SECTION 2 • SETUP

A/B/C Wireless Selection

To allow for more than one weather station and wireless sensor network to be used in close proximity, the main unit and all 3 wireless sensors have a small switch labeled “A B C” near or in the battery compartments. These switches are all factory preset into the same position (either A, B, or C). This switch selects one of 3 wireless modes to use, and all 4 switches in all 4 components MUST be set in matching positions (either A, B, or C) for wireless communication to take place successfully.

Install Batteries

Batteries must be installed into all three of the wireless sensors BEFORE installing batteries into the main display unit. Use only fresh or new batteries in all cases, and install correctly according to the polarity ( - & + ) symbols marked on the batteries and in the battery compartments. We suggest using lithium batteries for better cold weather performance. Do not mix old and new batteries.
