Occasionally a neighbor will have a compatible outdoor transmitter that is within range.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature reading
•
The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home, it will read
inside temperature.
•
When the transmitter reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a
problem.
•
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next to the
Wireless Thermometer for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
•
If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the Wireless Thermometer, then try a
different location outside.
•
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
•
RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be
normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is lost, please
wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.
•
Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location.
•
Freezer test: Confirm the Wireless Thermometer is reading the correct outdoor
transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature
drop on the Wireless Thermometer.
•
Indoor distance test: Please complete the
Thermometer 5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
•
After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the
transmitter to another room with one wall between the transmitter and the Wireless
Thermometer. Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1-hour.
•
If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a
issue. Move the transmitter to different locations outside to find a location where the
temperature reading will hold.
•
can cause loss of transmitter signal.

Outdoor Temperature is stuck or HHH, LLL
•
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 between the Wireless Thermometer and the outdoor transmitter.
•
. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
•
Replace outdoor transmitter.
