2. Attach the assembled anemometer to the base.
3. Remove the 4 x screws at the battery door to open the battery compartment.
4. Plug in the re-chargeable battery according to the polarities shown (coded plug).

The “SET” will toggle the direction between two mode:
1. Let the wind direction as manufacturer design. It will be as a default setting after
2. Set the current direction as NORTH.
Placement tips:
- Check that wind can travel freely around the anemometer and is not distorted by nearby
buildings, trees or other structures.
- For better results, place the anemometer at least 3m above local structures and
obstacles.Thegroundcreatesafrictionaleffecttowindowandwillattenuatereadings.

3. Reattach the latch.
4. You are highly recommended to connect the AC/DC adaptor. For the feathure of the
automatic backlight control function, the AC/DC adaptor must be used.
5. If placing the console unit on a table or horizontal surface, fold out the table stand and
