–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.
