Insert 2 x AA size batteries into the battery compartment according to the polarity mark on the battery compartment.. 4. Close the battery door. 5. After inserting batteries, the transmission status LED will light up 1 sec. NOTE:
- Once the sensitivity mode is assigned, you can only change it by removing the batteries or resetting the unit.
- Avoid placing the sensor in direct sunlight, rain or snow. LED INDICATOR The flashing mode of lightning indicator and noise indicator means:
Flashing mode Description One lightning strike was detected. Long flash Noise signals was detected, reminding the user that current location has high level noise. Please find another location of lower noise level. Short flash SENSITIVITY SLIDE SWITCH
- The sensor is intended to be installed outdoor under sheltered areas away from noise generated by switches and household appliances that may trigger false lightning.
- Default Setting (DF) is for sensitivity between high and mid levels. If you think the sensor picked up a lot of false lightning strikes, then please try with sensitivity Mid (MI) or Low (LO). If the sensor missed lightning detection, you may try with sensitivity High
(HI). PAIRING THE WIRELESS SENSORS WITH THE CONSOLE The console will automatically search and connect to your lightning sensor. Once your sensor pair up successful, the sensor signal strength indication and weather information will appear on your console display. NOTE:
Every reading transmission, the transmission status LED will flash at once. RESET THE SENSOR In case of mal-function, press [ RESET ] button to reset the sensor. HOW TO PLACE THE SENSOR
- Choose a location on the exterior of the home where can shield the sensor from direct sunlight or wet conditions for an accurate reading.
- Minimize obstructions such as doors, walls, furniture, etc.
- Hang it with the wall mount hole or place it directly on flat surface, and make sure the transmission is within 150 meters approx.
