Positioning The Weather Station - La Crosse WS-9215U-IT Instruction Manual

915 MHz RECEPTION CHECK
The weather station should receive the temperature data within 3 minutes after set-up. If the temperature
data is not received 3 minutes after setting up (not successfully continuously, the outdoor display shows "-
- -" ), please check the following points:
1. The distance of the weather station or transmitter should be at least 5 to 6.5 feet (1.5 -2 meters) away
from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2. Avoid positioning the weather station onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal
frequency (915 MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 915MHz signal frequency can also cause
interference.
Note: When the 915 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the
transmitter or weather station, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset.
Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Set up above) otherwise transmission
problems may occur.
The transmission range is about 330 feet/100 m from the transmitter to the weather station (in open
space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is
possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Set up).

POSITIONING THE WEATHER STATION:

The weather station may be hung onto wall easily or free standing.
Free standing
With the detachable stand, the weather station can be placed onto any flat surface.
To wall mount
Before wall mounting, please check that the outdoor temperature value can be received
from the desired locations.
1. Fix a screw (not supplied) into the desired wall, leaving the head extended out by about
5mm.
2. Remove the stand from the weather station by pulling it away from the base and hang
the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing.
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
Choose a sheltered place. Avoid direct rain or sunshine.
The transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws
supplied. The transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the
bottom of the transmitter.
