 Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Stucco is backed by a metal mesh that holds it to the wall.
 Transmitting antennas cause interference such as ham radio, emergency
dispatch centers, airports, military bases, etc.
 Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.)
 Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
 Transmitting a signal through a hill is difficult.
Temperature Station
Power requirements
 2-AAA alkaline batteries power the Temperature Station.
12-Hour or 24-Hour time format
 Display the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format.
 Default is 12-hour time.
 Use the Program Menu to switch time formats.
Note: 12hour time = Fahrenheit temperature reading. 24 hour time = Celsius
temperature reading.
Dashes, OFL or stuck Indoor Temperature
 This is generally a power related issue.
 Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from
Temperature Station.
 Press any button 20 times. Leave the Temperature Station unpowered for 1-2
hours.
 Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
 If the indoor temperature is still dashes or OFL, the Temperature Station may
need replacement.
Inaccurate Indoor Temperature reading
 Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to
the Temperature Station for 2 hours.
 Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperature should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or items that will
reflect heat of cold to the Temperature Station.
Fahrenheit/Celsius
 Use the program menu to switch from Fahrenheit to Celsius.
 When in 24-hour mode, Temperature will read in Celsius.
 When in 12-hour mode Temperature will read in Fahrenheit.
