Pressure reading is too high /
low / changed
Only transmits when the
transmitter is right beside the
receiver
No outdoor reading occur even
after resetting the units
The pressure sensor in your weather station is very sensitive to voltage
changes if you scroll through the display screen (using the DISPLAY button)
or plug in the AC adaptor with the batteries in it, the pressure may change
because the voltage to the sensor has either increases or decreased. After
a very short period of time, the pressure sensor will adjust itself back to the
correct pressure readings.
A. There is a large amount of transmission interference with the current
location of the main unit and transmitter. There may be too many walls
or electrical interference (caused by appliances in your home) between
the two units.
1. Significantly reduce the distance between the main unit and the
transmitter.
2. Bring the monitor beside the transmitter and remove all the batteries.
Replace them all (View Section 6: Powering Up Your HWS). Connect the
sensors and observe whether ALL the outdoor readings show up. Check
the timing of updates on the home monitor (outdoor readings should
change every 128 seconds). Then, place the monitor back in the regular
position. Check the timing of updates AGAIN on the receiving unit.
If you notice the updates occur every 128 seconds, there should be no
problem. If the screen has not updated within 5 minutes or no updates
occur there is transmission interference between the receiver and the
transmitter. BOTH UNITS MUST BE PLACED IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS TO
REDUCE TRANSMISSION INTERFERENCE.
A. Make sure that you have unplugged and removed the batteries from the
main unit AND the transmitter. Re-insert the batteries in the transmitter
ONLY. Put the transmitter directly on top of a radio (preferably a clock-
radio due to the size - stereo radios may be too large for this test), and
turn the radio to FM 107.9. You should hear a loud beep or pulse roughly
every 128 seconds. Time the pulse to ensure this occurs approximately
every 128 seconds. If no pulse is heard, the transmitter's batteries are
dead or the trasnmisster is defective.
If the pulse does occur approximately every 128 seconds, place the main
unit and the transmitter side by side (turn off the radio). Bring the
monitor
beside the transmitter and remove all the batteries. Replace them all
(View Section 6: Powering up your HWS) and observe whether ALL the
outdoor readings show up. Check the timing of updates on the home
monitor (outdoor readings should change every 128 seconds). Then,
place the receiver back in the regular position. Check the timing of
updates AGAIN on the receiving unit. If you notice the updates occur
every 128 seconds, there should be no problem.
If the screen has not updated within 5 minutes or no updates occur there
is transmission interference between the receiver and the transmitter.
