Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4°F / -20°C I can cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to
stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors placed
outdoors. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to higher
operating voltages.

After the main unit and the wireless sensor are both powered on and wireless
synchronized, no further input is required. This section outlines some of the
main features of this weather station.
014 Day Learning Mode
This weather station has a patented
"fourteen day learning mode" calibration
process. During this learning mode the
weather station will make altitude
calculations that may affect the accuracy
of the forecast. Once the 14 day learning
mode process is complete, the learning
