Problem Solution 

If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 1.5m), move 
the sensor assembly away from the display console. 
 
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working 
and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds. 
 
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote 
thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments, 
install lithium batteries. 
 
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting 
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth 
barrier (down a hill). 
 
Move the display console around electrical noise 
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other 
wireless transmitters or receivers. 
 
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the 
remote sensor to a closer location. 

Temperature sensor reads too high in the 
day time. 

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a 
shaded area. The pre preferred location is a north facing 
wall because it is in the shade most of the day.     

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not 
agree 

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature 
sensors should agree within 2 °C (the sensor accuracy is 
± 1 °C). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor temperature to a known source. 

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not 
agree 

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors 
should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor humidity to a known source. 

Display console contrast is weak 

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries. 

Outdoor color does not change as 
expected. 

Make sure the outdoor sensor is assigned to Channel 1.
