to the home monitor. (View Section 11: Wireless Transmission).
2. Check the batteries in the transmitter. Replace if needed. (View Section 10:
Changing Batteries in the Transmitter).
3. Make sure that the wind speed sensor cord is securely fastened in the
"wind" slot on the transmitter. (View Section 6: Connecting the Sensors).
4. Bring the monitor beside the transmitter and remove all the batteries.
Replace them all (View Section 7: Powering Up Your HWS) and observe
whether ALL the outdoor readings show up. Check the timing of updates
on the receiving unit (outdoor readings should change every 128
seconds). Then, place the monitor back in the regular position. Check the
timing of updates AGAIN on the receiving unit. If you notice the updates
occur every 128 seconds, there should be no problem.

no problem. If the screen has
not updated within 5 minutes or no updates occur there is transmission
interference between the receiver and the transmitter. BOTH UNITS
MUST BE PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO REDUCE TRANSMISSION
INTERFERENCE.
5. Freezing rain can cause the wind direction pointer to stop moving, thus
constantly displaying the same direction. You can attempt to remove
the ice from the wind sensor, but it is strongly advised to wait
strongly advised to wait for milder
weather to do so.
1. Battery voltage supplied by the 4 x "AA" batteries in the transmitter
is affected by cold weather, especially alkaline batteries. Low voltage
decreases the transmission distance significantly. If you are experiencing
weather below -10ºC/14ºF, it is suggested to use lithium batteries and
place the monitor and transmitter as close as possible to each other.
•
Power Adaptor:
a special transmitter adaptor is available to supply power
to the transmitter rather than using batteries. It is a perfect solution for
your HWS during extremely cold temperatures in the winter months when
batteries may cause problems. Please call 1-800-387-8520 for ordering
information if not found at a local retailer.
•
Wired Transmission:
You may also link your home monitor directly to the
transmitter using wired phone cord (View Section 12: Wired Transmission).
•
Solar Panel:
a solar panel for the transmitter is available to supply power
to the transmitter rather than using the batteries. It is one of the solutions
for our HWS during extreme cold temperatures in the winter months
when batteries may cause problems. Please call 1-800-387-8520 for
ordering information.
2. Electrical storms can cause transmission to stop. If this occurs, you must
reset the monitor and transmitter by removing the batteries and re-
inserting them correctly (View Section 7: Powering Up Your HWS). DO NOT
do this during the electrical storm!
