Question 7

What should I do if my OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR122HGN weather station does not start after changing the batteries?

Accepted Answer

After changing the batteries in your OREGON SCIENTIFIC BAR122HGN weather station, it is important to check several elements to ensure the system functions properly. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Check the types and quality of the batteries

Make sure you have inserted the right new high-quality batteries:

Main unit: 4 batteries of type LR06 or AA
Remote sensor: 2 batteries of type LR03 or AAA

Used or low-quality batteries will not provide enough power. If you are using low voltage or partially drained batteries, replace them with new alkaline batteries from a reliable brand.

2. Check the polarity and positioning of the batteries

When inserting the batteries, strictly follow the polarity indicated inside the compartment (+ and -). Reversing the polarity will completely prevent the device from functioning. Also, ensure that the batteries are properly seated and in place.

3. Clean the battery contacts

Before reinstalling the batteries, gently clean the metal contacts in the compartment with a dry cloth or cotton swab to remove any signs of oxidation or corrosion. Dirty or oxidized contacts prevent good electrical contact.

4. Bring the sensor closer to the main unit and perform a reset

To ensure better synchronization between the transmission and reception of signals, place the remote sensor as close as possible to the main unit, then press the RESET button with a pointed object. Allow the main device to automatically search for the sensor signals for about 3 minutes. If the reception is successful, the temperature and humidity readings will be displayed.

5. Force a signal search if necessary

If after 3 minutes the main device still only displays dashes (---), manually force a search: press and hold the [CHANNEL] and [MEMORY] buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. This will initiate a new 3-minute search. This procedure is very useful for synchronizing transmission and reception.

6. Check the LED indicator of the sensor and eliminate interference

Observe the LED indicator of the remote sensor: it should blink within a minute after installing the batteries. If it does not blink, replace the batteries in the sensor. Also, keep the main unit away from all sources of electromagnetic interference, including DECT phones, mobile phones, microwave ovens, and Wi-Fi routers. These devices can temporarily block radio signals at 433 MHz.

Important note on cold temperatures: When the outside temperature drops below zero, the batteries in the outdoor sensors freeze and their voltage drops, reducing their performance and communication range (about 100 meters under normal conditions).

If after following all these steps the device still does not start, there may be a hardware defect. In this case, contact Oregon Scientific customer service or the retailer for repair or replacement.
