What causes the Taylor 1731 Wireless Weather Station indoor unit to beep sometimes in the middle of the night?

Based on the Taylor 1731 Wireless Weather Station manual, there are two primary reasons your indoor unit may be beeping in the middle of the night:Alarm Function: The Taylor 1731 includes a programmable alarm clock. If the alarm was accidentally set or activated, it will beep at the designated time. You can check this by cycling through the MODE or ALARM buttons to see if an alarm time is displayed and active.Low Battery Alerts: While the manual primarily mentions dim displays or inconsistent readings as signs of low power, many digital weather stations emit a periodic beep when batteries in the main unit or the remote sensor are critically low. It is recommended to replace the 2 AA batteries in the main unit and the 2 AAA batteries in the remote sensor simultaneously to see if the noise stops.If the beeping persists after checking the alarm and replacing batteries, ensure the unit is not placed near other electronic devices that might cause interference, or try a hard reset by removing all batteries for 10 minutes and then performing the Initial Synchronization process again.
