Move the active RAINWATCH transmitter as close as possible
to your preferred final mounting location. Also move the
RAINWATCH indicator and receiver combination as close as
possible to their final mounting location. Select a location for
the transmitter that is out in the open, away from obstructions
(such as walls or trees) that would shelter the collector from
the rain in various wind directions. Be sure that the LED on the
receiver is flashing ORANGE every four seconds. If the signal
has been lost, move the transmitter to an alternate mounting
location and re-check for proper communication.
