FLASHING TEMPERATURE
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC )
can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will
cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting
temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for
wireless sensors placed outdoors.

5 • TROUBLESHOOTING
This product features a low power wireless signal, so it does not interfere
with other wireless devices in your location. Occasionally, there will be a
temporary disconnection to the wireless sensor. In most cases, the
temperature will show again if the main unit and wireless temperature
sensor are able to re-connect automatically. If the disconnection lasts longer
than a few hours, refer to this troubleshooting guide.
