Hello from North Turner, Maine!
My previous weather station was the same model that you are asking about, and I had identical issues to what you have explained here. Like you said taking the batteries out to get the console to do a hard reset always worked, but only for a short time. The only long term solution for me was to make sure the outdoor sensors are no more than 50 feet away from the indoor console. I know the station is supposed to work at up to 300 feet between the indoor console and the outdoor sensors, but trust me it never did for me!
I know that in doing this though you run into the issue of probably not being able to put the sensors exactly where you want them. I was getting tired of having to do resets though, so I moved the sensors and this worked perfectly for me!
I would try this first, but if it doesn't work then I would make sure that all the terminals inside the battery compartments of each outdoor sensor come into contact with the ends of the batteries like they are supposed to (pay very close attention to the temp/humidity sensor especially, as this is a known issue with the way they are manufactured). I had to bend the little metal wiring inside the battery compartment inward before I installed the batteries, just to get them to come in contact. Once I did this the communication problems seemed to go away.
So its either a communication issue due to distance between the outdoor sensors and indoor console like I first mentioned, or its a power issue because the batteries are not coming into secure contact with the battery terminals inside each outdoor sensor. These were the two issues I fixed and everything generally worked well afterword.
Sorry for the long response, but I hope some of what I said helps, if I haven't confused you too much!
