Bushnell 5 day Weather FX5 Forecast Station Factory Demo - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
I received a Bushnell 5-day
I have very briefly researched the device and find it isn't really a forecaster but a device that receives weather reports and sorts them but it isn't made clear how it accesses those Accuweather reports that are available by smartphone app or internet.
I speculate the device must either use any wireless local area network or it must access the mobile telephone network, which makes little sense as it is supposed to be a free service and mobile internet service providers usually wouldn't give anyone free access.
Perhaps the answer will be found in the device instruction manual.
If it is supposed to work through free access to the mobile telephone network, perhaps the cause is the service providers are flexing their muscles. There was some feeling a few years ago the Accuweather reports should be removed from the public domain and perhaps this is the beginning of a resurgence of that feeling.

We have bushnell model 960900C it doesn't work now
Toward the middle or end of March 2014, Bushnell and Accuweather terminated their data sharing contract for the Weather FXi, Hunt FXi and Golf FXi internet-based weather stations. Since the forecast information is freely available on Accuweather's website, all Bushnell would have to do is fix/update the software to grab the data a different way. These were awesome weather stations when they worked and now Bushnell has decided to brick them by refusing to update the software. They have our money and now we have electronic waste paperweights to pollute the landfills. What a great business decision for them! I for one have decided to never buy any Bushnell products again and I hope everyone else who Bushnell screwed over by this decision to brick perfectly good weather stations also decides to boycott Bushnell products.

Is it possible to recommend me a on a weather
I can recommend you on Weatherlink Software but the market offers another good programs.'Weatherlink Software for Weather Stations' -Is a good weather monitoring, connect the Perception II, Weather Wizard III or Weather Monitor II to your personal computer. WeatherLink data logger stores data-even when your computer is not running-until it is transferred to your computer. You can use WeatherLink software to create graphs, calculate totals and averages, generate summaries, analyze trends, and more- all with your own weather database. Data may be exported to most popular databases.

Will one of the newer sensors work in place of my 1457 sensor?
It's possible that one of the newer sensors could work in place of your 1457 sensor, but it depends on the specifications of the newer sensors and the compatibility with your base unit. The I MAX1457 sensor, which is a highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation. However, I have no information about its compatibility. If you're looking for a replacement sensor, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your base unit to inquire about compatible sensors. Alternatively, you can check the user manual of your base unit to see if it lists compatible sensors. Garage door opener sensors are not universal. Safety sensors can only communicate with garage door openers from the same brand.
How can I adjust the time on my weather station model #sgr72914?
- Access the Time Setting Mode:
- Locate the 'Set' or 'Settings' button on your weather station. This button is typically found on the front or the back of the unit.
- Press and hold the 'Set' or 'Settings' button for about 3 to 5 seconds. This action should access the time setting mode, where you can adjust the time.
- Adjust Hour and Minutes:
- Once in the time setting mode, use the 'Up' or '+' button to increase the hours and the 'Down' or '-' button to decrease the hours.
- After setting the correct hour, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to move to the minutes setting.
- Use the 'Up' or '+' and 'Down' or '-' buttons to adjust the minutes accordingly.
- Confirm the Time:
- Once you have set the correct time, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to confirm and exit the time setting mode.
- Check the Time Display:
- After setting the time, check the display to ensure that the time is displayed correctly.
My LM 30 laser won't start-has brand new batteries
1.Remove the batteries to determine if they have been properly installed in the unit. I know I've messed up installing multiple batteries is a unit. Ck just incase. :)
2.Then the battery unit can be removed 10 seconds to allow the capacitor to discharge and reset the unit.
