This wireless rain gauge uses radio frequency for communication, which is susceptible to interference from other electronic devices and large metallic items or thick walls. Always place both units at least 3 feet away from appliances ( TV, microwave, radios, etc. ) or objects ( large metal surfaces, thick stone walls, etc. ) that may interfere with the wireless communication. The Wireless Rain Collector was designed with materials suitable for outdoor use. However, certain environmental conditions may require periodic cleaning of the collector components. If the funnel becomes extremely dirty, rain water may not flow correctly into the rain collector. In most cases, removing and cleaning off the debris screen will be sufficient. Certain locations may have an abundance of plant matter or tree seeds, etc. that may obstruct water flow through the collection funnel. More extensive clearing out and cleaning of the funnel and other components may be required in these cases. The rain monitor feature will sound an audible alert every time the set amount of rainfall is recorded. For example, for every .50 inches (10 mm if in mm mode) of rain that is recorded- the alert will sound briefly. To turn this function on, press the “rain monitor” button ( ). The rain monitor and default set quantity of .50 in. will appear. You may then press the button again to raise the rain monitor value in .50 increments up to 5.00 inches. Press the “rain monitor” button once more after you reach 5.00 inches and the rain monitor feature will turn off. When the alert is sounding, you may press any button to silence the alert.
