  • Page 3: Quick Setup

    QUICK SETUP Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. 2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes. 3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor temperature station.
  • Page 4 In this time the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor temperature station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above.
  • Page 5 Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line. NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must be avoided. To complete the set up of your indoor temperature station after the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps in the detailed set up guide on page 8-9.

  • Page 12: Adding Additional Remote

    Adding Additional Remote Temperature Sensors (optional) The WS-7208U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature sensors. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS- 7208U. These extra remote temperature sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly.
  • Page 13 any buttons for ten minutes. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly. To view the temperature of a different remote temperature sensor unit, press and release the “CH” button. A shift from one number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.

  • Page 14: Weather Forecast

    Weather Forecast The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7208UF averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast, creating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e.

  • Page 15: Weather Icons

    Weather Icons There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD: Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that weather will be sunny). with Clouds— indicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
  • Page 16 The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “partly sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly.

  • Page 17: Tendency Arrow

    Weather Tendency Arrows Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.

  • Page 18: Mounting

    MOUNTING Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range.
  • Page 19 Indoor Weather Station The indoor weather station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand all that is required is to place the indoor weather station in an appropriate location. To wall mount the indoor weather station first remove the table stand.

  • Page 20: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or phone, or visit our website, www.lacrossetechnology.com Problem: The LCD is faint Solution: Replace batteries Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed. Solution: Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature sensor first, then into the indoor weather station.
  • Page 21 Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other. Solution: Each 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.

    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.
