Move the display console around electrical noise

generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other

wireless transmitters or receivers.

Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the

remote sensor to a closer location.

Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through

metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple,

thick walls.

Temperature sensor reads too high in the

day time.

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a

shaded area on the north facing wall. Consider the

following radiation shield if this is not possible:

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not

agree

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature

sensors should agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is

± 2 °F)

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not

agree

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors

should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %)

Absolute pressure does not agree with

official reporting station

You may be viewing the relative pressure, not the

absolute pressure.

Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you properly

calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.

The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg within the

following relative pressure range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg,

which corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet.

At higher altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error.

Time is incorrect

Make sure your time zone and daylight savings time

setting is correct.

The forecast icon is not accurate

The weather station console must run for several days to

trend barometric pressure.

The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of

weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies

from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool

for projecting weather conditions and is never to be

relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

Moon phase is not correct

Check your calendar date and make sure it is correct

Sunrise and Sunset is not correct

Check your longitude and latitude. The most common

issues are:

1. The longitude and latitude are reversed

2. The incorrect hemisphere is selected

3. The incorrect time zone is selected.

4. The date is incorrect.

Display console contrast is weak

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
