Before you begin The components of this Honeywell Complete Wireless Weather Station operate at 433MHz radio frequency. No interconnecting wires are required between the main unit (receiver) and the remote sensors (transmitters). Note: Your weather station comes with alkaline batteries included in each weather instrument. To activate each component remove clear protective plastic strip from the battery compartment in the following order: Anemometer (wind sensor) Rain Gauge (rain senso

• Make sure that the remote sensors are easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance. Note: When the temperature falls below freezing, the outdoor sensor batteries may have reduced voltage and a reduced effective range. We recommend using lithium batteries at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). IMPORTANT: We recommend cleaning the remote sensors periodically, as dirt and debris affects sensor accuracy.

• Place the protective screen over the top to protect the rain gauge from the debris. • Where practical, mount the rain gauge in place with wood screws (not included). • Make sure that the rain gauge is in open area where precipitation falls directly into the gauge’s bucket, ideally 2-3 feet above the ground. Placement tips • The rain gauge should be placed in an open area away from the walls, fences, trees and other coverings which may reduce the amount of rain falling into the bucket
