Close the battery cover.
Note: Do not install the batteries backwards. You can
permanently damage the sensors. The solar panel does not
charge the batteries, so rechargeable batteries are not needed
or recommended.

- 16 -
Note: We recommend installing Lithium AA batteries for
sensors.
The sensor LED indicator will light for 3 seconds, and then
flash once per 16 seconds thereafter. Each time it flashes, the
sensor is transmitting data.
Place the battery cover and push it to close the compartment.
Note: If the sensor does not power up after inserting
the batteries, press the reset button shown in Figure 11.

3.4.2 Setup the Display Console
1. Plug in the display console with power adapter. BL ON
will display in the time area for three seconds when powered
up.
Note: It is recommended to plug in the power adapter to
reduce the battery consumption and extend the service life.
2. Display Console Batteries Installation
Remove the battery door on the back of the display, as shown
in Figure 4. Install three AAA (alkaline or lithium) batteries. The

- 19 -
display will beep once and layout of display will light up for a
few seconds to verify all segments are operating properly.

Recover the battery door, and unfold out the desk stand to
place the console in the upright position
Note: The battery is a back-up of weather station console,
saving console settings when powered off from adaptor.
3.4.3 Connect Sensors with Display Console
Once the display console is powered up, it will automatically
scan all the nearby Integrated Outdoor sensors.

- 20 -
Note: Do not press any button until all the remote sensors
report in the display screen, otherwise the display console will
terminate to connect with remote sensors.
Note: While in the search mode, the remote search icon
will be constantly displayed until all the measured values
received. The console will automatically switch to the normal
mode from which all further settings can be performed.
When connected with the Integrated Outdoor Sensor, the
measured value (Outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed,
wind direction, wind gust and average, rainfall, UV and
Sunlight index, Dew point and feels like) will show up on the
display console.
Note: Make sure that the distance between weather station
sensors and display console should be within 10ft (3m) to 100ft
(30m). If the weather station sensors is too close or too far
away, it may not receive a proper signal.
3.5 Sensor Operation Verification
The following steps verify proper operation of the sensors prior
to installing the sensor array.
1. Verify proper operation of the rain gauge. Tip the
Integrated outdoor sensor back and forth several times. You
will heard a “ticking” sound within the rain gauge. Verify the
rain reading on the display console is not reading 0.00. Each
“ticking” represents 0.01 inch of rainfall.
