GETTING STARTED

After batteries are installed; remote temperature sensor will transmit temperature readings at about 45 second intervals. The remote rain gauge will transmit rainfall data at about 183 second intervals. The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the initial readings. Upon successful reception, the rainfall reading (0.00) will appear on the top line of the main unit’s display and the remote temperature will appear on the line below. The main unit will automatically update readings at 45-second intervals.

If no signals received from the remote temperature sensor within two minutes, dashes [ ] will be displayed. Press and hold the front panel DOWN ( ) button on the main unit for two seconds or until Rain symbol will start flashing, to initiate a signal search for the remote rainfall. Press and hold the back panel DOWN ( ) button on the main unit for two seconds to initiate a signal search for the remote temperature.

REMOTE AND INDOOR TEMPERATURES The remote temperature information is located on the middle line of the main unit’s display. The indoor temperature with the icon IN is located next to the remote temperature. The wave icon above the remote channel number indicates the reception status from the remote temperature sensor. There are three following types of the reception status that may be displayed:

The Unit is in searching mode

Temperature readings are securely registered

No signals. ˚F

To exit from scanning mode, press and hold the CHANNEL button (on the back) for 2 seconds, and the icon “ ” will disappear, returning the main unit to the default display mode.

CHECKING REMOTE RAINFALL DATA

The remote rainfall information line is located on the top line of the main unit’s display.

The rain icon “ ” is located to the left of the rainfall reading and indicates the reception status from the remote rain gauge. There are three following types of the reception status that may be displayed:

The unit is in searching mode

Rainfall readings are securely registered

No signals detected - - -
