Note: The last outdoor reading may remain (not change) for several hours when connection 

is lost. The outdoor temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or 

intermittent.  

 

Outdoor 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 outdoor sensor and weather station. 

Outdoor 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 outdoor sensor. 

 

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

Lithium batteries. 

 

Outdoor Humidity goes to dashes when temperature is cold. 

 

 

The outdoor temperature/humidity sensor designed to work with this weather station 

will drop the outdoor humidity and dew point reading in cold temperatures.  

 

The humidity and dew point will return when the temperature rises. This is how the 

sensor came from the factory. The temperature itself will continue to read. 

 

Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have 

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

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 outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely 

have water damage and need to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not 

waterproof.

Temperature Trend Arrows 

 

Explanation: The indoor and outdoor temperature (2°F / 1°C) trend indicators update 

every 30 minutes or less. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three 

hours. 

Example: At 11:00, the trend arrows will reflect changes in temperature since 8:00.  At 

11:30, the trend arrows will reflect changes in temperature since 8:30, etc.   

 

Two arrows show: No change
