Transmitter (outdoor unit) not
reporting in to console.
There are dashes (--) on the
display console.
Check the transmitter and/or solar panel LED for flashing. You
must remove the radiation shield to view the LED on the
transmitter.
The transmitter has a LED just above the battery compartment.
The solar panel has a led just below the solar panel. The LED
should flash every 48 seconds.
If the LED is not flashing every 48 seconds, Replace the batteries

removing the batteries before re-inserting to the transmitter.
If the batteries were recently replaced, check the polarity. If the
sensor is flashing every 48 seconds, proceed to the next step.

3. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes.

2. The maximum line of sight communication range is
