Afterwards, the Weather Centre will start receiving data from the transmitter.
The outdoor temperature, humidity wind chill and wind speed should then be
displayed on the Weather Centre. If this does not happen after 30 seconds, the
batteries will need to be removed from both units. You will have to start again
from step 1.

You may then check all cables for correct connection and all components for
correct function by manually turning the wind-gauge, moving the weather-vane,
tilting the rain sensor to hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw, etc
(See
Positioning
below).

Time and date shall be manually set (See
Manual Setting
below).

After the Weather Centre has been checked for correct function with regard to
the above points and found fit, the initial set up of the weather centre system is
finished and the mounting of the system components can take place. It must be
ensured however that all components work properly together at their chosen
mounting or standing locations. If e.g. there appear to be problems with the
915 MHz radio transmission, they can mostly be overcome by slightly changing
the mounting locations.
Note:
The radio communication between the receiver and the transmitter in the open field
reaches distances of max 100 metres, provided there are no interfering obstacles
such as buildings, trees, vehicles, high voltage lines, etc.
8.
Radio interferences created by PC screens, radios or TV sets can in some
cases entirely cut off radio communication. Please take this into consideration
when choosing standing or mounting locations.
