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.
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.
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
