Problem
• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 sensor.
The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 feet
(90 cm) away from electronics that may interfere with
the wireless communication (such as TVs, microwaves,
computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in
sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not

• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove power adapter/batteries from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall power adapter/batteries in display unit.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for about 20 minutes to gain a strong connection.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
indication of wireless interference.

humidity • Make sure 5-in-1 sensor is mounted at least 5 ft off of
the ground.
• Calibrate indoor and outdoor temperature and
humidity (see page 19).
• Check to ensure the rain gauge stabilizer (plastic tab)
has been removed from the bottom of the sensor (see
page 7).
No rainfall
• Clear debris, such as leaves, out of the rain collector
funnel and debris screen.
• Calibrate the Rain Gauge (see page 20).
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
Inaccurate wind
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it's mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
