• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-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 at least one battery
from each.
2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor
sensor.
3. Reinstall battery into the 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 for successful synchronization.
Inaccurate forecast
(Continued from p.14)
• Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from
the display unit? Learning Mode must be
completed before the forecast and pressure
will be accurate.
• Allow the unit to run continuously for 33
days. Battery removal or resetting the
display unit restarts Learning Mode. After
14 days, forecast should be fairly accurate,
however Learning Mode continues to
calibrate for a total of 33 days.
Inaccurate forecast

• The Weather Forecast icon is a prediction
of conditions for the next 12 to 24 hours. It
is not showing current conditions.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
Inaccurate
temperature or
humidity
• Make sure both the display unit and 5-in-1
sensor are placed away from any heat
sources or vents (see page 10 ).
• Make sure both units are positioned away
from moisture sources (see page 10 ).
• Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least
5ft off of the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature
and humidity (see page 17).
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed
correctly. Batteries may need to be
replaced.
• 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.
No rainfall
• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer
(plastic tab) has been removed from the
bottom of the sensor (see page 6).
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain
collector funnel and debris screen.
• See Calibrate the Rain Gauge on page 17.
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 WD-40.
