To fix the humidity reading stuck at 20% on your BIOS WEATHER 386BC:

1. Press the CH button on the monitor to select the remote sensor channel you want to reset.
2. Press and hold the CH button to reset the outdoor temperature and humidity for that channel.
3. The display will show dashes (--.-°C and --%) and update after a few minutes.

If the issue persists, check the remote sensor batteries and ensure it is placed in a suitable location away from extreme conditions.

To fix the signal issue with the BIOS WEATHER 386BC remote after replacing the batteries, follow these steps:

1. Ensure all batteries are fresh and correctly inserted in both the monitor and remote sensor.
2. Move the CH slide switch on the back of the remote sensor to channel 1.
3. Make sure the transmission indication LED on the remote sensor is on.
4. Avoid placing the monitor near metal window frames or other electronic devices using the 433MHz frequency (e.g., headphones, speakers, doorbells, home security systems).
5. Wait for interference to stop; the temperature reading will resume once the interference ends.

If communication is successful, the RF icon on the monitor will show full signal strength. If not, the RF icon will flash.
