Note: When running on battery power only, the indoor display stays off to save power. Touch the top button to wake the display for 15 seconds. When using the power adapter, the display stays on continuously.

3.2 Outdoor Sensor Installation

The remote sensor offers robust functionality and is designed for easy installation.

• Choose an open location for the outdoor sensor, away from obstructions that could affect wind or rain measurements.
• Ensure the sensor is mounted securely and level using the built-in bubble level to ensure accurate rainfall readings.
• Avoid placing the sensor near TVs, towers, power lines, or other interference sources.
• The maximum transmission distance between the outdoor sensor and the indoor unit is 328 feet (100 meters) in an open area.
