SECTION 5 • TROUBLESHOOTING and PRODUCT INFORMATION
WIreless RF technology is subject to interference from many sources, as mandated
by the FCC. Occasionally, there will be temporary disconnection to the wireless
sensor. This device is designed to search and acquire the signal again if there is
interference or temporary loss of signal. In most cases, the temperature will show
again if the main unit and wireless temperature sensor are able to re-connect
automatically. If the disconnection lasts longer than a few hours, refer to this
troubleshooting guide.

Possible Solution
Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless
sensors. All units must be within 100 feet
from each other. Make sure both units are
placed at least 3 feet from other electronic
appliances and devices that may interfere
with the wireless communication (such as
TV's, microwaves, computers etc). NOTE: It
may take up to 20 minutes for the main unit
to re-synchronize with the sensors when
batteries are replaced. Use lithium batteries
in sensors when temperature is below -4ºF.
Relocate the main unit. It is important that
the atomic clock sensor (located in the
wireless temperature/humidity sensor) is
located in an area clear of any large stone
or metallic surfaces. Make sure the main unit
is placed at least 3 feet from other electronic
appliances and devices that may interfere
with the wireless communication (such as
TV's, microwaves, computers etc). Large
metallic surfaces will also interfere with the
atomic clock signal.
If wireless reception is bad (no bars), see
"Bad Reception" section above. The wireless
ID setting on each unit must match for all
units to communicate properly. See "Set
Wireless ID" on the next page.
Make certain that the batteries are installed
correctly. The batteries may need replacing.
If you are using the AC power adaptor, make
certain it is plugged in and the outlet power is
switched on.

Set Wireless ID
All wireless ID's
must match
This wireless weather station uses long range 433mhz radio
frequency for communication.
In the event that you have reception problems due to interference,
both the main unit and both wireless sensors have a selectable
wireless ID. The ID switches are located within the battery
compartments of the main unit and the wind sensor. The switch is
located near the battery compartment cover on the temperature
sensor.
You may choose A, B or C; but both the main units and the
wireless sensors ID's must match for successful synchronization.
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC )
can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This will
cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting
40
temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for
wireless sensors placed outdoors.
