The low voltage icon or indicator will be present on the console next to the sensor reading if the voltage falls below 2.4 Volts.

If you own more than one sensor, make sure the first sensor is on Channel 1 and the second sensor is on Channel 2.

To set the dip switches, please reference:

How Do I Set The Channel Number Using The Dip Switches In The Sensor?

Next, place all remote sensors about 10′ from the console, and then power down and up the display console. Do not touch any buttons for several minutes, until the search icon  on the display turns off.

If the problem persists, change the channel 2 sensor to channel 1 and visa versa (switch both sensor channels) and repeat the process above. Does the problem follow the sensor, or does it remain on channel 2?

If the sensor problem remains on Channel 2, the console will need to be replaced.

If the sensor problem moves to Channel 1, the sensor will need to be replaced.

If the temperature reads 88.8 and Channel 8, the sensor did not completely boot up. This is because during initial power up, all of the segments are illuminated.

Remove and reinsert the batteries. If you own the F007PF Floating Pool and Spa Thermometer, press the reset button on the inside lid.

0F.L indicates there is a problem with the sensor and must be replaced. This can occur if the probe is pinched or pulled, resulting in an open circuit.

If out of warranty, the sensor can be replaced here:

Water proof means the sensor can be submersed in water.

Water resistant means the sensor can be left out in the rain.

The sensor is water resistant but not water proof.
 
If you want accurate readings, you should keep the sensor out of the sun as it absorbs solar energy.
 
Thus,  protection from the elements is not required but recommended.
 
Consider the SRS100LX from placement of the sensor in direct sunlight:

and achieve accurate readings.

To set the channel number on your sensor, open the battery compartment and locate the dip switches:

For the floating pool and spa thermometer, it is on the inner lid.

Next, set the dip switches according to the table below:

For example, if you wish to set Channel 2, the first three dip switches are set to DOWN DOWN UP.

If you wish to set Channel 3, the first three dip switches are set to DOWN UP DOWN.

If the batteries have already been inserted into the sensor, you must power it down and up again by removing and inserting the batteries again.

The channel number will now be displayed on the LCD Screen (#3 below). For the F008PF, since it does not have an LCD display, will flash the channel number.
