I just remounted the pole that my Sky perches on. More securely with brackets. I knew that vibrations and such can trigger rain counting, so I removed it gently and set it aside while the pole was fixed.  
But in the process, I still got .08 inches of non rain added. Well, not a huge deal, but is there a way to adjust that back off?

Rain Check will zero out this false rain data, so no worries!

When I need to perform maintenance or clean my SKY, I quickly detach the unit from the solar power accessory to cut power. Then I don’t have to worry about any odd readings. The small data gap is a good indicator of when maintenance was performed too.

Thank you, I will remember that technique for the future.
