Temperature sensor reads too high in the

day time.

Indoor and Outdoor Temperature do not

agree

Indoor and Outdoor Humidity do not

agree

Humidity is reading 20% at low humidity

or 95% at high humidity

Absolute pressure does not agree with

official reporting station

The forecast icon is not accurate

Display console contrast is weak

Version 1.4

Install a fresh set of batteries in the remote

thermo-hygrometer. For cold weather environments,

install lithium batteries.

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.

Radio Frequency (RF) Sensors cannot transmit through

metal barriers (example, aluminum siding) or multiple,

thick walls.

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:

Allow up to one hour for the sensors to stabilize due to

signal filtering. The indoor and outdoor temperature

sensors should agree within 4 °F (the sensor accuracy is

± 2 °F)

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 %)

The humidity sensor is out of range (20 to 95%)

You may be viewing the relative pressure, not the

absolute pressure.

Select the absolute pressure. Make sure you properly

calibrate the sensor to an official local weather station.

The barometer is only accurate to ± 0.08 inHg within the

following relative pressure range: 27.13 to 32.50 inHg,

which corresponds to an altitude of -2,200 to 2,700 feet.

At higher altitudes, expect some non-linearity or error.

The weather station console must run for several days to

trend barometric pressure.

The weather forecast is an estimation or generalization of

weather changes in the next 24 to 48 hours, and varies

from location to location. The tendency is simply a tool

for projecting weather conditions and is never to be

relied upon as an accurate method to predict the weather.

Replace console batteries with a fresh set of batteries.
