Problem

Possible Solution

No outdoor sensor

reception

no bars

• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor.

The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet

(.9 m) away from electronics that may interfere with

the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,

computers, etc).

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in

sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not

use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It

may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor

to synchronize after batteries are replaced.

• Synchronize the units:

1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and

remove power adapter/batteries from each.

2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter/batteries in display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other

for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

Outdoor

temperature

is flashing or

showing dashes

Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an

indication of wireless interference.
• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery

compartments of both the display unit and sensor are

switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or

C; but both units must match to sync up.

Weather Ticker

Hard to Read

• Slow down the speed of the ticker (see page 16).

Inaccurate forecast

• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next

12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the

display unit? Learning Mode must complete before

forecast and pressure will be accurate.

• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery

removal or resetting the display unit will restart

Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be

fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for

a total of 33 days.
