THE WIRELESS WEATHER STATION
The wireless weather station can be mounted in 2 ways:
• with the table stand or,
• on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included).
A. USING THE TABLE STAND
The wireless weather station comes with the table stand attached. If
you wish to use the table-stand all that is required is to pull out the table
stand on the back of the receiver and place the receiver on a flat
surface.
B. WALL MOUNTING
1. Make sure the table stand is flush against the wireless weather
station.
2. Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving
approximately 1/4 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
3. Place the wireless weather station onto the screw using the hanging
hole on the backside.
4. Gently pull the wireless weather station down to lock the screw into
place.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology.
Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct)
Solution: Be sure correct time zone and daylight saving time settings are selected.
Problem: The LCD is faint
Solution: 1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher number
2) Replace batteries
Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed.
Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into sensor first, then into the wireless weather station.
2) Place remote temperature sensor closer to wireless weather station.
3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4) Place remoter temperature sensor and wireless weather station in position so the straight-line
signal is not passing through more than 2 or 3 walls.
Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other.
Solution: Each remote temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 1 degree plus or
minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different.
However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for
different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents
because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In addition, the case can act as a heat
sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat).
Also, the much greater range of the remote temperature sensor requires a different calibration
curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it
harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is
difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
