Move the outdoor sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the 

temperature reading will hold. 

 

Outdoor Temperature is stuck or HH.H, LL.L 

 

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

of its readable range.  

 

 

Check 

Batteries.

 Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

 

Replace outdoor sensor. 

 

Note: The last outdoor reading may remain (not change) for several hours when 

connection is lost. The outdoor temperature reading will flash when the connection is first 

lost or intermittent.  

 

Outdoor sensor drains batteries quickly 

 

 

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the 

voltage of the batteries. 

 

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.  

 

Check the 

distance 

an

resistance

 between the outdoor sensor and temperature 

station. Outdoor sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh 

but not after they drain a bit. 

 

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the outdoor sensor. 

 

Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline 

and Lithium batteries. 

 

Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have 

caused internal damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the 

outdoor sensor. Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable 

to function properly. 

 

 

Complete a 

Restart

 with fresh batteries. 

 

Use 

Batteries 

dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated 

earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance. 

 

Note: An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will 

likely have water damage and needs to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, 

not waterproof.
