Intermittent Outdoor Temperature/Humidity 

 

Explanation: 

Intermittent problems are the hardest to resolve. RF (radio frequency) communication may 

come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If outdoor 

sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.  

 

  Move the outdoor sensor to a closer location. 

 

Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of outdoor sensor signal.  

  Check 

Batteries.

 

 

Freezer test:

 Confirm the weather station is reading the correct outdoor sensor. Place the outdoor sensor 

in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the weather station. 

 

Indoor distance test:

 Please complete the 

Restart 

with outdoor sensor and weather station 5-10 feet 

apart and inside to establish a strong connection.  

  After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the outdoor sensor to 

another room with one wall between the outdoor sensor and the weather station.  

  Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1 hour.  

  If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a 

distance/resistance 

issue.  

  Move the outdoor sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the temperature 

reading will hold. 

 

Outdoor Temperature is stuck or HH.H, LL.L 

 

Explanation: 

These symbols are error messages indication the outdoor sensor is outside of its readable 

range.  

 

  Check 

Batteries.

 Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

  Replace outdoor sensor.

 

 

Note: 

The last outdoor reading may remain (not change) for several hours when connection is lost. The 

outdoor temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or intermittent.  

 

Outdoor sensor drains batteries quickly 

 

  Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the 

batteries. 

  When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.  

  Check the 

distance 

and 

resistance

 between the outdoor sensor and weather station. Outdoor sensors 

at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit. 

  Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the outdoor sensor. 

 

Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation:

 If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal 

damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the outdoor sensor. Batteries that have 

fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly. 

 

  Complete a 

Restart

 with fresh batteries. 

  Us

Batteries 

dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six 

years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance. 

 

Note: 

An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely have water 

damage and needs to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
