2. Setup

2.1 Unpacking and Component Check

Carefully unpack all components and ensure the following items are present:

• Main Display Unit
• 5-in-1 Outdoor Multi-Sensor Unit
• Mounting accessories (pole, base, screws)
• Power adapter for main unit
• Instruction Manual

2.2 Battery Installation

Main Display Unit: Insert 1x CR2032 battery (not included) into the battery compartment for backup power. Connect the main unit to a power outlet using the provided adapter.

Outdoor Multi-Sensor Unit: Insert 3x AA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment of the outdoor sensor. Ensure correct polarity.

2.3 Outdoor Sensor Placement and Mounting

Proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate readings.

• Mount the sensor in an open area, away from obstructions like buildings or trees, to ensure accurate wind and rain measurements.
• Ensure the sensor is mounted level to guarantee accurate rainfall collection and wind direction.
• Orient the wind vane (the arrow) to point North during installation.
• Use the provided mounting pole and base to secure the sensor to a stable surface or pole.

2.4 Initial Synchronization

After installing batteries in both units, place them within close proximity. The main display unit will automatically search for and connect to the outdoor sensor. This process may take a few minutes. Once connected, outdoor data will appear on the display.

2.5 Time and Date Setting

The weather station may attempt to synchronize time via RCC (Radio Controlled Clock) signal. If an RCC signal is not available in your region, or if you prefer, you can manually set the time and date using the buttons on the main display unit. Refer to the specific button functions in the Operating section for detailed instructions.

3.4 Unit Selection

To change units (e.g., Celsius to Fahrenheit, mph to km/h, inHg to hPa), access the settings menu. Navigate to the unit selection option and choose your preferred measurement units.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

Replace batteries in the outdoor sensor when the low battery indicator appears on the main display. Due to the outdoor placement, ensure safe access for battery replacement. The main unit's backup battery should be replaced periodically, typically every 1-2 years.

4.2 Cleaning

Periodically clean the outdoor sensor unit to ensure accurate readings. Remove any debris from the rain collector, wind cups, and wind vane. Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Clean the display unit with a soft, dry cloth.

4.3 General Care

Ensure the outdoor sensor is securely mounted and free from physical damage. Protect the main display unit from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and moisture.

5. Troubleshooting

• No Display on Main Unit: Check power adapter connection and backup battery.
• No Outdoor Data: Ensure outdoor sensor batteries are fresh and correctly installed. Verify both units are within range and attempt re-synchronization (refer to setup instructions). Check for obstructions between units.
• Inaccurate Readings: Ensure the outdoor sensor is mounted correctly (level, clear of obstructions, wind vane pointing North). Clean sensors if necessary.
• Time/Date Incorrect: If RCC synchronization fails, manually set the time and date.
