If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
•  Relocate the display unit and/or the outdoor sensor. 

The units must be within 165 ft (50 m) of each other.

•  Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet (.9 

m) away from electronics that may interfere with the 

wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves, 

computers, etc).  

•  Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in 

sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not 

use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It 

may take up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor 

to synchronize after batteries are replaced. 

Flashing of the outdoor temperature is generally an 

indication of wireless interference. 

1.  Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and 

remove at least one battery from each.

2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor sensor. 
3. Reinstall the battery in the display unit.
4.  Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other 

for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection. 

•  

Make sure both the display unit and sensor are placed 

out of direct sunlight and away from any heat sources 

or vents (see page 5).

•  Make sure both units are positioned away from 

moisture sources (see page 5). 

• 

 The Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the 

next 12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.

•  Has Learning Mode icon disappeared from the 

display unit? Learning Mode must complete before 

forecast and pressure will be accurate.

•  Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery 

removal or resetting the display unit will restart 

Learning Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be 

fairly accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for 

a total of 33 days.

•  Check that the batteries are installed correctly. 

Batteries may need to be replaced.
