Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1 hour.  

 

If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a 

distance/resistance 

issue.  

 

Move the remote sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the 

temperature reading will hold. 

 

Remote Temperature is stuck or HH.H, LL.L 

 

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indicating the remote sensor is outside 

of its readable range. 

 

 

Check 

Batteries.

 Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading. 

 

Replace remote sensor. 

 

Note: The last remote reading may remain (not change) for several hours when 

connection is lost. The remote temperature reading will flash when the connection is first 

lost or intermittent.  

 

Remote sensor drains batteries quickly 

 

 

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the 

voltage of the batteries. 

 

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.  

 

Check the 

distance

 and 

resistance

 between the remote sensor and weather 

station. Remote 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 remote sensor. 

 

Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline 

and Lithium batteries. 

 

Remote Humidity goes to dashes when temperature is cold. 

 

 

The remote temperature/humidity sensor designed to work with this weather 

station may drop the remote 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. 

 

Remote sensor fell. The sensor no longer works 

 

Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the remote sensor, the fall may not have 

caused internal damage. A fall can shock the remote sensor or the batteries in the remote 

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.
