Batteries.

 Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this 

reading. 

 

Replace remote sensor.

 

Note: 

The last remote reading may remain (not change) for several hours when 

connection is lost. The remote temperature reading will flash when the connection 

is first lost or intermittent.  

 

Remote 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

 and 

resistance

 between the remote sensor and atomic clock. 

Remote 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 remote sensor. 

 

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

Alkaline and Lithium batteries. 

 

Remote sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation:

 If there is no physical damage to the remote sensor, the fall may not 

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

the remote 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: 

A remote sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, 

will likely have water damage and need to be replaced. Remote sensors are water 

resistant, not waterproof.

Temperature Trend Arrows 

 

Explanation:

update every 30 minutes or less. These trends represent temperature changes over 

the past three hours.
