- Initial Boot-up: The console will power on and begin searching for the outdoor sensor.
Image: Illustration showing the two power supply modes for the display console: via power adapter or 3x AAA batteries.
4.3 Sensor Pairing
The display console and outdoor sensor should pair automatically upon initial power-up. If pairing does not occur:
- Ensure both units are powered on and within range (up to 328ft/100m).
- Press and hold the 'CHANNEL' or 'SEARCH' button on the display console (refer to the console diagram for exact button).
- Reset the outdoor sensor by pressing its reset button (usually a small pinhole).
- The console should then detect and display data from the outdoor sensor.
4.4 Wi-Fi Configuration
To enable data upload to Weather Underground, PWS Weather, and Weather Cloud:
- Ensure your display console is powered on.
- Access the Wi-Fi settings menu on the display console (refer to the manual for specific button presses, typically involving the 'SET' button).
- Connect the console to your 2.4G Wi-Fi router. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter your network name (SSID) and password.
- Once connected, the Wi-Fi icon on the display will become stable.
- Register your weather station on the desired online weather services (Weather Underground, PWS Weather, Weather Cloud) using the station ID and key provided by your console or in the full manual.

4.5 Mounting the Outdoor Sensor
Proper placement of the outdoor sensor is crucial for accurate readings:
- Location: Choose an open area, away from obstructions like buildings, trees, or fences, which could interfere with wind, rain, or sunlight readings.
- Height: Mount the sensor at a height that allows for accurate wind speed and direction measurement, typically 5-10 feet (1.5-3 meters) above ground.
- Level: Use the built-in level indicator on the sensor to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. This is critical for accurate rain gauge readings.
- Orientation: Ensure the wind vane is oriented correctly (e.g., facing North) as per the instructions in the full manual.
- Secure Mounting: Use the provided mounting pole and hardware to securely attach the sensor to a sturdy post or fence.
