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.

Main Unit: Open the battery cover located on the back of the unit. Remove the screw set provided for wall mount use and insert 3 fresh “AA” batteries. (Batteries not included). Replace battery door cover.
