- Outdoor Readings
Outdoor Temperature Displays as —.- (dashes)
Placement of Sensor: The maximum transmission
range is 330 feet in a straight line (line of sight). Trees,
walls, windows, and obstructions will reduce transmis-
sion range by as much as half. (An obstruction would
include anything that is in the line of sight like a roof,
walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.). Certain building ma-
terials such as glass, stucco, and metal framework or
siding, can greatly reduce the range.
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the
life of your sensor, we recommend that you place the
sensor in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct
rain. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but a soak-
ing in water may.
Sensor is wet: If your sensor becomes soaked, bring
the unit inside, remove the batteries and allow the unit
to dry overnight; then restart the station using the Proper
Restart instructions. You can mount the sensor outside
under an eave of your house or any other suitable place
that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the
sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag. You may
also put it in a two-sided bird feeder with a roof.
Restart: Remove batteries from all units and follow the
directions in the Proper Restart section above. If this
does not correct the problem, continue to the next step.
Outdoor Temperature is Inaccurate or Missing
Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries
for both the sensor and the base station.
Placement: The sensor will measure the temperature
in the location where it is placed. Therefore, the unit
must be placed outside to register the outdoor
temperature.
Distance: It may also be that the distance between
the transmitter and the receiver is too great or has too
many obstacles between the units to allow the signal
to reach the transmitter. Please refer to Temperature
Reading Problem 1 regarding sensor placement.
Worn out: Also, your transmitter may be defective or
worn out due to age or weather conditions. If you con-
tinue to have problems, please call for technical support.
Outdoor Temperature Displays as OFL
Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries
for both the sensor and the base station.
If the display shows OFL, your batteries may be weak
or dead. Follow the “Proper Restart” instructions. If
you continue to have problems, please call for techni-
cal support.
Outdoor Readings are Totally Blank
If only the Outdoor Readings portions of the indoor unit
are totally blank (not showing dashes or OFL), this may
a problem with the indoor unit or the batteries. Re-
move all batteries from all units and follow the direc-
tions in the Proper Restart section above, using fresh
batteries. If the problem continues, contact Customer
Support for further instructions.
- Indoor Readings
Indoor Temperature Displays as —.- (dashes) or is
missing
Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries
for both the sensor and the base station. This is almost
always a power issue.

rent values.
- Display Information
Entire Display is Blank
If your temperature station has a blank display it is gen-
erally a power issue. Please be sure you are using good
alkaline batteries dated at least six years in advance.
Remove the batteries from the unit, press the IN/OUT
button 20 times to clear any electricity, and install good
alkaline batteries.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact our
technical support department for assistance.
Segmented Numbers
If your temperature station has missing segments on
numbers or letters, it is generally a power issue. Please
be sure you are using good alkaline batteries dated at
least six years in advance. Remove the batteries from
the unit, press the IN/OUT button 20 times to clear any
electricity, and install good alkaline batteries.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact our
technical support department for assistance.
Display Has Black “ink blob” on it.
If your screen has black on it that may look like an ink
blob, this is likely due to the display unit falling or being
impacted in some way. This is not a warranty issue.
Battery Leakage
Battery leakage is not a warranty issue. We recom-
mend you contact the battery manufacturer if leakage
occurs.
Prevention: Be aware of expiration dates.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Do not mix different brands or types of batteries.
Install according to proper polarity.
Store batteries at room temperature or allow cold bat-
teries to reach room temperature before using.
Do not store your unit for an extended period of time
with the batteries installed.
Remove weak batteries from your device to prevent
leakage.
