flash. The monitor is now searching for all remote sensors for 2 minutes. Total rainfall reading (in
this case "0" mm or inch) will appear within 2 minutes if the RF transmission is successful and the
monitor & rain gauge are now within the effective transmission range.

transmission is failed. Shorten the distance between the monitor & rain gauge. Reset the rain
gauge by removing all batteries from the rain gauge and wait for 10 seconds before re-installing the
batteries again. Then repeat step 5 (& 6) until the RF communication is completed.
