• Relocate the display 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 (.9 m)
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 use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries. NOTE:
It may take a few minutes for display and sensor to
synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display indoors and
remove batteries/power adapter from each.
2. Reinstall batteries in outdoor sensor.
3. Reinstall batteries/power adapter in display.
4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other for
a few minutes to gain a strong connection.
Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an
indication of wireless interference.
• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery
compartments of both the display and sensor are
switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or
C; but both units must match to sync up. Sometimes
changing to a different channel can help.
• Weather Forecast icon predicts conditions for the next
12 to 24 hours, not current conditions.
• Allow unit to run continuously for 33 days. Battery
removal or resetting the display will restart Learning
Mode. After 14 days, forecast should be fairly
accurate, however Learning Mode calibrates for a
total of 33 days.
• Check that the power adapter is plugged into the
display and an electrical outlet.
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing and HOLDING the
"RESET" button, located on the back of the display.
Date and time will need to be entered after a reset.
