The rain gauge has not worked since I purchased this unit. It has been reset and followed instructions several times. Can you help solve this issue?

Hello, We would be happy to assist you with your unit! Please make sure that you are using standard alkaline batteries from a high-quality brand in all units, then perform the following reset.

My machine was purchased in December and it shows negative 40 all the time. How do I fix it?

First, please make sure that you are using fresh batteries in all units, then perform the following reset. Please follow the steps carefully as the order is crucial to the success of the reset. Hard Reset: 1. Bring the display unit, lightning detector/temp and humidity sensor, and rainfall collector indoors and position side by side. 2. Remove the batteries from all units and unplug the display. 3. There is a channel switch on all units right above the batteries. Change the A-B-C switch on all units to a new, matching channel. You must select the same letter choices for the display, rain gauge, and lightning sensor/temp and humidity sensor in order for the units to synchronize. 4. Reinstall batteries in the rain collector and lightning detector/temp and humidity sensor first. 5. Reinstall batteries in the display unit last. 6. Let the units sit within a couple of feet of each other for a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
