Checking and cleaning the rain sensor in a timely manner will maintain an accuracy of the
precipitation measurements.

• Clean the swinging mechanism with a damp cloth.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: "The display shows dashes "---" for weather parameter(s)"
A: The display will show "- - -" when the wireless connection with the remote sensor is lost for the
following periods:
Thermo-Hygrometer: 15 minutes
UV Sensor: 30 minutes
Anemometer (Wind Sensor):15 minutes
Rain Gauge (Rain Sensor):30 minutes
Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold DOWN
main unit or handheld remote to enforce a search for all remote signals.
If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding weather sensor
to the main unit and change their locations if necessary.
Although wireless signals can pass through solid objects and walls, the weather sensor should
ideally be within the line of sight of the main unit.
The following may be the cause of reception problems:
• The remote weather sensor and a main unit are too far from each other.
• The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation, are in
the path of transmission.
• There is interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets and baby
listening devices) and electronic appliances.
Q: "The weather readings on my weather station are different from the TV, radio or official
weather reports."
A: The weather data may vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement
of the weather sensors.
Check the placement tips included in this manual to site your weather sensors in the best possible way.
Q: "The weather forecast is inaccurate."
A: The weather forecast predicts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, and does not reflect current
weather conditions.
