Outdoor transmitter fell and no longer works 

 

 

If there is no physical damage to the outdoor transmitter, the fall may not have caused 
internal damage. 

 

An outdoor transmitter that has fallen into a puddle, snow, or other standing water, it 
may have water damage.  

 

Transmitters are water resistant, not waterproof. 

 

A fall can shock the transmitter or the batteries in the transmitter. 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. 
 

Outdoor Transmitter 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 transmitter and Wireless 

Thermometer. Transmitters 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 transmitter. 

 

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

 

Temperature Trend Arrows 

 
The indoor and outdoor temperature trend indicators will update every 30 minutes or less. 
These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours. 
 

 

UP ARROW: Temperature rose more than 1°C/ 2°F in the past three hours. 

 

RIGHT ARROW: Temperature has not changed more than 1°C/ 2°F in the past three 
hours.  

 

DOWN ARROW: Temperature fell more than 1°C/ 2°F in the past three hours. 
 

 

MIN/MAX Temperature readings 

 
The Wireless Thermometer will show the daily minimum and maximum temperatures each 
day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Wireless Thermometer automatically resets the 
min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).   

 

View MIN data:  Press and release the MIN/MAX button to view the minimum Indoor 
and Outdoor Temperatures.
