Setting The Year, Day And Month; Setting The Snooze; Setting The Forecast Sensitivity - La Crosse Technology WS-9118U Instruction Manual

VIII. TIME SETTING
There are two methods by which the time and date can be set:
A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or
B) Manually.
A. WWVB (Remote Control Time)
This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal
to be received, and to select a time zone. Reception usually takes
approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best
conditions for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00
am-when there is less atmospheric interference. To keep your time
as accurate as possible, the indoor weather station conducts a
WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides
any manually set time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the
TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in progress and a
signal is being received, and will remain steady when the signal
has been received. If the WWVB time has not been received
after 15 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the
time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur
regardless).
B. MANUAL TIME SETTING
Note: When in the 12-hour format "P.M." will appear to the left of
the hour in the time LCD between the hours of noon and midnight.
Note: Reception of the WWVB signal will automatically set the
time. The reception of the signal will override any programmed
time.
1. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds.
2. "LCD" will show in the TIME LCD and the number setting will
flash.
3. Press and release the SET button five times.
4. The hours digits will flash in the TIME LCD.

5. Press and release the ALM/+ button to select the duration of
the snooze.
Note: The snooze can be set for 0 to 30 minutes in 5-minute
increments. If 0 minutes is selected pressing the SNZ/CH button
will deactivate the alarm and it will not come back on.
6. Press and release the SET button to confirm and advance to
the forecast sensitivity setting.
XI. SETTING THE FORECAST SENSITIVITY
Note: The forecast sensitivity can be adjusted to allow for areas
that have a higher or lower sensitivity to changing air pressure
(for example coastal areas have more pressure change than areas
such as southern Arizona).
The numbers correspond to the amount of air pressure change
necessary to trigger a change in the forecast icon. Areas that
tend to have more air pressure change would set the sensitivity to
3, while areas that experience lower than normal air pressure
change would set the sensitivity to 1.
1. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds.
2. "LCD" will show in the TIME LCD and the number setting will
flash.
3. Press and release the SET button eleven times.
4. Either "1", "2" or "3" will flash in the TIME LCD and the forecast
icon and tendency arrows will flash in the FORECAST LCD.
5. Press and release the ALM/+ button to select the forecast
sensitivity.
6. Press and release the SET button to confirm the forecast
sensitivity and complete the programming.

I. WEATHER FORECAST
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate
and is for the next 12 to 24 hours. The weather forecast is based
solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-9118U
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. from one floor of a building to
another floor). In areas where the weather is not largely affected
by the change of air pressure, the sensitivity setting should be set
to 1. In areas where the air pressure changes more rapidly (such
as coastal areas) the sensitivity setting should be set to 3.
A. 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
the weather will be sunny).
Sun with Clouds-indicates that the weather is expected to be fair
(not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
Clouds with Rain-indicates that the weather is expected to get
worse (not that the weather will be rainy).
