MODUS PLUS – Wireless weather station
• Choose a shady and dry position for the transmitter. (Direct sunshine falsifies the
measurement and continuous humidity strains the electronic components need-
lessly).
• Check the transmission of the signal from the outdoor transmitter to the base sta-
tion (transmission range 75 m free field). Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements,
superstructures), the received signal is naturally weakened.
• If necessary choose another position for the outdoor transmitter and/or base sta-
H
tion.
• If the transmission is successfully, fix the outdoor transmitter by using a nail (not
included) on the wall or place it onto a flat surface.
8. Care and maintenance
• Clean the instruments with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring
agents.
• Remove the batteries if you do not use the products for a long period of time.
• Keep the instruments in a dry place.
8.1 Battery replacement
• Replace the batteries when the battery symbol of the base station appears next to
the time display.
• When the batteries of the transmitter are used up, the low battery icon appears
next to the outdoor temperature display.
• Make sure the polarities are correct. Close the covers again.
• Please note: When the batteries are changed, the contact between transmitter and
receiver must be restored – so always insert new batteries into both units or start a
manual transmitter search.
