Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and 3-in-1 sensor are
placed away from any heat sources or vents (see page 9).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture
sources (see page 9).
• Make sure 3-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of
the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity
(see page 15).
Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro weather
stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high or more. Make
sure to compare data using a sensor positioned at the
same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around it
(within several feet).
•Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate or stop
try lubricating with graphite powder or spray lubricant.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing and HOLDING the
“CLEAR RECORD/RESET” button, located on the
back of the display unit in the battery compartment.
Date and time will need to be entered after a reset.
