Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 

degrees to be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within 

tolerance.  

 

If the sensor reads correctly when next to the Professional weather station then 

try a different location outside.  

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected 

heat. 

 

OUTDOOR READINGS ARE STUCK OR OFL 

 

 

Check batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this 

reading. 

 

Replace sensor. 

 

INTERMITTENT SENSOR READINGS 

 

 

RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally.  This can be 

normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates).   

 

If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own.  Please 

be patience – these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out. 

 

RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on.  

 

Certain temporary conditions can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% 

humidity).  

  

If a miss happens: 

 

Hold the DOWN ARROW button for 5 seconds to search for sensor. 

 

The units try for 20 minutes to reconnect. After 20 minutes, the sensor stops 

trying for an hour (to preserve battery life). After the 1-hour break, the sensor 

will start another 20-minute re-connect cycle.  

 

Distance/Resistance

 can cause loss of sensor signal. Avoid having more than 1 

wall, window, tree etc., between the display and the sensor. UV coated windows 

may actually reflect the signal. Stucco walls will absorb the signal. 

 

Check

 batteries

. This is our primary warranty issue. 

 

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. This is helpful in 

determining the problem. 

 

Check the distance and resistance between the sensor and Professional weather 

station. 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 sensor.
