La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 8 Batteries often resolve the connection. Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the sensor and theRain station. Reorientation of the Rain station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor mayprovide better reception by the antenna. Try the factory restart.Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading The outdoor sensor reads the environment. When mounted in the home it willread inside temperature. When the sensor reads high during the day but not at night it is a positioningproblem. Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next tothe Rain station for 2 hours. Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4degrees to be within tolerance. If the sensor reads correctly when next to the rain station then try a differentlocation outside. Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflectedheat.Intermittent Outdoor Temperature RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can benormal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If sensor signal is lost,please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own. Move the outdoor sensor to a closer location. Freezer test: Confirm the rain station is reading the correct outdoor sensor.Place the sensor in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop onthe rain station. Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with sensor and rain station5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection. After 15 minutes if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move thesensor to another room with one wall between the sensor and the rain station.Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1-hour. If the temperature remains on while in the house then it is likely adistance/resistance issue. Move the sensor to different locations outside to find alocation where the temperature reading will hold. Distance/Resistance can cause loss of sensor signal. Check Batteries.Outdoor Sensor Fell and No Longer Works If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not havecaused internal damage. An outdoor sensor that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or snowmay have water damage. Sensors are water resistant, not waterproof. A fall can shock the sensor or the batteries in the sensor.
