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 Weather
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 Transmitters: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures
below - 20°F/-28.8°C)
 Weather station: Use Alkaline batteries. Overpowered or underpowered
batteries may cause loss of indoor readings, missing segments, dim display etc.
Weather station Factory Restart
 Remove all batteries from outdoor sensor and weather station.
 Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all
memory.
 Verify that the weather station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines
painted on the screen).
 Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
 Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
 Insert fresh batteries into the weather station.
 Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station.
 When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station.
Allow the outdoor sensor and weather station to sit together for 15 minutes to
establish a strong connection.
 Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
 For optimum 915MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be a distance
of no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air) from the Weather station.
 See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference
for details on
mounting the outdoor transmitter.
