Temperature Station is dim
Most Temperature Stations have a gray background. Place the Temperature Station at eye
level. Is it still dim?
Temperature Stations that sit in the sunlight can develop a cloudy film over time.
This is generally a power related issue.
Batteries
may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from Temperature
Station.
Press any button 20 times. Leave the Temperature Station unpowered for 1-2 hours.
Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
Temperature Station has distorted display
On a brand new Temperature Station, check for thin plastic films of printed scratch guard
that may be on the LCD screen of the Temperature Station. This thin piece of plastic has
printed numbers for store displays. This can make the Temperature Station display appear
“frozen”.
With all power removed the Temperature Station should be blank.
If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard.
