Forecast Station; 12-Hour Or 24-Hour Time Format; Power Requirements; Dashes, Ofl Or Stuck Indoor Temperature/Humidity - La Crosse Technology WS-9077U-IT Faqs

 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330-feet (100 meters) between the outdoor
sensor and the forecast station.
 Consider what is in the signal path between the forecast station and the sensor.
 Consider the distance the forecast station is located away from other electronic in the home.
Resistance:
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.
 When considering the distance between the sensor and the forecast station (330 feet open air) cut
that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path.
 Closer is better.
 Do not mount the sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
 Consider items in the signal path between the sensor and the forecast station.
 Sometimes a simple relocation of the sensor or the forecast station will correct the interference issue.
 Windows can reflect the radio signal.
 Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Stucco is held up by a metal mesh that can absorb the signal.
 Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military base etc.)
 Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)
 Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.
 Dirt: RF (radio frequency) signal does not travel through dirt.

Forecast Station

12-Hour or 24-Hour Time Format

 Displays the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format
 Default is 12-hour time.
 Use the
Program Menu

Power Requirements

 2-AA alkaline
batteries

Dashes, OFL or Stuck Indoor Temperature/Humidity

 This is generally a power related issue.

Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from forecast station.
 Press any button 20 times. Leave the forecast station unpowered for 1-2 hours.
 Install fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
 If the indoor temperature is still dashes or OFL, the forecast station may need replacement.

Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading

 Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the forecast station for 2
hours.
 Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperature should be within 4 degrees to be within
tolerance.
 Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat of cold.

Time is off by hours

 Check to see if the
WWVB
not received a WWVB time signal in the past 24-hours.
 Reposition the forecast station with the front or back facing Colorado.
 Enter the
Program Menu
 Check that the Time Zone selected correctly reflects your location. Adjust the time zone in the
Program Menu.
