Changing Batteries; Problems And Interference With Operation - La Crosse Technology WS-2315CH Operation Manual

For best results, do not to add more than 32ft of extension cable from item to
item onto the existing cable lengths as this may reduce reception levels.
Again, reception and interference levels will greatly depend on the surrounding
environment at your point of mounting.
Note:
It is important to keep all the connected extension heads away from rain,
moisture and other extreme weather conditions as exposure can cause short
circuits and damage to this item.

Changing batteries:

Battery change only in the thermo-hygro-sensor:
1. Open the battery cover
2. Remove the old batteries and insert with new ones of the recommended
type and replace the cover
Once the sensor is powered up, press and hold the PLUS (+) key for approx. 2
seconds in the normal display mode, the base station will sound a short beep
and synchronize to the sensor otherwise no weather data will be received.
Battery change only in the base station:
1. Connect power adaptor to base station and power outlet.
2. Open the battery cover located at the back of the base station.
3. Remove the old batteries, insert with new ones of the recommended type
and replace the cover
This method of battery replacement will result in no loss of MIN/MAX and
history data. However in case of possible power failure, the base station will
lose the MIX/MAX and all weather data recordings and will need to be
synchronized to the sensors again by pressing the PLUS (+) key for 2
seconds.
Note:
When batteries require replacement for the base station, the low battery
indicator will light up on the LCD.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment by
properly disposing of all used-up batteries and accumulators at
designated disposal points. Never dispose of batteries in a fire
as this may cause explosion, risk of fire or leakage of dangerous
chemicals and fumes

Problems and interference with operation

Problem & cause Remedy
Distance between Reduce distance between transmitters and

Interference from other Find a different location for the sensors
sources (e.g. wireless and/or base station. Neighbors using
radio, headset, speaker, electrical devices operating on the 433MHz
etc. operating on the same signal frequency can also cause
frequency) interference with reception

than 32ft extension cables between units to
the existing cable lengths, as this will
increase the chance of data reception

reception - loss of seconds to synchronize the base station to
transmission signal from the sensors for weather data reception. If
the sensor to the base still no signal, then change the sensor
station batteries and synchronize the units again.
Poor contrast LCD or no Check the LCD contrast setting or change
reception or low batteries batteries (check low battery indicator on the

Quite frequently interferences are only of a temporary nature and may be
easily overcome. If there are wireless headsets, remote babysitters or other
devices working on 433MHz in your house or in the vicinity, their switch-on
time is mostly limited. Furthermore most of these devices allow the change to
an interference-free frequency. Such measures will effectively overcome
interferences.
