Troubleshooting

Problem

No outdoor sensor reception no bars

Outdoor temperature is flashing or showing dashes

Inaccurate temperature or humidity

Inaccurate forecast

Possible Solution

If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:

• Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor.

The units must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet

(.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an indication of wireless interference.

1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and remove at least one battery from each.

2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.

3. Reinstall the battery in the display unit.

4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see page 6).

• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture sources (see page 6).

• The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the display unit? Learning Mode must complete before forecast and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal or resetting the display unit will restart

Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.

• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.

Batteries may need to be replaced.
