When setting up multiple remote temperature sensors, it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote temperature sensors.
  • Page 11: 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- 9055U 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...

  • Page 14: 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. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting.

    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.
  • Page 16 Solution: Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature sensor first, then into the indoor weather station. Place remote temperature sensor closer to the indoor weather station. Be sure all batteries are fresh. Place remote temperature sensor and indoor weather station in position so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls.

    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.
