
Note: When first powered up it is natural for the forecast station to search
across all three channels for up to 15 minutes for outdoor transmitters.

You may have an additional compatible outdoor transmitter within range.

Occasionally a neighbor will have a compatible outdoor transmitter that is within
range.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Reading

The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home it
will read inside temperature/humidity.

When the transmitter reads high during the day but not at night it is a
positioning
problem.

Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next
to the Forecast station for 2 hours.

Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within
tolerance.

If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the forecast station then try a
different location outside.

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected
heat.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature/Humidity

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.

Check Channels : The forecast station may be reading more than one
transmitter.

Freezer test: Confirm the forecast station is reading the correct outdoor
transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the
temperature drop on the forecast Station.

Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with transmitter and
forecast station 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
forecast Station. Observe to see if the temperature/humidity remains on
consistently for 1-hour.

If the temperature/humidity remains on while in the house then it is likely a
distance/resistance issue. Move the transmitter to different locations outside to
find a location where the temperature/humidity reading will hold.

Distance/Resistance can cause loss of transmitter signal.

Check Batteries .
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 or other standing water or
snow may have water damage.
