Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of connection between the remote sensor and 

the weather station.  

 

Turn the weather station 90 degrees towards the remote sensor to provide better 

reception. This allows more antenna surface to face the remote sensor signal.  

 

Try th

quick connect 

or 

factory restart.

 

 

Power Requirements 

 

 

2-AA

 batteries 

power the remote sensor.  

 

We recommend Alkaline batteries for the remote sensor. 

 

You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C. 

 

Inaccurate Remote Temperature Reading 

 

Explanation: High remote temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low 

remote temperature readings are power related or a sensors going bad. 

 

 

The remote sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside 

the home, it will read inside temperature/humidity. 

 

When the remote sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a 

positioning

 

problem. 

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat. 

 

Side-by-side test: Place the remote sensor right next to the weather station for 2 hours.  

 

Compare indoor and remote temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 

degrees to be within tolerance.  

 

If the remote sensor reads correctly when next to the weather station, try a different 

location outside.  

 

Intermittent Remote Temperature 

 

Explanation: Intermittent problems are the hardest to resolve. RF (radio frequency) 

communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments 

(e.g. moister climates). If remote sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to 

reconnect on its own.  

 

 

Move the remote sensor to a closer location. 

 

Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of remote sensor signal.  

 

Check 

Batteries

. 

 

Freezer test: Confirm the weather station is reading the correct remote sensor (not a 

neighbor’s sensor). Place the remote sensor in the freezer for an hour and watch the 

temperature drop on the weather station. 

 

Indoor distance test: Please complete the 

Restart 

with remote sensor and weather station 

5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.  

 

After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the remote temperature area, move the remote 

sensor to another room with one wall between the remote sensor and the weather 

station.
