Water will pool to the center of the cross when the rain gauge is level.
If water remains on 1-4, the gauge is not horizontal.
If necessary, adjust the level using the screw.
NOTE For best results, ensure the base is horizontal to allow maximum drainage
of any collected rain.
GETTING STARTED
SET UP BASE STATION
NOTE Install batteries matching the polarities (+ / -) in the remote sensor before
installing the base station.
For continuous use, install the AC adapter. The batteries are for back-up use only.
