Question about Bushnell Measuring Tools & Sensors

1 Answer

I received a Bushnell 5-day forecaster last year. It has worked perfectly until several weeks ago - it now shows 'network lost...try another location'. It started working a few days ago...and now it's back to 'network lost'. My son is experiencing the same problem with his Bushnell forecaster. What do we need to do to get the network back?

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.

Try doing a system reset. Not sure it that's the term they use but that option basically resets the tv to factory default settings. It's in the menu somewhere. I've done the reset twice already for a similar problem. Solved it each time.

SOURCE: Wii will not receive power

This has happened to me, what you need to do is remove the power cord from both the wii and wall outlet, and wait a few minutes while the converter box on the cord resets itself. I know it sounds strange, but it works.

SOURCE: i bought an xbox for a friend a few weeks ago. it

if its new take it back now, and get a replacement .
The problem is the hold down magnet is
stronger then the eject motor in witch case the motor
can't break the magnetic to lower the laser and open the tray.

Try this

Press the eject button wait 1 sec and slap the top
of the console over the Rom drive Hard this will break
the seal and should release the tray.


The drive probley needs to open and cleaned . I also
gap the hold down magnetic routinely to eliminate this
problem recurring.

SOURCE: AMBIENT 5 DAY FORECASTER

If the product appears to work, then it's most likely it's simply broken. Something responsible for lighting up the day L.C.D. isn't connecting or is shorted out. Take your receipt to place of purchase for a new one. Not many pros can fix just the Day part of LCD displays; the expense outweighs the cost of a new one.

One thing to consider is these types of LCD read-outs are sensitive to water. Did you get it wet, or place it in a very steamy room (shower, clothes drier) ?
That would explain the problem but my advise is still the same. If receipt is gone, sell it at a Flea Market; caveat emptor (Latin for marketplace law, "Let the Buyer beware" - you needn't necessarily tell anyone the Day is broken and you can use the proceeds towards a new one, lol!

My bushnell ambient Weather fx5 just isn't updating the temp. It has been stuck on 76 degrees for 2 days. I unplugged it and waited no help.How can I get it fixed? Don't see reset button.

I have the same issue in Toledo, Ohio. They shut down the updates a few years ago on New Year's Day, their website said they were discontinuing service, but they reversed course and turned it back on. I'm wondering if 9/1/22 was the new date to cut off service.

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.
