*Remember that the instruction manuals for all consoles and sensor transmitters contain troubleshooting information for common problems (usually towards the end of each manual). It’s always worth consulting these manuals as a first step before searching further on this knowledgebase. If your manuals have become lost or mislaid then PDF copies may be downloaded from the Davis website – see the External links topic.
