• • • • • Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. We suggest name brand alkaline batteries. Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance. Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage.

• • • It may be helpful to orient the weather 90 degrees towards your sensor for better reception. Sensors operate best when elevated at least 6 feet. Remove the batteries from your sensor for 2 minutes. Replace the batteries in the Thermohygro sensor and after 5 minutes press and hold the SEARCH button for 5 seconds. Wait 10 minutes. If the unit does not receive a reading from all your sensors, please try the factory reset.

• Check batteries. This is our primary warranty issue. SENSOR DRAINS BATTERIES QUICKLY • • • • Test a new set of Alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the batteries. When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining the problem. Check the distance and resistance between your sensor and Weather station. Sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit.

• • • Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range. Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will interfere with the signal. RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt. MOUNT Option 1: • Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall. • Place the outdoor sensor onto the screw (hanging hole on the backside). • Gently pull down to lock the screw in place.

COMFORT COMFORT INDOOR COMFORT STATEMENT • • When the temperature is between 66.2°F and 77°F (19 °C and 25 °C) and the humidity between 40% and 60% (comfort level range) a smiling face appears on the display. If the values are outside this range, a sad face appears instead.
