  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. 
 

Thermohygro 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. This is helpful in determining the 

problem. 

  Check the 

distance

 and resistance between the transmitter and weather station. 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. 

 

Outdoor temperature/humidity is stuck or OFL 

 

  Check 

Batteries.

 Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

  Replace outdoor transmitter. 

 

Thermohygro transmitter stops working when hot 

 

Thermohygro transmitters show Dashes or OFL when the temperature reaches a certain degree, but 
returns to normal readings when the temperature cools down; please check:  

 

BATTERIES: At higher temperatures, batteries can overheat causing transmitter failure. Older and 
weaker batteries are more likely to fail in hot weather. Try a fresh set of 

batteries

 to see if the issue 

is resolved. 

 

DISTANCE/RESISTANCE: When the Thermohygro transmitter is at the edge of the 

distance

 range 

and the temperatures are very hot, the batteries can loose strength and the connection may be lost. 

 

Humidity shows OFL but temperature works 

 

  Complete a restart with fresh batteries. 

  Replace the thermohygro transmitter. 

 

Fahrenheit/Celsius 

 

 

With temperature and humidity icon flashing, hold the SET button to alternate between temperature in 
Fahrenheit (ºF) or Celsius (ºC).  

 

Temperature alerts 

 

Set Temperature Alarm 

1. 

With temperature and humidity icon flashing, press and release the ALARM/CHART button once 
selecting the desired alarm limit–-Upper or Lower. 

2. 

Hold

 the ALARM/CHART button until the temperature alarm icon starts flashing. 

3. 

Use the UP or DOWN arrows to select the temperature alarm value. Press and hold either button for 
fast digits advance. 

4. 

Press the ALARM/CHART button to confirm selection and return to the temperature Alarm selection 
screen. 

Note: 

The temperature alarms have a 1°F (0.5ºC) deviation to prevent false alarms due to small 

temperature fluctuations. Temperature has to fall below (or above) the programmed level(s) to 
activate the alert. 

 

Disable the Temperature Alarm  

1. 

With temperature and humidity icon flashing, press and release the ALARM/CHART button once to 
select the high or low temperature alarm.
