Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level.

If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.

If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.

NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage of any collected rain.

GETTING STARTED

SET UP BASE STATION

NOTE Install batteries matching the polarities (+ / -) in the remote sensor before installing the base station.

For continuous use, install the AC adapter. The batteries are for back-up use only. NOTE Make sure the adapter is not obstructed and is easily accessible to the unit.

NOTE The base station and adapter should not be exposed to wet conditions. No objects filled with liquid, such as vases, should be placed on the base station and adapter.

INSERT BATTERIES

1.Remove the battery compartment.

2.Insert the batteries, matching the polarities (+ / -).

3.Press RESET after each battery change.

NOTE Do not use rechargeable batteries. It is recommended that you use alkaline batteries with this product for longer performance.

NOTE Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine or fire.
