Weather Direct (WD) FAQ’s
No outdoor temperature
RESTART OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Bring the TX50U outdoor sensor within 4 - 5 feet of your display device.
2. Remove the batteries from each display and the outdoor sensor. Press any button on
the display 20 times to clear residual power. Leave all batteries out for 5 minutes.
3. Install fresh name brand alkaline batteries, dated out at least 6 years, into the display
first. For the wireless devices to transmit and receive their signals, they need at least
1.48 volts of power in them to work properly.
4. When the forecast data appears on the display device, install the AA batteries into the
outdoor sensor. Within 2 minutes you should hear a beep come from the display
signifying it has received the signal from the outdoor sensor. To allow a strong
connection to form, do not press any buttons on the display or move the units for the
next 15 minutes.
5. Watch the scrolling information at the bottom of the display for the outdoor temperature
to appear. After it scrolls, press and release the SNOOZE button (or Plus button on
2511, 2512, 2513 models) for an instant reading.
6. You may now place the sensor outside. We recommend that you place it on the North
side of your house, under an eve or awning to avoid direct precipitation.

Delete Devices
All devices registered to a gateway must be deleted before Weather Direct will allow you to
delete the gateway.
Log into the Weather Direct user account with your username and password. On the left side
of the screen under Gateway 1, if you registered any displays, you will see them in an
indented list below it. This shows “ownership” of the display to the gateway. This is all listed
under My Weather Direct.
To delete a display, select it from the My Weather Direct list (you’ll see it on the left side of the
computer screen, under Gateway 1). Scroll down in the center panel, and you will see
an Overview for Device status box. Select the “Delete this Device” button below that box and
respond to the prompts accordingly. Repeat if necessary for multiple devices.

Delete the Gateway
When all devices are deleted, you can return to the My Weather Direct list and select
the Gateway 1 entry. Under the Overview for Device status box in the center panel, you will
see a button that says: “Delete Gateway”. Click on it to delete the gateway.
ALL GATEWAYS AND DEVICES MUST BE FACTORY RESET BEFORE RE-
REGISTRATION WORKS.
Gateway Factory Reset
1. Unplug the AC adapter for 10 seconds.
2. Push and hold the button on the Gateway while plugging in the AC adapter. Keep the
button held in until the Red LED lights up for the second time.
3. Release the button. The Gateway will enter the setup sequence, shown by a variety of
blinks. It will then settle into a pattern of blinks as it is assigned an IP from the router
and connects to the Internet. The Red LED will blink in groups of FOUR within 30
seconds of resetting when the Gateway is ready to register.
Re-Register a Gateway
1. Go to the computer and click on Register Gateway (left side of screen).

tries.
Non-Audio Units
Perform a Factory Reset by pressing and holding down the SET and ALM buttons together
for 6-10 seconds. The display will beep twice. Remove the batteries for 10 minutes. Make
sure you are using fresh name brand alkaline batteries that are dated out at least 6 years or
read above 1.48V. If they do not, replace with fresh batteries.
Re-Register the Display
Follow the instructions online to register your display. (www.weatherdirect.com)
Please use good alkaline batteries dated at least 6 years in advance of the current year or
newer. Batteries are our number one warranty issue.
