14. FAQ AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Why are the data recorded by my weather station inconsistent with the data on the weather channel/APP?
The Newentor weather station is a home version weather station, its detection range is around the house and its data will be more accurate. The data detection range on the weather channel/APP is the area. Besides, airport weather stations are only updated once per hour. Therefore, it is normal that their temperature and humidity
Why can't the data be exactly the same after I put the main unit and remote sensor/other brands of thermometers together?
- The size and structure of the devices are different. In order to get more accurate readings, the main unit has more small holes for ventilation, while the remote sensor is usually placed in a relatively harsh environment, its holes will be smaller. At this time, the chip environment will be slightly different. This is possible One of the reasons for the difference. Therefore, the devices need learning and calibration time. Generally, the longer it is placed, the more accurate the temperature will be.
- If the distance between the cold source or the heat source is different, this is also one of the reasons for the difference.
- Due to the reason of 1), between different devices, there may be ±1°C/1.8°F deviation when the temperature is 0°C~40°C/ 32°F~104°F, while ±2°C/3.6° F deviation in other ranges. There may be±2% deviation when humidity is 20%~80%, while ± 4% deviation in other ranges.
How long does the device take to learn and calibrate?
- When using the device for the first time, it usually takes 3-7 days to calibrate.
- If the device is moved from one environment to another (such as bringing the sensor from outside to inside in winter), a calibration time of several hours may be required.
Why is the wrong day of the week displayed?
Please make sure that the year, month, and day are all set correctly.
One of the remote sensors cannot connect with the main unit.
- Make sure 3 remote sensors are in different channels
- Press the "CH" button to select channel, hold the "CH" button for 3S to search for remote sensor manually.
- Press the "TX" button of the remote sensor to transmit RF signal to connect base unit. Here is a video: https://www.facebook.com/111953800541815/videos/353653802423811/
Tip: Please ensure that the distance between the sensor and the main unit is within 200ft. If there is a wall between them, the distance between the main unit and the remote sensor cannot exceed 150ft. Which means 1 wall is equivalent to 50 ft, because objects with metallic properties will affect signal reception.
If the above way no help, please try to change the channels of the remote sensors, such as #1changes to #2, #2 changes to #3, #3 changes to #1. If the issue still can’t be addressed, contact us to resolve the issue.
What if the device does not contain my time zone? /What to do if the WWVB signal is weak?
Radio station WWVB is located near Fort Collins, Colorado. Since the United States has a wide area and the WWVB signal is interfered by many factors, the device is only set in the area where it is most likely to receive the WWVB signal. If the device does not contain our time zone or the WWVB signal is weak, we can turn off the WWVB function and set the time manually.
- Press and hold the【SET】button for 2 seconds to enter time setting, use [
/+] or [°C/°F/–] to choose, use 【SET】button to confirm. The order of setting is: turn ON/OFF WWVB function -- 12/24HR mode -- Standard time zone(according to your location)--turn ON/OFF DST(turn ON when daylight saving time starts and turn OFF when it ends)--Hour--Minute--Month--Day--Year
- Do not press any button until it turn back to normal mode.
How to connect 3 remote sensors?
- Insert the batteries for the weather station, all icons on the LCD will light up for 3 seconds, and you will hear a beep tone, then it will detect indoor temperature & humidity.
- At this time, set channels of the 3 remote sensors to 1, 2, 3 and insert the batteries respectively.
- The Indoor Station will now start to make a connection to the outdoor sensors. This process takes about 3 minutes and will be displayed by a flashing reception antenna symbol
in the “OUTDOOR” display areas.
- When the temperature and humidity of all 3 areas are displayed, done.
What is the difference between turning ON or OFF the radio control function?
- Radio control function ON: At 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 AM, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure to correct any deviations to the exact time.
- Radio control function OFF: Can't sync time automatically, it will be convenient for you to use in places with poor signal.
How to set radio control function ON or OFF?
Press and hold the 【SET】 button for 3 seconds, the “
ON/OFF” starts to flash. Then use button and button to set the radio control function ON or OFF.
About the Reception of the Radio signal

starts to flash. When the radio control function is ON:
- At 1:00 /2:00 / 3:00 AM, the clock automatically carries out the synchronization procedure to correct any deviations to the exact time. If fail (
disappears from the display), the system will repeat this request at the next full one hour. This procedure will be repeated automatically up to a total of 5 times.
- To start manual WWVB signal reception, press and hold the【-】button for 3 seconds. If it fail within 7 minutes, this operation will start again at the next full hour.
- During WWVB reception, only【Light / SNZ】button and [°C/°F/–] button work, you can press [°C/°F/–] button to stop searching radio signal.
How to choose Time Zone and set the time manually?
- Press and hold the 【SET】 button for 3 seconds, set the radio control function ON.
- Press【SET】button to confirm your setting, the 12h/24h start to flash, use [
/+] and [°C/°F/–] buttons to set the 12/24 hour mode you need.
