T ROUBLESHOOTING
While the Wireless Weather Station is designed to provide years of trouble-free
operation, occasional problems may arise. If you experience a problem, please
check the troubleshooters listed below before calling the factory. If you still are
unable to solve the problem, call the factory at (510) 732-7814 for assistance.
Please do not return your unit for repair without prior authorization.
✦ Console is receiving erratic data
Enable the Test Mode on the transmitter. If two beeps or more are heard in
a 2.5-second interval, then another Davis wireless system may be operating
nearby on the same ID, or a cordless phone may be operating within 10 feet
of the receiver. Either try changing to a different ID code on both the
receiver and the transmitter, or try moving the phone. Reapply power to
the console to activate the new ID code.
✦ Console is not receiving any data
The transmitter and the receiver may be too far apart, or something in their
path may be interfering, such as foliage, furnishings or cordless phones.
Enable Test Mode on the transmitter to see if it is receiving data. Try mov-
ing the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or eliminating possi-
ble path interferences.
✦ Console is emitting beeps
If you hear single beeps , flip dip switch #4 to turn off Test Mode in both the
transmitter and receiver.
If you hear a double beep , the SensorLink Receiver in the console is not
receiving data. This occurs when the receiver has not received data for 30
minutes. Try moving the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or
eliminating possible path interferences.
If you hear a triple beep , the transmitter is extremely low on power—replace
battery immediately.
✦ Data from the optional WeatherLink program shows temperature, humidity, or wind
values that were constant over some period
The SensorLink Receiver in the console did not receive new data during
this period and passed the last good data to the WeatherLink. Try moving
the receiver closer to the transmitter or vice versa; or eliminating possible
path interferences.
✦ Battery(ies) are not lasting the expected 6 months (for 1 battery) or 1 year (for 2 bat-
teries)
Make sure dip switch #4 in the transmitter is set to OFF to prevent the LED
from flashing unnecessarily when not testing. If you are using two batter-
ies, also make sure that both are fresh when installed.
