What error occurs when setting the outdoor temperature?
Customer Reply
When it was turned on it shows an outside temp of 62 degrees F and right now is 21 degrees F
It doesn't let me set an outdoor temp

Bring both units inside and have the units 3-5 feet apart with nothing between them.

Place them back into the remote sensor; making sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment.
Next, taking care not to press any buttons, reinstall the batteries in the display according to the diagram in the battery compartment.

The temperature should be showing on your display. You can now put your sensor back outside.
Customer Reply
The indoor temp is showing 72 degrees but should be 70 and the outdoor is saying 63 degrees but its actually like 21 degrees
the date is scenes up again too
Christine Tomas

It's worth waiting a while for them to adapt to the temperature
Customer Reply
so, once sensor was placed outside it will take a while for it to register on this indoor one?
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Yes
How far apart are the sensors?
Customer Reply
20 feet
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Thank you
You need to wait
At least 15 minutes
Any update on the device now when some time has passed?
Customer Reply
Nope
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
I see. What exactly do you see at the moment?
Customer Reply
I see 63 degrees outside temp
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
Got you
Customer Reply
time, indoor temp, and date are all fine it's the dang outside temp not changing
Christine Tomas
Christine Tomas Tech Expert & Writer
In this case, I would recommend doing a factory reset of the device and then setting it all up again. The device will detect the temperature again and it should be the correct one
I will provide you with the instruction in a moment

Please follow these steps:
1. Hold the DATE and RAIN buttons together for 5 seconds.
2. When your station resets it will look for all sensors. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire the sensors.
