 When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.
 Check the distance and resistance between the outdoor sensor and weather station. Outdoor sensors
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 outdoor sensor.
 Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline and Lithium
batteries.
Outdoor Humidity goes to dashes when temperature is cold.
 The outdoor temperature/humidity sensor designed to work with this weather station may drop the
outdoor humidity and dew point reading in cold temperatures.
 The humidity and dew point will return when the temperature rises. This is how the sensor came from
the factory. The temperature itself will continue to read.
Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works
Explanation:
If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal
damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the outdoor sensor. 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. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Note:
An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely have water
damage and need replacement. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.

Temperature/Humidity Trend Arrows
Explanation:
The temperature trend indicators update with every 15 minutes and look back over the past
hour.
 Change in temperature (2°F / 1°C)
 Change in humidity (3% RH)
 1 hrs. comparison which changes on every 1/4 hour
E.g.: At 1:00 - compare to 12:00 data; at 1:15 -compare to 12:15: at 1:30 - compare to 12:30 ….. etc.
UP Arrow:
Temperature or humidity has risen in the past hour.
DOWN Arrow:
Temperature or humidity has fallen in the past hour.
HI/LO Temperature readings
Explanation:
The weather station shows the daily HI and LO temperatures each day starting at midnight
(12:00 AM). The weather station automatically resets the HI/LO temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
