Dashes, HH.H, LL.L or stuck Indoor Temperature 

 

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is outside of 

its readable range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related issue.  

 

 

Batteries

may need replacement. 

 

Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading 

 

Explanation: When the indoor temperature is inaccurate, it is often due to the location of 

the display or overpowered/under powered batteries. You can test the accuracy at you
