Outdoor Transmitter Fell and No Longer Works
 If there is no physical damage to the outdoor transmitter, the fall may not have caused
internal damage.
 An outdoor transmitter that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or snow may
have water damage.
 Transmitters are water resistant, not waterproof.
 A fall can shock the transmitter or the batteries in the transmitter.
 Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function
properly.
 Complete a restart
with fresh batteries.
 Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year.
Outdoor Transmitter 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 the transmitter and temperature station.
Transmitters at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they
drain a bit.
 Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the transmitter.
 Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline and
Lithium batteries.
