Slide open battery door

Install the battery, matching polarity (+/-)

Assign a channel by sliding selection switch to the appropriate channel (1,2,3) location. If installing additional sensors, make sure you assign a different channel for each sensor.

Press the reset button

Before placing the sensor outdoors, please verify

communication with the main unit by placing the sensor next to the base unit during this setup process.

SET-UP MAIN UNIT

Install the required number of batteries in the battery compartment located on the back of each main unit.

There are two types of signals the main unit will receive:

Temperature Signal

After installing the batteries, the main unit will automatically search for the signal from the wireless sensor. Once a temperature reading is displayed on the LCD screen, communication is now established.

Time is synchronized. Receiving signal is strong.

Time is not synchronized. Receiving signal is weak.

Atomic Clock Signal

Atomic clock synchronization will automatically occur after installing the batteries. Reception takes 2-10 minutes. If the signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to retrieve a valid signal.

Please monitor atomic clock icon ( ) on the bottom part of the

LCD display next to the time. This icon indicates the status of the clock reception signal.

SET-UP RAIN GAUGE

FOR THE RAIN AND TEMPERATURE STATION

PLACE WIRELESS

SENSOR OUTSIDE

Remove the two base screws located on the bottom rim of the rain gauge and slide the hood cover off to expose the battery compartment.

Locate the battery compartment and remove the eight screws that secure the cover. Install two AA batteries.

Remove the packing tape from the tipping funnel.

Press the RESET button.

Press the SEARCH button on the main unit to initiate a wireless sensor search.

Before proceeding to install the rain gauge outside, please verify communication to the main base station.

Find a location for the temperature and humidity sensor

Temperature and thermo-humidity sensors should be located in areas protected from the sunlight and rain. Mount the sensor under a covered location like a roof overhang or under the eaves. This will ensure accurate temperature and humidity readings.

Find a location for the wireless rain gauge

The wireless rain gauge should be placed on a flat and level surface. The location must be away from anything that may block rainfall from entering the rain collector. Rain gauge should be elevated off the ground. Placing your rain gauge on your outside deck would be an ideal location.

The distance between the main unit and remote sensor should not be greater

than 100 feet.

Tilt the tipping funnel on the rain gauge several times and verify a numerical reading on the base unit ( ). Numerical reading will take approximately 30-45 seconds to transmit to the main unit.

Press and hold the SINCE button for two seconds. The total rainfall and today

rainfall will be reset to zero.

Secure the battery cover with eight screws.

After verifying connection to the base station, place the rain gauge outside on a level surface and place a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the funnel to check the horizontal level. Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level. You can adjust the level when securing the rain gauge on the level screws by using the mounting screws.

To complete the installation, slide the hood cover on and secure with two base screws located on the bottom rim of the rain gauge. Place the filter in the cup to prevent leaves or other debris from blocking water from entering the cup.

1) Check main unit or remote sensor battery levels by viewing the appropriate icons on main unit display.

2) Place the main unit away from other electronic devices that might cause signal interference.

3) Decrease the distance between the remote sensor and the main unit

The weather forecast feature does not show you current conditions outside, rather it will forecast what the weather will be in the next 12+ hours. Weather forecast is calculated to be 75% accurate

NOTE: If you have the RMR203HGA, you need to purchase the THGR268 sensor to display outside humidity.

1) Check main unit or remote sensor battery levels by viewing the appropriate icons on main unit display.

2) Place the main unit away from other electronic devices that might cause signal interference.

3) Decrease the distance between the remote sensor and the main unit

Move the remote sensor to a location that will not expose it to direct sunlight or rain.

Min/Max memory resets at 12:00 am everyday.

The Weather Warnings icons will activate when current weather conditions fall under specific temperature, barometric, or humidity requirements.

"Move the main unit close to a window, away from other electronic devices, and hit the up button to intitiate

an atomic clock signal search. The best time to achieve successful signal synchronizing is during nighttime hours. It can take up to 24 hours to receive a signal.”
