•
Consider the signal path from your station to each sensor as a straight line.
•
Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.
Resistance:
•
Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•
Mounting your sensors on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•
Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensors and your station.
•
Simple relocation of the sensors or the station may correct an interference issue.
•
Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•
Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•
Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military
bases, etc. may cause interference.
•
Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.
CAN I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSORS WITHOUT
LOSING DATA?
S75617:
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose
data or require you to power down your station.
•
When Battery Indicator shows in the Outdoor Sensor area, replace batteries in your Outdoor
Sensor.
•
Then hold the +/OUT button for 3 seconds and your station will search for your sensor.
•
When changing the batteries in the color station, continue using the power cord. After
replacing the batteries, no other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain
time/date in the event of a power outage.
308-147:
Hold the PLUS button to search for the Outdoor Sensor.
FACTORY RESET: HOW DO I FACTORY RESET MY STATION?
To factory reset your S75617:
1.
Hold the ALERTS and RAIN buttons together for 5 seconds.
2.
When your station resets it will look for all sensors. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire
the sensors.
308-147:
1.
Remove batteries from the station and sensor for 15 minutes. Press any button 20 times.
2.
Insert fresh alkaline batteries into the sensor and into the station. Allow at least 10 minutes to
reconnect.
