    Troubleshooting Guide My Forecaster’s display is totally blank Confirm that the batteries are properly aligned with the (+) and (–) terminals, and be sure to use fresh batteries. If you’re using the AC adapter, make sure it’s plugged into a live outlet. I turned it on and now the screen just shows little dashes This happens until your Forecaster receives its first update from our network.
  • Page 17 that the next update your Forecaster receives will remedy this situation. If you’ve waited four hours or more without seeing the rest of the screen display data, check the signal indicator to ensure that your Forecaster is able to receive updates. I don’t see any bars next to the signal strength indicator This means that your Forecaster is in an area with poor reception.
