HEAT INDEX & DEW POINT EXPLAINED
Heat Index:
Heat Index combines the eects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of how hot it feels to a
human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool eectively. The temperature will feel
warmer.
Dew Point:
Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to cool in
order to create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a
given temperature.

Wireless Temperature & Humidity Station Page | 10
TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY TREND ARROWS
The temperature and humidity trend indicators update with every 15 minutes and look back over the past

SENSOR SEARCH
• If you are seeing dashes in place of outdoor temperature, first check your sensor batteries.
• Hold the TEMP button for 3 seconds to search for the sensor. Sensor Reception icon will flash while
searching and be solid when sensor signal is received.
• If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great. If you do not regain connection, bring the
sensor within 10 feet of the station and search again.
Note:
• If the signal is lost, the RX will display the ast data recorded from sensor for 10 minutes.
• After that 10 minutes if the signal does not come back then you will see dashes “--”.
• After 30 minutes, start looking for the sensor signal automatically.
The unit predicts weather condition of the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure. The
weather forecast is about 70-75% correct.
Forecast Icons: · Sunny · Partly Cloudy · Cloudy · Rain · Storms · Snow (below 32°F, 0°C)
This station learns. Please allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration. This will ensure an accurate personal
forecast for your location.

FACTORY RESTART
• The Factory Restart is a great way to return your station to “out of the box” condition.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and weather station.
2. Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the weather station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on the screen that
will show when there is no power).
4. Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert the AC power cord into the wall outlet then into the weather station.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor sensor
and weather station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
10. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
LOW BATTERY INDICATORS
• When Battery Indicator shows next to the Outdoor Temperature, replace batteries in your Outdoor
Sensor.
• When Battery Indicator shows next to your Indoor Temperature, replace batteries in your Station.
