We replaced the batteries on our SIO SCAN temp transmitter but it still will not register the outside temperature--what do I do?

Inside temp is separate from outside...no connection whatsoever. If the outside transmitter has new power and fails, it may have gotten wet inside and may be rendered useless. Replace with a new outdoor transmitter.

I expect that since the unit reads the outside temperature from the remote thermostat, there is no need to "reset" the displayed number since this data is obtained live from the thermostat.

You only need it if you have a SioScan atomic clock to read the temperature it transmits.

I just changed the batteries yesterday. It was hard to open the battery compartment with bare hands/finders. I used flat screw driver to poke into the notch in the center of the transmitter. Or you can try poke into any **** around the compartment. It works!

URGH. Have a Sio/Scan Equity 81690 automic clock weather station, which I really like. Problem is the remote transmitter. Searched many times, can't find a replacement. The cosmetics of the remote transmitter isn't important to me, as long as it functions. Any ideas? Mike

Seems to be a consistent problem with Skyscan. I have the 88800 model and my outdoor transmitter isn't transmitting the temperature either. We've replaced the batteries in both the transmitter and clock and nothing for outdoor temp. It's only been used for 9 months.

Try changing the battereis in the CLOCK. When the batteries in the clock start getting low, the clock does not pick up the outside transmitter.

Please check the following website for all the info and faq.

Also,

If you have lost the outside temperature on the clock display after replacing the transmitter battery then do the following:

1. Make sure you have good batteries installed in the remote transmitter
2. Remove the batteries from the main clock and keep them out until the clock display disappers.
3. Re-install the batteries in the clock.
4. Wait until the display returns and includes the outside temperature display as well.
5. Set the clock again for current time/date etc.
6. Bingo. You are in business.
