Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path
for the sensor. If this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90
degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
•
When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the PLUS (+) button for two seconds
to search for your sensor. If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If
you do not regain connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and complete a
factory reset.
WHY DON’T MY TEMPERATURE READINGS MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
•
Your temperature readings are from your sensor at your location. Your local reporting station
can be miles away, so readings may differ.
TEMPERATURE ACCURACY
•
The Temperature sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day
•
Side-by-side test: Bring the Temperature sensor in the house and place it next to your
station for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to
be within tolerance.
•
If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station, then try a different location outside.
•
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that may
cause inaccurate readings.
•
If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad sensor.
WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN?
•
If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your
•
Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
•
If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.
TEMPERATURE INTERMITTANT: WHY DOES MY TEMPERATURE
COME AND GO?
•
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 patient
– 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:
•
If sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show dashes after 30
minutes.
