Problem Possible Solution
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
• Relocate the display unit and/or the 3-in-1 sensor.
The units must be within 330ft (100m) of each
other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
(.9m) 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 batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall 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.
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.

Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and 3-in-1 sensor
are placed away from any heat sources or vents
(see page 9).
• Make sure both units are positioned away from
moisture sources (see page 9).
• Make sure 3-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5ft off
of the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 15).
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Check that power adaptor is fully plugged in (if
using power adapter for power source).
• Reset the display by pressing the reset button,
located on the back of the display unit. Date and
time will need to be entered after a reset.
Inaccurate wind
readings
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30ft
high or more. Make sure to compare data using
a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure itʼs mounted
a minimum of 5ft in the air with no obstructions
around it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they
hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite
powder or spray lubricant.
