Problem Solving

1. If the LCD readout is faint, replace the batteries.

2. If temperatures do not display on the base unit or seem irregular:

a) Check to see the cable is not crimped, severed or otherwise

damaged;

b) Relocate sensor probe if it is obstructed from weather condi-

tions or in contact with an object that might affect temperature

readings (hot metal object, snow, etc.)

c) Remove and reinstall all batteries, using new fully charged bat-

teries;

d) Repeat set-up procedures;

3. If new batteries are faulty on the initial installation, install fresh

batteries. If you did not notice the Low Battery icon warning and

the product performed correctly after initial set up, the batteries

have lost their charge. Replace the batteries (see To Power up

Weather Forecaster).

Display Information

If the receiver unit does not receive a transmission from the sensor

probe for 1 hour, the display will show dashes. Remove and reinstall

all batteries and repeat set up procedures. Check to see that the

cable is not crimped or severed and the sensor is not obstructed.

Try various locations for the sensor probe if necessary.

Over- or under- temperature range displays:

If the temperature is outside the unit’s temperature range of -40°F

to 158°F / -40°C to 70°C (with use of lithium batteries), the LCD will

show “HH” (higher than the temperature range) or “LL” (lower than

the temperature range). When temperatures are within the range,

the readings will return. If necessary, relocate the sensor probe

away from locations with extreme temperatures (such as snow or

a hot surface).
