Note -faulty transmission of the measured values
• In some cases, interference caused by aWiFi network, computer,TV, etc., for
example, may cause the transmission of measured values between the base
station and the outdoor sensor to fail.
• If this happens, resynchronise the stations by brieyremoving the batteries
from both stations and reinserting them.
• If the measured values arenot transmitted again, replace the batteries with
new ones.
• If necessary,choose anew location for the base station to avoid the possible
interference signals in the future.
