Problem 

Solution 

Make sure the remote sensors are not transmitting 
through solid metal (acts as an RF shield), or earth 
barrier (down a hill). 
 
Move the display console around electrical noise 
generating devices, such as computers, TVs and other 
wireless transmitters or receivers. 
 
Move the remote sensor to a higher location. Move the 
remote sensor to a closer location. 

Temperature sensor reads too high in the 
day time. 

Make sure the thermo-hygrometer is mounted in a 
shaded area on the north facing wall. Consider the 
following radiation shield if this is not possible:

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not 
agree 

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature 
sensors should agree within 2 °F (the sensor accuracy is 
± 1 °F). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor temperature to a known source. 

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not 
agree 

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to 
signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor humidity sensors 
should agree within 10 % (the sensor accuracy is ± 5 %). 
 
Use the calibration feature to match the indoor and 
outdoor humidity to a known source. 

Display console contrast is weak 

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
