After verifying connection to the base station, place the rain gauge outside on
a level surface and place a few drops of water on the cross at the base of the
funnel to check the horizontal level. Water will pool to the center of the cross
when the rain gauge is level. You can adjust the level when securing the rain
gauge on the level screws by using the mounting screws.
To complete the installation, slide the hood cover on and secure with two base
screws located on the bottom rim of the rain gauge. Place the filter in the cup
to prevent leaves or other debris from blocking water from entering the cup.

Find a location for the temperature and humidity sensor
Temperature and thermo-humidity sensors should be located in areas
protected from the sunlight and rain. Mount the sensor under a covered
location like a roof overhang or under the eaves. This will ensure accurate
temperature and humidity readings. 1 Find a location for the wireless rain gauge
The wireless rain gauge should be placed on a flat and level surface. The
location must be away from anything that may block rainfall from entering the
rain collector. Rain gauge should be elevated off the ground. Placing your rain
gauge on your outside deck would be an ideal location.
The distance between the main unit and remote sensor should not be greater
than 100 feet.

1) Check main unit or remote sensor battery levels by viewing the appropriate icons on main unit display.
2) Place the main unit away from other electronic devices that might cause signal interference.
3) Decrease the distance between the remote sensor and the main unit

weather will be in the next 12+ hours. Weather forecast is calculated to be 75% accurate
NOTE: If you have the RMR203HGA, you need to purchase the THGR268 sensor to display outside humidity.
1) Check main unit or remote sensor battery levels by viewing the appropriate icons on main unit display.
2) Place the main unit away from other electronic devices that might cause signal interference.
3) Decrease the distance between the remote sensor and the main unit
Move the remote sensor to a location that will not expose it to direct sunlight or rain.
Min/Max memory resets at 12:00 am everyday.
The Weather Warnings icons will activate when current weather conditions fall under specific temperature,
barometric, or humidity requirements.
"Move the main unit close to a window, away from other electronic devices, and hit the up button to intitiate
an atomic clock signal search. The best time to achieve successful signal synchronizing is during nighttime
hours. It can take up to 24 hours to receive a signal.”
