Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Stucco is held up by a metal mesh that can absorb the signal...
Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military
base etc.)
Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
Temperature Station
Power Requirements
2-AA alkaline batteries power this Temperature Station.
Dashes, OFL or Stuck Indoor Temperature/Humidity
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.
If the indoor temperature is still dashes or OFL, the Temperature Station may
need replacement.
Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next
to the Temperature Station for 2 hours.
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperature should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat
of cold.
Temperature Station has missing segments
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 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.
