Maintenance & Care - La Crosse Technology WS-9065TWC Instruction Manual

Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed.
Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into sender first, then display.
2) Place remote sender closer to display.
3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4) Place Remote Control Sender and 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 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 outdoor 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.
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.
