Help with new WH1090

My Dad kindly bought me a Weather Station for Xmas, a WH1090. Had no problem's setting it all up and it all worked fine. Now I have the problem where I can only get a signal from the outside sensor when it is in use, for example I left it unplugged from the laptop last night (so just running off the batteries) and it received no data at all, but as soon as I pressed a few button's on the base station It started working again. It also always picks up the outside sensor when it is plugged into the laptop via USB. I find this very odd and find it hard to believe this is to do with the signal from outdoor sensor to indoor one.
Going to have a play around with it today to try and get it sorted but i wanted to see if anyone else has had the same problem or if anyone has any tips.
Thank's

Hi,

Hope this might be helpful. I have found that my WH1080 will lose connection if it is moved to certain parts of the living room, the signal is appearing to get blocked by something else in the room, haven't worked out what but in may be another electrical device.

Are you moving your base station to the laptop when you connect?

Another thing is batteries, I use Duracell as some of the cheaper ones fail very, very quickly.

Just a few things to try.
