Troubleshooting

 

Temperature

is showing “E”  

or dashes

•  Relocate the display and/or the sensors. 
• The units must be within 75 ft (23 m) of each other.
• Flashing of the temperature is generally an indication 

of wireless interference. Perform a hard reset to gain 

a strong connection between the units:

1. Bring all 3 units together, side-by-side.
2. Remove all batteries from all 3 units.
3. Reinstall batteries in thermometer display unit first.
4. Reinstall batteries into sensor #1.
5. Reinstall batteries into sensor #2.
6. The display unit should read temperatures from 

both sensors almost instantly.

Inaccurate

temperature

•  Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries in 

sensor when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC). Do not 

use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.

Display screen

not working

•  Check that the batteries are installed correctly. 

Batteries may need to be replaced.

•  Reset display by pressing the RESET button, located 

on the back of the display unit.

Current Temperature 

reads “-H-” or “-L-”

• Verify you’re within the measurable temperature 

range (-40ºF to 100ºF; -40ºC to 37ºC).
