Warning – Batteries
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries) that match
the specified type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery contacts
and the polar contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries without
supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of a
different type or make.

5. Installation
Warning
• Buy special or suitable installation material from a
specialised dealer for wall-mounting.
• Ensure that no faulty or damaged parts are installed.
• Never apply force during installation. This could damage
the product.
• Before installation, ensure that the chosen wall is suitable
for the weight to be mounted, and make sure that there
are no electrical wires, water, gas or other lines at the
installation site on the wall.
• Do not mount the product above locations where persons
might linger.
Note – Installation
• We recommend initially placing the base station,
measuring station and wireless rain gauge in the intended
locations without installing them, and making all the
settings described in 6. Operation.
• Only install the stations once the appropriate settings
have been made and a stable wireless connection is
established.
