Troubleshooting
Temperature
is showing “E”
or dashes
• Relocate the display and/or the sensors.
• The units must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Flashing of the temperature is generally an indication
of wireless interference. Perform a hard reset to gain
a strong connection between the units:
1. Bring all 3 units together, side-by-side.
2. Remove all batteries from all 3 units.
3. Reinstall batteries in thermometer display unit first.
4. Reinstall batteries into sensor #1.
5. Reinstall batteries into sensor #2.
6. The main unit should read temperatures from both
sensors almost instantly.
Inaccurate
