I bought this for a technology challenged 84 yr old friend, She Loves it and is able to manage all of the settings. She calls me every morning to check if my temperature is the same as hers. We live a 1/2 mile apart.
I am having a hard time finding a place to put the sensor. I have moved it several times and it still says interference present, relocate. ???? The temperature seems pretty accurate and we haven't had any lightning so I'm not sure if the interference will have any impact. ♀️
1. Lightening sensor not working, even when yards from any elecric or electronic device. 2. Temperature reading does not seem accurate. 3. Dimming does not seem to be working.

Verify you are using new, brand name batteries in your station. Mixing different battery types (brands, old/new, etc.) is not recommended.
Hard Reset -Bring outdoor sensor inside -Remove batteries from both units -Change the ABC switch -Place batteries in the sensor first -Place batteries in the display, let the two units sit side by side until you read outdoor information -Wait unit the units connect before placing them outside
This is my second Accu rite weather station, but I wanted the lightning detector so I went ahead and bought it mounted it on the other side of my house and both units seem to agree quite nicely and the lightning detector function is perfect. It will pick up lightning up to 20 miles away hasn't failed me yet if I hear thunder I get a warning that there was lightning in the area and many times. The only reason I know there is lightning is because the dog is under the bed and then I look at the detector and sure enough there are strikes recorded companies.
I purchased this product for a friend who rides his bicycle for many miles daily. He recently mentioned he LOVED the Weather Station. He checks the weather forecast even before he has coffee! Thank you for making a great and dependable product.
