MIN | MAX Temperature
 The minimum and maximum temperatures are always shown below the current
temperatures.
 To reset-Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds
 Note: since the MIN/MAX temperatures are whole numbers, when reset they
may be a degree different from the current temperature due to rounding.
Flashing Outdoor Temperature
 The outdoor Temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or
intermittent between the weather station and the outdoor transmitter.
 Distance/Resistance
is generally the cause of intermittent connection or loss of
connection between the transmitter and the weather station.
 Check the position of the weather station. Turn the weather station 90 degrees
towards the outdoor transmitter for better reception.
 Try the quick connect or factory restart.
 Batteries often resolve the connection issue.
Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature
 Dashes means the connection is lost between the weather station and the
outdoor transmitter.
 Batteries
often resolve the connection.
 Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the transmitter and
the weather station.
 Reorientation of the weather station 90 degrees towards the outdoor transmitter
may provide better reception.
 Try the factory restart
.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
 The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home it
will read inside temperature.
 When the transmitter reads high during the day but not at night it is a
positioning
problem.
 Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next
to the weather station for 2 hours.
 Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance. See the section on accuracy
for details.
 If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the weather station then try a
different location outside.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected
heat.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
 RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be
normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is
lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.
 Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location.
