Batteries
Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as Weather Stations.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier
than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years in the future.
Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage.
However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment. A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each
battery is necessary for proper performance.
Outdoor Transmitters: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures below - 20°F/-
28.8°C)
Weather Stations: (Optional battery use). Use alkaline batteries. Overpowered or
underpowered batteries may cause loss of indoor readings, missing segments, dim display
etc.
Note: When operating the Weather Station on batteries only, the backlight will only appear
for 8 seconds, when you press the SNOOZE/LIGHT button.
