Problem 
Solution 
Wireless remote (probe thermometer) not 
reporting in to console. 
There are dashes (--.-) on the display 
console. 
If any of the sensor communication is lost, dashes (--.-) 
will be displayed on the screen. To reacquire the signal, 
press and hold the CHANNEL/+ button for 3 seconds, 
and  the  remote  search  icon   will  be  constantly 
displayed.  Once  the  signal  is  reacquired,  the  remote 
search  icon   will  turn  off,  and the  current  values 
will be displayed. 
The maximum line of sight communication range is 300’ 
and 100’ under most conditions. Move the sensor 
assembly closer to the display console. 
If the sensor assembly is too close (less than 5’), move 
the sensor assembly away from the display console. 
Make sure the remote sensor LCD display is working 
and the transmitter light is flashing once per 60 seconds. 
Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote probe 
thermometer. For cold weather environments, install 
lithium batteries. 
Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting 
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth 
barrier (down a hill). 
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. 
Temperature sensor reads too high in the 
day time. 
Make sure the probe thermometer 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 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is 
± 1 °F). 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor temperature to a known source. 
Display console contrast is weak 
Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
