Setup Preparation

Items you will need to setup your station (not included):

1. Phillips head screwdriver for assembly.

2. Fresh Batteries:
3 (three) AA alkaline batteries for the station (optional)
2 (two) AA alkaline or lithium batteries for the TH sensor.
2 (two) C alkaline or lithium batteries for the Wind sensor.

For best results:

• Remove weather station and sensors from the package and place together on a table
or bench, within easy reach.

• Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of setup location.

• Keep sensors and weather station within 5-10 feet for at least 15 minutes after
installing batteries. This allows the sensors and station to sync properly and ensures a
strong connection.

Quick Setup

1. Power up: Select channel 1 on the outdoor Thermo-hygro sensor then insert 2-AA
batteries. Insert 2-C batteries into the Wind sensor. Insert the power cable into the
weather station.

2. Congure basic settings. Set Time, Date etc.

3. After 15 minutes, place sensors outside (see mounting instructions on page 14).
Optional: insert 3-AA batteries into the weather station.
