Freezer test: Confirm the Weather Station is reading the correct outdoor transmitter. Place
the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the Weather
Station.
Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with transmitter and Weather Station 5-
10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
After 15 minutes if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the transmitter
to another room with one wall between the transmitter and the Weather Station. Observe to
see if the temperature/humidity remains on consistently for 1-hour.
If the temperature/humidity remains on while in the house then it is likely a
distance/resistance issue. Move the transmitter to different locations outside to find a
location where the temperature/humidity reading will hold.
Distance/Resistance can cause loss of transmitter signal.
Check Batteries.
Outdoor Temperature/Humidity is stuck or OFL
The last outdoor reading may remain (not change) for several hours when connection is lost.
The outdoor temperature/humidity reading will flash when the connection is first lost or
intermittent between the Weather Station and the outdoor transmitter.
Check Batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
Replace outdoor transmitter.
Outdoor transmitter fell and no longer works
If there is no physical damage to the outdoor transmitter, the fall may not have caused
internal damage.
An outdoor transmitter that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or snow may
have water damage.
Transmitters are water resistant, not waterproof.
A fall can shock the transmitter or the batteries in the transmitter. Batteries that have fallen
on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly.
Complete a Restart with fresh batteries.
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.
Outdoor Transmitter drains batteries quickly
Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the
batteries.
When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.
Check the distance and resistance between the transmitter and Weather Station.
Transmitters at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they
drain a bit.
Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the transmitter.
Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline and
Lithium batteries.
MIN/MAX Temperature readings
This Weather Station will show the daily minimum and maximum temperatures starting at
midnight (12:00 AM).
The Weather Station will automatically reset the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00
AM).
You can manually reset the MIN/MAX data at any time.
