	Problem		Possible Solution
			• Relocate the display unit and/or the 3-in-1 sensor.
			The units must be within 330ft (100m) of each
			other.
			• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
			(.9m) away from electronics that may interfere
			with the wireless communication (such as TVs,
			microwaves, computers, etc).
No outdoor sensor			• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium
	reception		batteries in sensor when temperature is below
			-4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty or
		no bars	rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may take up to
			20 minutes for display unit and sensor to
			synchronize after batteries are replaced.
			• Synchronize the units:
			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 battery into the display unit.
			4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
			for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.

Outdoor	Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
	indication of wireless interference.
temperature	• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery
is flashing or	compartments of both the display unit and sensor
showing dashes	are switched to the same letter. You may choose
	A, B or C; but both units must match to sync up.

Inaccurate forecast	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.

Problem	Possible Solution
	• Make sure both the display unit and 3-in-1 sensor
	are placed out of direct sunlight and away from
Inaccurate	any heat sources or vents (see page 11).
	• Make sure both units are positioned away from
temperature or	moisture sources (see page 11).
humidity	• Make sure 3-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5ft off
	of the ground.
	• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
	humidity (see page 20).
	• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
	weather stations are typically mounted at 30ft
	high or more. Make sure to compare data using
Inaccurate wind	a sensor positioned at the same mounting height.
	• Check location of the sensor. Ensure itʼs mounted
readings	a minimum of 5ft in the air with no obstructions
	around it (within several feet).
	•Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they
	hesitate or stop try lubricating with graphite
	powder or spray lubricant.
	• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
	Batteries may need to be replaced.
Display screen	• Check that power adaptor is fully plugged in (if
not working	using power adapter for power source).
