SET UP:

IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries. The "+" markings on the batteries must line up with the diagrams inside the battery compartments.

Inserting the batteries incorrectly may result in permanent damage to the units. During the

setup process, place the wireless display and the outdoor sensors on a surface with 5-10 feet

between the sensors and the display. Only use Alkaline Batteries, rechargeable batteries may not work.

1. It is important to allow sufficient light to reach the solar panel while activating the wind sensor. Make sure the lights are on in the setup room and the solar panel is facing a 60W light bulb or brighter. Ensure the panel is not covered, and remove the black protective foil on the solar panel. Remove the tape covering the reset hole. Use the provided plastic reset rod to gently press the reset button once in the hole on the bottom of the sensor.

2.Insert two "AA" size batteries into the rain sensor with the correct polarity.

3.Insert two "C" size batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor with the correct polarity. Wait two minutes for the sensors to talk to each other.

4.Insert two "C" size batteries into the wireless display with the correct polarity. Do not press any button for 10 minutes.

NOTE: Every time the wireless display receives data from the sensors, the wireless icons

will blink once and then return to solid if the last transmission was successful. A wind speed or rainfall amount that reads "0" does not mean reception failure, it means that there was no wind or rain at the time of the last measurement. The thermo-hygro sensor syncs with the wind and rain sensors and sends all outdoor sensor data to the display. The thermo-hygro sensor tries for 4 minutes to sync to the wind sensor and then 4 minutes for the rain sensor. If not successful within 4 minutes, the thermo-hygro sensor will stop looking for the other sensors.
