4 Set up Guide
Before you start, you will need a Philips screwdriver (size PH0, not
provided) and find the wrench (size M6) included in package.
Note: We suggest you assemble all components of the weather station,
including base unit in one location so you can easily test
functionality. After testing, place the outdoor sensors in the desired
location. Note, however, that movement during assembly, and
movement after assembly can cause the rain sensor to “falsely”
register rain. It is possible to reset the rain total to 0 via WS View
Plus app.
Attention:
Follow the suggested order for battery installation (outdoor sensor(s)
first, indoor sensor(s) second, optional base unit last).
Ensure batteries are installed with correct polarity (+/-).
Only use new batteries for all battery-operated sensors.
Avoid rechargeable batteries being used.
If outdoor temperature may go below 32 F or 0 C for prolonged periods,
Lithium based batteries are suggested over alkaline type batteries for
any outdoor sensor.
