Acu-rite 00754 wireless weather and atomic clock station squeaks (or beeps) periodically, why? Installed new batteries and followed all directions carefully.
I had the exact same problem, and found the answer on the Chaney Instrument FAQ page. There's no real
solution, but here is the explanation:
Q: My wireless weather station periodically beeps, why?
A: Make sure that any alert and/or alarm features are deactivated
first. Constant, sporadic beeping is generally due to the unit’s
ability to detect a foreign radio frequency of another wireless unit
when that unit transmits a signal. Wireless devices that may cause
beeping but are not limited to these devices are; scanners; computers
w/wireless keyboard/mouse; or other wireless weather instruments.
Essentially, any wireless devices transmitting on a radio frequency
have the potential to interfere with each other. Limit the amount of
wireless devices to lesson the chance of interference. When beeping
occurs, one device will need to be deactivated.
There is no way to turn off beeping, d/s designers forgot. I had the same problem, another external temp gauge showed up on the other channel, so my neighbor or someone is using the similar unit. MY SOLUTION: opened back of case and cut black wire to piezo speaker (at base if rear cover opposite side of stand-up prop) that creates beep. Don't use any sound features, ALL good now.
