Frequently Asked Questions
My time and date are not correct.
Make sure the sensor is in a shaded area and has a clear view of the sky. If it is still not correct, remove the batteries and wait 5 minutes before reinstalling them.
My sensor lost power or was unplugged during a power outage. How do I reset it?
Remove the batteries from the sensor for 5 minutes, then replace them and wait 5 minutes before plugging in the power adapter.
Can it be wall mounted?
wall mounting.
Does this have variable brightness settings?
When plugged in it has 3 brightness setting. High, medium, and dimmed. When on battery, it is automatically dimmed, then you click for brightness, then goes back to dim.
What’s the difference between this unit and the S88907
The S88907 has a humidity range of 1% to 99% RH. It also includes an Indoor comfort range: Too DRY (1-25%), DRY (26-39%), Comfort OK (40-75%), Wet (76-83%), Too Wet (84-99%), and a 300-foot wireless transmission range. The 308-1414B has a humidity range: 19% to 97% RH, and a 200-foot wireless transmission range.
Does it come with batteries?
No it doesn’t come with batteries you’ll need 2 double A’s for the outdoor sensor (which pretty much have to be lithium ion batteries or the outdoor sensor will constantly loose sync with the indoor screen and not display a temp or humidity) and three triple A’s for the display screen.
What are the dimensions of this item?
As it sets on my table it is 8″ wide, 5″hi. Unit is about 1/2″ deep, but use of the easel stand will take up more room.
What wireless protocol and/or frequency does this use? Thanks!
If you have a hand-held radio turned on in the UHF freq. range 420-450 MHz the transmission of the remote sensor is irritating. Took me awhile to discover where the interference was coming from.
How come you stopped making the model that will display weather forecast for up to three days?
Don’t know – but it’s as accurate as the local weatherman – pointless.
does the display stay on all the time, or do you have to hit a button? I want it to stay on all the time.
Oh yes, the display is on all the time and is quite visible across the largest room of a typical home. Beautiful and in color.
Does the remote require 2 aa or 2 aaa?
The remote requires 2 AA, the station needs 3 AAA.
Does this unit 308 1414B come with an adapter allowing it to be plugged in, specs state only that batteries are required and nothing about an adapter.
The sensor operates on 2 AA batteries. The Receiver operates on 3 AAA batteries or the included 5V AC adapter to plug into an outlet.
