Hardware Frequently Asked Questions
> No, the backlight is temporary only. The bulb would burn out eventually if left on all of the time. > This occurs when the rain gauge vibrates due to high winds. Consider moving close the ground, on a stable mounting platform. > The humidity measurement range is 10 to 99%. If the humidity reads below 10%, the console will display "**--**". > This is a known error in the first release of the WS-2090 hardware. If you are experiencing this issue, email us at support@ambientweather.comand we will send a new sensor when available. > There was an error in the manual previous to Version 1.3. Download the latest version of the User Manual. > No, not at the moment, but it will power from the USB port when connected to a computer. > Use automotive lock de-icer spray, which can be purchased at most stores for about $1.00. Just apply two quick sprays (not much is needed). > Yes, it will stop updating when it freezes, and will thaw when it warms up. The ice will not damage the rain gauge. > Yes. The console has a USB port, and if it is not in use (not connected to a computer), you can use the USB cable (included) and the following USB/AC adaptor: > [] > If the console is connected to a computer, the computer provides power and it is a non-issue.

 * 1) **Will the rain gauge freeze during ice conditions?**
 * 1) **Can I connect the weather station console to AC power?**
 * 1) **The rain gauge stopped reporting rain. It reads 0.00 after a rainfall.** Make sure that there are no obstructions in the tipping mechanism. Lift the funnel off by pushing on the two tabs on the sides of the rain gauge. Check for obstructions, spider webs, ant debris, etc. Clean with a damp cloth. Spray with bug spray if required. Tip the mechanism to confirm it is registering on the display. Replace the funnel. If defective and within one year warranty, visit [|www.ambientweather.com/rma.html]. If out of warranty, visit: []to replace.
 * 2) **Humidity reads 99% and wind speed is mostly 0**. In addition, the Radio Controlled Clock does not work. There is an issue with the oscillator chip at higher voltages (mostly lithium batteries). The LED flashes every 8 seconds vs. 45 seconds is a symptom of this issue. It requires replacement of the thermo-hygrometer-transmitter. To get stated, please visit: [|www.ambientweather.com/rma.html].
 * 3) **There is a seven minute interruption in data every 2 hours. Is this normal?** The transmitter receives the radio controlled clock time signal every two hours, than transmits this data to the reciever. It can take up to seven minutes to process this signal . During this period, weather data will not be updated.
 * 4) **Indoor and Outdoor Temperature read 140 degF.** This is caused by software corruption of the console memory, specifically the calibration constants. To correct, press and hold the UP arrow key for 30 seconds to restore to factory default.
 * 5) Windspeed sensor appears to "stick". Please read the following: WS-5300 / WS-2095 Windspeed Sensor Sticks
