23.2 Rain gauge leaf filter
Remove foliage and any other objects which collect
in the leaf filter of the rain gauge regularly. Only
then can precise rain measurement be guaranteed.
24. Troubleshooting errors in the
measuring results
WARNING! The weather station and the outside
sensor contain sensitive electronic components.
Radio waves transmitted e.g. from mobile telephones,
walkie talkies, radios, remote controls or microwaves
may influence the functionality of the weather station
and the outside sensor and lead to imprecise meas-
urements. It is therefore important to maintain as
great a distance as possible between the weather
station and the external sensor and devices which
send out radio waves. Electrostatic charge can also
influence the measuring results. In this case, reset
the weather station and the external sensor. This is
done by removing the batteries and inserting them
again after approximately 5 seconds.
NOTE! All saved data is lost.
Obstacles such as concrete walls can also cause
that the reception is disturbed. In this case, change
the location (eg near a window). Please take note
that the external sensor should always be set up
within max. 25 meters (open space) from the base
station. The specified range is the free-field range
and means that no obstacle should be between the
remote sensor and the base station. A "visual con-
tact" between remote sensor and base station often
improves the transmission.
Cold (outdoor temperatures below 0°C) can reduce
the battery power of the outdoor sensor and thereby
negatively impair the radio transmission.
Another factor that may cause harmful interference,
are dead or weak batteries in the outdoor sensor.
Replace them by new ones.

If your weather station is not working correctly,
please remove the batteries for a short while and
then replace them.
25. Cleaning
Only clean the device with a damp cloth. Never
immerse the weather station, wind gauge or rain
gauge in water.
26. Disposal
Disposing of the devices:
Never dispose of the devices in normal
household waste. The devices should be
disposed of via an authorized waste
disposal company or your local waste
disposal organization. The valid regulations
must be complied with. If in doubt, contact
your waste disposal organization.
Disposing of batteries:
Dispose of the batteries before disposing
of the device. Old batteries should not
be disposed of in household waste.
Return your used batteries to your dealer
or the designated returns point.
Disposing of packaging:
Dispose of all packaging material in an
environmentally friendly manner.
