NOTE: When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because the thermo-hygro sensor at start-up assigns a random security code and this code must be received and stored by the Weather Center in the first several minutes of power being supplied to it. HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE THE BATTERIES INTO THE WEATHER STATION The Weather Station works with 2 x C, IEC LR14 1.5V batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced
