Quick Connect
Explanation: The quick connect is used for a weather station and outdoor sensor that have been working
but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not a thorough factory reset.
1.
Bring the outdoor sensor and weather station together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart with
nothing between them.
2.
Hold the SENSOR SEARCH button on the weather station. The outdoor temperature area will flash.
3.
Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button to send the
signal.
4.
Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the weather station.
Factory Restart:
If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.
Outdoor Temperature Signal Strength
Explanation: The weather station will search for the outdoor temperature/humidity outdoor sensor for 3
minutes after batteries are installed or the SENSOR SEARCH button is held for 3 seconds.
The antenna symbol will flash during reception.
The temperature display will be dashes "---".
If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.
If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.
If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show without bars.
The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.
Dashes Show for Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the weather station and the outdoor sensor.

Turn the weather station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor to provide better reception. This
allows more antenna surface to face the outdoor sensor signal.

Power Requirements

power the outdoor sensor.
We recommend Alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor.
You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: High outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low outdoor temperature
readings are power related or a sensors going bad.
The outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside the home, it
will read inside temperature/humidity.
When the outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat.
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the weather station for 2
hours.
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to be within
tolerance.
If the outdoor sensor reads correctly when next to the weather station, try a different location outside.
