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 

but not at night, it is a 

mounting

 problem. 

 

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 

batteries

 are good. 

 

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.
