Check the 

distance

 and 

resistance

 between the outdoor sensor and weather 

station. Outdoor sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are 
fresh but not after they drain a bit. 

 

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the outdoor sensor. 

 

Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both 
Alkaline and Lithium batteries. 

 

Outdoor Humidity goes to dashes when temperature is cold. 

 

 

The outdoor temperature/humidity sensor designed to work with this weather 
station may drop the outdoor humidity and dew point reading in cold 
temperatures.  

 

The humidity and dew point will return when the temperature rises. This is how 

the sensor came from the factory. The temperature itself will continue to read. 

 

Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation:

 If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not 

have caused internal damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in 
the outdoor sensor. Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and 

unable to function properly. 
 

 

Complete a 

Restart

 with fresh batteries. 

 

Use 

Batteries 

dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries 

dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in 
performance. 

 

Note: 

An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will 

likely have water damage and need replacement. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, 
not waterproof.
