24.2 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.
25. 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.

26. Cleaning

Only clean the device with a damp cloth. Never
immerse the weather station, wind gauge or rain
gauge in water.

27. Disposal

The packaging is made entirely of recyclable mate-
rials, which you may dispose of at local recycling
facilities.
Contact your local refuse disposal authority for more
details of how to dispose of your worn-out product.
To help protect the environment, please
dispose of the product properly when it
has reached the end of its useful life and
not in the household waste. Information
on collection points and their opening
hours can be obtained from your local
authority.
Faulty or used batteries must be recycled in accord-
ance with Directive 2006 / 66 / EC and its amend-
ments. Please return the batteries and / or the device
to the available collection points.
Environmental damage through
incorrect disposal of the batteries!
Batteries may not be disposed of with the usual do-
mestic waste. They may contain toxic heavy metals
and are subject to hazardous waste treatment rules
and regulations. The chemical symbols for heavy
metals are as follows: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury,
Pb = lead. That is why you should dispose of used
batteries at a local collection point.
