Problem

Possible Solution

No outdoor sensor

reception

no bars

• Relocate the display unit and/or the 5-in-1 

sensor. The units must be within 330ft 

(100m) of each other.

• Make sure both units are placed at least 3 

feet (.9m) away from electronics that may 

interfere with the wireless communication 

(such as TVs, microwaves, computers, etc). 

• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium 

batteries in sensor when temperature is 

below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not use heavy duty 

or rechargeable batteries. NOTE: It may 

take up to 20 minutes for display unit and 

sensor to synchronize after batteries are 

replaced.

• Synchronize the units:

1. Bring both the sensor and display unit 

indoors and remove at least one battery 

from each.

2. Reinstall the battery in the outdoor 

sensor. 

3. Reinstall battery into the display unit.

4. Let the units sit within a couple feet of 

each other for about 20 minutes to gain a 

strong connection. 

Outdoor

temperature

is flashing or

 showing dashes

Flashing of the outdoor temperature may be an 

indication of wireless interference.
• Make sure the A-B-C switch in the battery 

compartments of both the display unit and 

sensor are switched to the same letter. You may 

choose A, B or C; but both units must match for 

successful synchronization. Sometimes changing 

to a different channel can help.
