Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display and/or the outdoor sensor. The units
must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 m)
away from electronics that may interfere with the wireless
communication (such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in sensor
when temperature is below -4˚F/-20˚C). Do not use heavy
duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to 20
minutes for display and sensor to synchronize after batteries
are replaced.
Outdoor
temperature
is flashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an indication of
wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and remove at
least one battery from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall the battery in the display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for about
20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Inaccurate
temperature
• Make sure both the display and sensor are placed out of
direct sunlight and away from any heat sources or vents (see
page 6).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from moisture
sources (see page 6).
Inaccurate forecast
• The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next 12
to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery removal
or resetting the display will restart Learning Mode. After 14
days, forecast should be fairly accurate, however Learning
Mode calibrates for a total of 33 days.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly. Batteries may
need to be replaced.
