Channels; Multiple Outdoor Transmitters; Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Sensor - La Crosse Technology C87214 Faq

Channels

Explanation: The forecast station will accommodate up to three remote
transmitters. The channel selection ▲ button on the forecast station allows you to see the
temperature in various locations: outdoors, baby's room, greenhouse, basement, etc.
 Press and release the ▲ button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when multiple
transmitters are used.
Note: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is connected.

Multiple Outdoor Transmitters

To connect multiple remote transmitters to the forecast station:
 Remove the battery cover from all the transmitters (leave off for setup).
 Set the first outdoor transmitter to channel 1 and insert 2 AA batteries.
 Set the second outdoor transmitter to channel 2 and insert 2 AA batteries.
 Set the third outdoor transmitter to channel 3 and insert 2 AA batteries.
 Press and hold ▲ button on forecast station for 5-10 seconds.
 The forecast station will search for all outdoor transmitters.
 Press the TX button on the back of each outdoor transmitter to transmit RF signal.
 When RF (radio frequency) connection is established, the respective temperature &
humidity of the selected channels will appear on the main unit.
 Allow the transmitters and the forecast station to stay 5-10 feet apart for 15 minutes to
establish a solid connection.
 Install the battery covers on each sensor.
 After 15 minutes, place the remote transmitters in appropriate locations within range of
the display.
 Press and release the ▲ button to view channel 1, 2 or 3 on the display when multiple
transmitters are used.

Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor

First: Place the outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the weather station in
the home. Wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the outdoor sensor to
ensure that there is proper reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
 Protect the outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun,
which can cause it to read incorrectly.
 Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
 If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the outdoor sensor. Be sure a
box has vents.
 Mount the outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect
readings.
 Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
 Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
 Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
 Mount outdoor temperature sensor vertically.
 Avoid more than one wall between the outdoor sensor and the weather station.
 The HIimum transmitting range in open air is over 300 feet (91 meters).
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce
the range.
