TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW DO I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSORS WITHOUT LOSING DATA?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose
data or require you to power down your station.
•
If you have a low battery icon on your station, you need to replace the batteries in the
sensor or in the station as indicated.
•
Simply install fresh
into your sensor then hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds
and your station will search for your sensors.
•
When changing the batteries in the station, continue using the power cord. After replacing
the batteries, no other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain time/date
in the event of a power outage.
BAR CODE: WHAT ARE THE BARCODES AND ID NUMBERS
ON MY SENSORS AND ON MY STATION?
•
Did you know that your sensors will “lock” into your station?
•
This ensures that the sensor readings are from your sensor and not a neighbors’.
•
When you press and release your SENSOR button you will see your station ID, your
thermo-hygro sensor ID, and your wind speed sensor ID and your rain sensor ID.
•
The sensor ID on the station should match your first six numbers on the barcode of that
sensor.
•
These sensors will remain locked to your station until you manually delete them.
