Batteries
Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as weather stations.
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.
Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years in the future. Battery
technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the
environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment. A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary
for proper performance.
Outdoor Transmitter:
Use Alkaline batteries or Lithium for temperatures below 32°F, 0°C.
Weather station:
Use A/C power cord and/or Alkaline batteries. Overpowered or underpowered
batteries may cause loss of indoor readings, missing segments, dim display etc.
