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
2 (two) C alkaline or lithium batteries for the Wind sensor.
For best results:
• Remove weather station and sensor from the package and place together on a table
or bench, within easy reach.
• Place batteries and screwdriver within reach of setup location.
• Keep sensor 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.

into the weather station.
2. Congure basic settings. Set Time, Date etc.
