Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display 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 a few minutes for display and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
Outdoor
temperature
is flashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and
remove at least one battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for
a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
Inaccurate
temperature
or humidity
•
Make sure both the display 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).
Inaccurate forecast
•
The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the
next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the
display? 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 will restart Learning
Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly
accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a
total of 33 days.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
