As you open the box, set aside the three-volt battery.
Place the base panel on a flat surface and pushing the mounting pole with both arrows facing down.
The supplied plug powers your indoor main console.
Unpack the main console and click the three-volt battery into place.
In the event of a power outage this battery protects your data history and ensures all accumulated data is retained.
Attach the outdoor sensor to the mounting pole. This collects your local
wind speed and direction, barometric pressure, temperature, rain data and much more.
Consider where you would like to install the outdoor sensor.
Using the mounting base horizontally, the outdoor sensor can be bolted to any table, bench or flat surface outside.
Alternatively, it can be mounted vertically on a pole.
Using the additional plate provided, once you've chosen your location make sure
you line up the arrows to suit your preferred setup.
While mounting the outdoor sensor ensure that it is level so as to collect accurate data.
You should now have two separate components, the five-in-one wireless outdoor sensor
and the indoor main console with LED display. To pair the outdoor sensor and
the main console, first connect the main console to the power.
Then insert three double A batteries into the bottom of the outdoor sensor.
One the connection is successful the antenna icon and readings from the outdoor sensor will
appear on the LCD display. Being in the southern hemisphere the wind vane needs to point south.
The main console will also need to be switched to southern hemisphere mode.
Start by holding the index button for 10 seconds, on the back of the console
press the UP button, press index again to save your changes.

The next step is to connect your weather station to your router.
Your main console will need to be an AP mode to complete this step. This is active when you first
power up the main console or from normal mode you can access it by pressing and
holding the sensor Wi-Fi button for six seconds.
When in AP mode the LCD display will show the letters AP with a flashing Wi-Fi symbol.
Once in AP mode on the main console, open the Wi-Fi connection options on your computer
and connect to the Wi-Fi network labelled PWS.
After the connection is successful, open a new tab in your web browser and enter
192.168.1.1 in the address bar.
