Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries
manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery
technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However,
the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
•
We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
•
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the outdoor sensors.
•
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
•
Use 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.
•
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
Temperature Station Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the temperature station and outdoor sensor to an
“out-of-the-box” state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1.
Remove all power from outdoor sensor and temperature station.
2.
Press one of the buttons on the temperature station at least 20 times to clear all
memory.
3.
Verify that the temperature station is blank before proceeding (there are some painted
lines that will not disappear).
4.
Leave batteries out of both units for 15 minutes (very important).
5.
Insert fresh Alkaline batteries into the temperature station.
6.
Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7.
Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8.
Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the temperature station.
9.
When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow
the outdoor sensor and temperature station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a
strong connection.
10.
Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
•
For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor sensor no more than 300
feet (91 meters, open air) from the temperature station.
