1. 

Bring the outdoor sensor and temperature station together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart 
with nothing between them.  

2. 

Hold the SENSOR SEARCH button on the temperature station. The outdoor temperature area will 
flash. 

3. 

Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button to send the 
signal. 

4. 

Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the temperature station. 

 

 

Factory Restart: 

If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset. 

 

Outdoor Temperature Signal Strength 

 

Explanation:

 The temperature station will search for the outdoor temperature outdoor sensor for 3 

minutes after batteries are installed or the SENSOR SEARCH button is held for 3 seconds. 

 

 

The antenna symbol will flash during reception. 

 

The 

temperature display will be dashes “---“. 

 

If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.  

 

If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.  

 

If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show without bars.  

 

The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.  

 

Dashes show for Outdoor Temperature 

 

Explanation:

 Dashes mean the connection is lost between the temperature station and the outdoor 

sensor.   

 

 

Batteries

 often resolve the connection. 

 

Distance/Resistance 

can cause loss of connection between the outdoor sensor and the temperature 

station.  

  Turn the temperature station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor to provide better reception. This 

allows more antenna surface to face the outdoor sensor signal.  

  Try the 

quick connect 

or 

factory restart.

 

 

Power Requirements 

 

  2-AA 

batteries

 power the outdoor sensor.  

  We recommend Alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor. 

  You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C. 

 

Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading 

 

Explanation: 

High outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low outdoor temperature 

readings are power related or a sensors going bad. 

  The outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside the home, it 

will read inside temperature. 

  When the outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a 

positioning

 problem. 

  Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat. 

 

Side-by-side test:

 Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the temperature station for 

2 hours.  

  Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to be within 

tolerance.  

  If the outdoor sensor reads correctly when next to the temperature station, try a different location 

outside.  

 

Intermittent Outdoor Temperature 

 

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.
