WIRELESS SENSOR BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
When the low battery indicator icon becomes present, it is recommended that you change the
batteries. Replace only with the same or equivalent type of fresh alkaline batteries. This
method of battery replacement ensures there will be no loss in MIN/MAX and history data.
However, if main unit or sensors have remained without batteries for an extended period of
time, the main unit will lose the MIN/MAX and all weather data recordings and will have to be
synchronized again.
