Dashes Temp/Humidity: Why Does My Thermo-Hygro Sensor Show Dashes On The Station; Why Don't My Temperature/Humidity Readings On My Station Match The Weather Report; Temp Accuracy: Why Does My Thermo-Hygro Sensor Read Inccurately; What Does A Reading Of "Hi" Or "Lo" Mean - La Crosse Technology M82738V2 Faqs

DASHES TEMP/HUMIDITY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the outdoor sensor.
• My first thought is always to check that my
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.
• Next, check your distance, resistance and
at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on
trees or bushes that causing another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel
well through foliage due to the moisture content.
• Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path
for the sensor. If this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90
degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
• When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the PLUS (+) button (Color Station)
or +/SEARCH button (Mini Display) for three seconds to search for your sensor. If you regain
connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain connection, bring the
sensor within 10 feet of the station and complete a factory reset.
WHY DON'T MY TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS
ON MY STATION MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
• Your temperature and humidity readings are from you sensor at your location. Your local
reporting station can be miles away so readings may differ.
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ
• The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day
but not at night it is a
• Side-by-side test: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to your
station for 2 hours.
• Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to
be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within tolerance.
• If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location outside.
• Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that may
cause inaccurate readings.
• If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad sensor.

WHAT DOES A READING OF "HI" OR "LO" MEAN?

• If your outdoor temperature reading shows "HI" or "LO", check that your
