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 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 batteries
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
2) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall,
leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm)
extended from the wall.
3) Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using
the hanging hole on the backside.
4) Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the
screw into place.
