The factory restart returns the weather station and outdoor sensor to an “out-of-the-box” default state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart
- Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and weather station.
- Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
- 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).
- Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
- Insert the AC power cord into the wall outlet then into the weather station.
- Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
- Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
- Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station.
- 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.
- Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
- For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor sensor no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air) from the weather station.
- See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on mounting the outdoor sensor.
