Bushnell Measuring Tools & Sensors - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Great news! The Bushnell Weather FX5 is back in service, starting today - September 07. 2022...

I have very briefly researched the device and find it isn't really a forecaster but a device that receives weather reports and sorts them but it isn't made clear how it accesses those Accuweather reports that are available by smartphone app or internet. I speculate the device must either use any wireless local area network or it must access the mobile telephone network, which makes little sense as it is supposed to be a free service and mobile internet service providers usually wouldn't give anyone free access. Perhaps the answer will be found in the device instruction manual. If it is supposed to work through free access to the mobile telephone network, perhaps the cause is the service providers are flexing their muscles. There was some feeling a few years ago the Accuweather reports should be removed from the public domain and perhaps this is the beginning of a resurgence of that feeling.

I have a Bushnell 7 day forecaster for about 10 years I love it . Suddenly one morning it lost its signal and no matter where I placed it I would receive a message from the unit no signal found try another location . Loosing my owners manual IN THE BACK OF THE FORECASTER AND THERE IS A SMALL RESET BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM I TOOK A SMALL PIN AND PRESSED THE RESET BUTTON AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY now Hope this can help who ever has this issue , note the smaller five day forecasters do not come with a reset button in the back.

I have the same unit and have had the same problem . There should be at least two to three bars on the most upper right hand corner of the screen which pulls in the updated conditions If you have none I have tried , there is a tiny pin hole on the bottom back (center) - with a small pin I stuck it in and the unit rebooted an works fine now

Please don't buy this unit on eBay or Amazon. They don't work anymore. Bushnell broke them. Toward the middle or end of March 2014, Bushnell and Accuweather terminated their data sharing contract for the Weather FXi, Hunt FXi and Golf FXi internet-based weather stations. Since the forecast information is freely available on Accuweather's website, all Bushnell would have to do is fix/update the software to grab the data a different way. These were awesome weather stations when they worked and now Bushnell has decided to brick them by refusing to update the software. They have our money and now we have electronic waste paperweights to pollute the landfills. What a great business decision for them! I for one have decided to never buy any Bushnell products again and I hope everyone else who Bushnell screwed over by this decision to brick perfectly good weather stations also decides to boycott Bushnell products.
