Problem
Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
(90 cm) 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 -4
º
F/-20
º
C). 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.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove power adapter/batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter/batteries in display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Outdoor
temperature
is flashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
indication of wireless interference.
• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery
compartments of both the display unit and sensor are
switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or
C; but both units must match to sync up. Sometimes
changing to a different channel can help.
Inaccurate forecast
• 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.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and 5-in-1 sensor are
placed away from any heat sources or vents
(see page 11).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see page 11).
• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of
the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 19).
No rainfall
• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)
has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see
page 7).
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 20).
Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray
lubricant.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing and holding the CLEAR
RECORD / RESET button, located in the battery
compartment of the display unit. Date and time will
need to be entered after a reset.
