Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Solution
No reception
no bars
If the wireless signal indicator shows no bars:
• Relocate the display and/or wireless sensor. The
products must be within 330 ft (100 m) of each other.
• Make sure products (display and Sensors) are placed
at least 3 feet (.9 m) away from electronics that may
interfere with the wireless communication (such as
TVs, microwaves, computers, etc).
• Use standard alkaline batteries (or lithium batteries
in Sensors when temperature is below -4ºF/-20ºC).
Do not use heavy duty or rechargeable batteries.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the display and
sensor(s) to synchronized after batteries are replaced.
Display screen
not working
• Check that the batteries are installed correctly.
Batteries may need to be replaced.
Sensor not recognized /
blank sensor data
If the Home Environment Display is being used with
more than one Temperature & Humidity Sensor (models
06002 or 06044), the A-B-C channels must differ
between each sensor.
1. Bring the display and wireless sensors together and
position them side-by-side.
2. Remove the batteries from the display.
3. Verify that each sensor has a different A-B-C
channel selected.
• ode   ocate the A sitch inside the
battery compartment to adjust channel setting.
• ode   ocate the A button on the bac
of the sensor to adjust channel setting (indicated on
sensor display).
4. Re-install sensor batteries (if applicable).
5. Re-install display batteries.
Note: It may take a few minutes for the display and
sensor(s) to synchronized after batteries are replaced.
Inaccurate
temperature
or humidity
• Verify the product that is reporting an inaccurate
temperature reading is placed out of direct sunlight and
away from any heat sources or vents (see page 6).
• Verify the product that is reporting an inaccurate
humidity reading is positioned away from moisture
sources (see page 6).
