TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW DO I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSOR WITHOUT LOSING DATA?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose
data or require you to power down your station.
•
If you have a low battery icon on your station, you need to replace the batteries in the
sensor or in the station as indicated.
•
Simply install fresh
into your sensor then hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds
and your station will search for your sensor.
•
When changing the batteries in the station, continue using the power cord. After replacing
the batteries, no other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain time/date
in the event of a power outage.
