Care & Maintenance 

Display Unit Care 

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. Keep away from dust, 

dirt and moisture. Clean ventilation ports regularly with a gentle puff of air. 

3-in-1 Sensor Care 

Clean the Sensor 

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use caustic cleaners or abrasives. 

Insect Prevention 

Insects may cause obstructions and interrupt data by nesting in or on the 3-in-1 sensor. To limit 

this problem, spray sensor housing with a household insect repellent. Note: Insect repellent 

should not be sprayed on the internal components or into the sensor. Consult insect repellent 

instructions prior to use. 

Snow & Freezing Weather 

The 3-in-1 sensor will not be damaged by freezing conditions. 

Clean the Wind Anemometer  

Remove foreign matter from the outside of the sensor for free movement of the wind 

anemometer. If needed, use a small amount of spray lubricant, clear silicone or graphite 

powder on the anemometer for improved movement. Note: Spray lubricant, clear silicone or 

graphite powder should not be sprayed on the internal components or into the sensor. 

Calibration 

The indoor / outdoor temperature and humidity readings, and barometric 

pressure can be calibrated on the display unit to improve accuracy. Calibration 

can improve accuracy when sensor placement or environmental factors impact 

the data accuracy. 
1. To access calibration mode, press AND HOLD the “  ”, “  ”, and “  ” 

buttons simultaneously for at least 5 seconds. 

2. To adjust the currently selected (flashing) item, press and release the “

 

“ 

or “  “ buttons to calibrate the data value higher or lower from the actual 

3. To save your adjustments, press and release the “  ” button to adjust the 

next preference. The “  ” icon will remain illuminated next to calibrated 

values. 
The preference set order is as follows:
