–Indoor Temperature Readings Display

Plus Button: Indoor Temperature is an optional display in the upper right-hand corner. In normal display mode, press the PLUS button to toggle between Indoor Temperature, Seconds counting, Alarm Time, or the Date in two different formats.

Indoor Temperature Displays as --. - (dashes) or is missing Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries for the base station. This is almost always a power issue.

Indoor Temperature Displays as OFL

Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries for the base station. This is almost always a power issue.

Indoor Temperature is Blank

If only the Indoor Readings portion of the indoor unit is totally blank (not showing dashes or OFL), this may a problem with the indoor unit or the batteries. Remove all batteries from all units and follow the directions in the Proper Restart section above, using fresh alkaline batteries. If the problem continues, contact Customer Support for further instructions.

– Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Readings

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Displays as --.- (dashes) Distance: It may also be that the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is too great or has too many obstacles between the units to allow the signal to reach the transmitter.

The maximum transmission range is 330 feet in a straight line (line of sight). Trees, walls, windows, and obstructions will reduce transmission range by as much as half. (An obstruction would include anything that is in the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.). Certain building materials such as glass, stucco, and metal framework or siding, can greatly reduce the range.

In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you place the sensor in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct rain. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may.

Sensor is wet: If your sensor becomes soaked, bring the unit inside, remove the batteries and allow the unit to dry overnight; then restart the station using the Proper Restart instructions. You can mount the sensor outside under an eave of your house or any other suitable place that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag. You may also put it in a two-sided bird feeder with a roof.

Restart: Remove batteries from all units and follow the directions in the Proper Restart section above.

InHG (inches of mercury) should now be flashing. This can be set in inHG or hPa (hectopascal). To change, press and release the PLUS or MIN/MAX button to make your selection. Press and release the SET button once to move to the next menu item.

12.RELATIVE PRESSURE:

The Barometric Pressure (lower part of screen) will flash. Press and release the PLUS or MIN/MAX button to select the desired relative air pressure value.

Two air-pressure tendency arrows will appear (lower right portion of screen) and a flashing number will appear in the "pressure" area. Press and release the PLUS or MIN/MAX buttons to select the desired forecast sensitivity setting of 0.06, 0.09, or 0.12 inHG.

The lowest (most sensitive) number is used near the high humidity areas, the highest (least sensitive) number is for the low humidity, arid areas, and middle number is for everywhere else. Press and release the SET button once to move to the next menu item.

14.STORM WARNING THRESHOLD VALUE:

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

If you continue to experience problems with your Weather Station after a Proper Restart and Initial Set-up, please see if your problem is described in this Trouble-Shooting Guide and follow the suggestions to attempt to correct the problem before contacting technical support. Please familiarize yourself with the function buttons. These are located on the bottom of the Base station and the Alarm button is on the top. They are: SET, PLUS, HISTORY, MIN/MAX and SNOOZE. These buttons will be used in the trouble-shooting guide.

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity is Inaccurate

Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries for both the sensor and the base station.

Placement: The sensor will measure the temperature in the location where it is placed. A good location is under the eaves on the north side of the house. You can also build a small roof or box for it if you do not have an overhang. Please be sure it is well vented.

Worn out: Also, your transmitter may be defective or worn out due to age or weather conditions. If you continue to have problems, please call for technical support.

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Displays as OFL

Batteries: Be sure you have good alkaline batteries for both the sensor and the base station.

If the display shows OFL, your batteries may be weak or dead. Follow the “Proper Restart” instructions. If you continue to have problems, please call for technical support.

Outdoor Readings are Totally Blank

If only the Outdoor Readings portions of the indoor unit are totally blank (not showing dashes or OFL), this may a problem with the indoor unit or the batteries.

Batteries: Are you using good alkaline batteries dated 6-7 years in advance?

Mounting: Is the rain gauge mounted level? If mounted with screws through the base, please be sure they are only snug and not too tight.
