Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause
alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor
sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in
low temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless
sensors placed outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not
recommended due to higher operating voltages.

Wireless Signal Reception Icon
The display unit has a wireless signal reception icon near the outdoor
temperature display area. If there are a low number of “bars” present
in the icon, you may experience no temperature display ( “- -” ) or
inaccuracy. In either case, you may need to relocate one or both of the
units. If most or all 4 of the bars are present, wireless reception is good
and no action is required.
