Troubleshooting
No outdoor sensor
reception
no bars
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) 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.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset display by pressing the RESET button, located
on the back of the display unit inside the battery
compartment. Date and time will need to be entered
after a reset.
Outdoor
temperature
is ashing or
showing dashes
Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an
indication of wireless interference.
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove at least one battery from each.
2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.
3. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor.
4. Reinstall the battery 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.
Inaccurate
temperature
• Make sure both the display unit and sensor are
placed out of direct sunlight and away from any heat
sources or vents (see page 7).
The unit lost power
or batteries were
changed and the
time is not correct
• The Intelli-Time battery needs to be replaced
(see page 10). Once the new battery is installed,
time and date will need to be set manually.
