No outdoor sensor

Relocate the display unit and/or the 3-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 batteries from each.
2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.
3. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.
4. Reinstall batteries in the display unit.
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Outdoor
temperature

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 wind
readings
What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
Check location of the sensor. Ensure it’s mounted a
minimum of 5 ft 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.
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 in the battery compartment of the display
unit.
