Troubleshooting
Q: “The display shows dashes “---” for weather parameter(s)”
A: The display will show “- - -” when the wireless connection with the remote sensor is lost for the following periods:
Thermo-Hygrometer 15 minutes
Anemometer (Wind Sensor): 15 minutes
Rain Gauge (Rain Sensor) 30 minutes
Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold DOWN arrow button on the main unit to
search for all remote signals. If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding sensor to the
main unit and change locations to improve reception. Wireless signals pass through solid objects and walls, however,
whenever is possible the sensor should be within line-of-sight with the main unit.
The following may cause reception problems:
The remote weather sensor and a main unit are too far from each other.
The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation, are in the path of
transmission.
Interference from wireless devices such as: cordless phones, radio headsets and baby listening devices or electronic
