Batteries
 Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage.
 We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as
Temperature Stations.
 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. However, the environment the batteries reside in for
the 10 years can deplete the power.
 Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF
(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment. A minimum
voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
 Outdoor Sensors: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures below
- 20°F/-28.8°C).
 Temperature Stations: Use alkaline batteries. Overpowered or underpowered
batteries may cause loss of indoor readings, missing segments, dim display, etc.
Temperature Station Factory Restart
FACTORY RESTART:
1. For best results, please bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place 5 feet
from the display unit.
2. Remove batteries from the sensor and batteries from the display.
3. With the power removed, press one of the buttons on the display at least 20
times to clear all memory. Please do this even if the display is blank to remove
any random electricity. Verify the display is blank.
4. It is important with most of our displays to remain without power for at least 15
minutes.
5. Note: Failure to allow a display to rest for 15 minutes can result in failure to
connect with the outdoor sensor or missing segment on the display. The
instruction manual describes a setup for a new unit that has not had time to
build up residual electricity.
6. Please be sure you are using fresh batteries testing to a minimum of 1.48, on a
voltmeter that reads in numbers.
7. Place batteries into the outdoor sensor first. Make sure they are installed
according to the diagrams in the battery compartment.
8. Install batteries into the display according to the diagram in the battery
compartment.
9. Allow the sensor and display to remain 5 feet apart for 15 minutes to establish a
strong connection. Do not press buttons at this time. You should see a reading
on the outdoor temperature area in the first minute.
