• Relocate the display unit and/or the 3-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 up to 20 minutes for display unit and sensor
to synchronize after batteries are replaced.
• Synchronize the units:
1. Bring both the sensor and display unit indoors and
remove batteries from each.
2. Make sure the A-B-C switch on both units match.
3. Reinstall batteries in the outdoor sensor.
4. Reinstall batteries in the display unit.
5. Let the units sit within a couple feet of each other
for about 20 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 unit and sensor are
switched to the same letter. You may choose A, B or
C; but both units must match to sync up.
• What is wind reading being compared to? Pro
weather stations are typically mounted at 30 ft high
or more. Make sure to compare data using a sensor
positioned at the same mounting height.
• Check location of the sensor. Ensure it's mounted a
minimum of 5 ft in the air with no obstructions around
it (within several feet).
• Ensure wind cups are spinning freely. If they hesitate
or stop try lubricating with graphite powder or spray
lubricant.
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
• Reset the display by pressing the "RESET" button,
located in the battery compartment of the display
unit.
