Note: For testing purposes, very slowly pour a small amount of water
into the rain sensor funnel. This simulates the rainfall and rainfall reading
will be received and displayed at the base station for about 2 minute
delay. (to clear this data on the base station, refer to the resetting data
section in "Rainfall Measurement")
IV. THE INDOOR WEATHER STATION
1) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately
3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
2) Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging
hole on the backside.
3) Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into
place.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB time signal.
Solution:
1) Wait overnight for signal.
2) Be sure indoor weather station is at least 6 feet from any electrical
devices, such as televisions, computers, or other radio-controlled
clocks.
3) Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone
overnight without pressing buttons.
4) If there are still problems, 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 the batteries
Problem:
No outdoor temperature/humidity and/or wind speed is displayed.
Solution:
1) Disconnect the cable from the remote wind speed sensor, then
reinsert making sure the cable clicks in place.
2) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature/humidity

3) Place the remote temperature/humidity sensor closer to the display.
4) Be sure all batteries are fresh.
5) Place the remote temperature/humidity sensor and indoor weather
station in position so the straight-line signal is not passing through
more than two or three walls.
Problem:
Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other.
Solution:
Each temperature/humidity sensor is manufactured to be accurate to
within 2 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two
sensors could be as much as 4 degrees different. However, the
difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are
designed for different working environments. The indoor temperature
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/humidity 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.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to
prevent damage to the units.
•
Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents
or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
•
Do not submerge in water.
•
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and
damage.
•
Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair
the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
