To function properly, the wireless sensor must be started correctly using good quality alkaline batteries.

     

Section 1 - General Information

     
Question 1   Weather station not started properly
     
   

In order to establish proper communication between the display and outdoor transmitter it is important that they be set up as follows:

  1. Bring both units inside and have the units 3-5 feet apart with nothing in-between them.
  2. Remove the batteries from both units.
  3. Press one of the buttons on the display at least 20 times to clear all memory. Verify that the display is blank before proceeding.
  4. Using a good quality alkaline battery place them back into the remote sensor; making sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment. Next, taking care not to press any buttons, reinstall the batteries in the display according to the diagram in the battery compartment.
  5. Do not press any buttons for at least 15 minutes after installing the batteries. (Let them establish a good connection.)
  6. An outdoor temperature should be showing on your display. You can now put your outdoor sensor back outside.
     
Question 2   Maximum Distance Between Receiver and Sensor
     
   

Subtract 25-30 feet for an exterior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. Subtract 15-20 feet per interior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. (An obstruction would include anything that is between the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.) Also keep your units away from electronic appliances like TV’s, microwaves, computers, refrigerators, and speakers.
