Starting up
Proceed in the order listed below and first
insert the batteries into the rain gauge. Only
then can the base station function properly.
Do not use rechargeable batteries, since
their voltage is too low (only 1.2 V instead of
1.5 V). This affects, among other things, the
precision of the measurements.
Where possible, use alkaline rather than
zinc-carbon batteries. Alkaline batteries
last longer, especially at low outdoor
temperatures.
