel or the solar panel- this will result in decreased performance and reliability.

Occasionally remove the rain collector screen cup and empty it. This will filter out seeds and small sticks, etc. (the rain collector screen cup is located within the rain funnel- remove from the top gently by squeezing and pulling out).

Remove any foreign matter on the outside of the housing to allow for free movement of wind vane and anemometer.

INSECTS: in most cases, insects will not pose a problem. However, in some instances, insects may cause repeated obstructions to weather measurement by nesting or building homes in or on the integrated wireless sensor. In these cases, it may help to spray the housing with a commercially available home insect guard/repellent product (not included) to limit the problem. Please consult the insect repellent manufacturers instructions and safety information before using.

BATTERY SAFETY: Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior to battery installation. Remove batteries from equipment which is not to be used for an extended period of time. Follow the polarity (+/-) diagram in the battery compartment. Promptly remove dead batteries from the device. Dispose of used batteries properly. Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used. DO NOT incinerate used batteries. DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire, as batteries may explode or leak. DO NOT mix old and new batteries or types of batteries (alkaline/standard). DO NOT use rechargeable batteries. DO NOT recharge non-rechargeable batteries. DO NOT short-circuit the supply terminals.
