Title: WS3083
Post by: Martin4Jay on January 04, 2015, 11:53:21 PM

Hi
I am Martin and from Taunton Somerset UK and I use the WS3083 Professional Wireless Weather Station and was working fine until last night.

I have put an photo as an attachment for you to see I hope I don't have to do a reset every time this does it this is the first time mine since I had it 6 weeks ago.
Hope you can help
Martin

Hi Martin,

That image looks familiar :)

Yes you will get that now and again. How frequent will depend how far away your sensor is to that base. I usually take mine for a walk outside and stand under my pole shaking it..... the base not the pole...lol
If that does not work then out come the batteries and back in they go.

That usually does the trick and back inside.
Use lithium batteries Marten. That will make a big different keeping the 2 talking to each other.

There is a bit here on that topic.

That's exactly how mine looked when it was set just that tiny bit too far for the signal to be reliable. Lithium batteries did extend the range, so if the receiver hadn't been moved I'd probably check the batteries.
