Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4°to be within
tolerance.
If the sensor reads correctly when next to the clock then try a different location outside.
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
What is the temperature? This sensor reads down to
–4 degrees F. when the temperature is
below that, the outdoor temperature can show OFL, dashes or stick at a number. If the
temperature is hovering at about
–4 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature may come and go.
RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in
some environments (e.g. moister climates). If 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.
Freezer test:
Confirm the clock is reading the correct outdoor sensor. Place the sensor in
the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the clock.
Indoor distance test:
with sensor and clock 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 sensor to
another room with one wall between the sensor and the clock. 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

can cause loss of sensor signal.
Check
Outdoor Temperature Is Stuck or LL.L. HH.H
What is the temperature? This sensor reads down to
–4 °F. When the temperature is
below that, the outdoor temperature can show LL.L, HH.H, dashes or stick at a number. If
the temperature is hovering at about
–4 °F, the temperature may come and go.
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
between the clock and the outdoor sensor.
Check
. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
Replace outdoor sensor.
Outdoor Sensor Fell and No Longer Works
If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal
damage.
An outdoor sensor that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or snow may have
water damage.
Sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
A fall can shock the sensor or the batteries in the sensor.
Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function
properly.
Use
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.
