Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
• 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
(.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 -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
no bars
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall 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.
Weather Ticker
Hard to Read
• Slow down the speed of the ticker (see page 14).
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.
