Troubleshooting Q: "The display shows dashes "--" for weather parameter(s)" A: The display will show "- - -" when the wireless connection with the remote sensor is lost for the following periods: Thermo-Hygrometer: 15 minutes UV Sensor: 30 minutes Anemometer (Wind Sensor):15 minutes Rain Gauge (Rain Sensor):30 minutes Check or replace the batteries for the corresponding sensor. Then press and hold DOWN on the main unit or handheld remote to enforce a search for all remote signals. If this does not work, check the wireless transmission path from the corresponding weather sensor to the main unit and change their locations if necessary. Although wireless signals can pass through solid objects and walls, the weather sensor should ideally be within the line of sight of the main unit. The following may be the cause of reception problems: • The remote weather sensor and a main unit are too far from each other. • The signal shielding materials, such as metal surfaces, concrete walls or dense vegetation, are in the path of transmission. • There is interference from the wireless devices (such as cordless phones, radio headsets and baby listening devices) and electronic appliances. Q: "The weather readings on my weather station are different from the TV, radio or official weather reports." A: The weather data may vary considerably due to different environmental conditions and placement of the weather sensors. Check the placement tips included in this manual to site your weather sensors in the best possible way. Q: "The weather forecast is inaccurate." A: The weather forecast predicts the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours, and does not reflect current weather conditions.
