Problems And Interference With Operation - La Crosse Technology WS-2308AL Operation Manual

19. Interferences and problems with operation
Problem & cause
Distance between
transmitters and
receiver too long.
High shielding
materials between the
units (thick walls, steel,
concrete, isolating
aluminum foil and etc.)
Interference from other
sources (e.g. wireless
radio, headset,
speaker, etc. operating
on the same frequency)
No Reception after
adding extension
cables
Reception then no
reception - loss of
transmission signal
from the sensor to the
base station
Poor contrast LCD or
no reception or low
batteries in sensors or
receiver.
Quite frequently interferences are only of a temporary nature and may
be easily overcome. If there are wireless headsets, remote
babysitters or other devices working on 433MHz in your house or in
the vicinity, their switch-on time is mostly limited. Furthermore most of
these devices allow the change to an interference-free frequency.
Such measures will effectively overcome interferences.
Remedy
Reduce distance between transmitters
and receiver to receive signal
Find a different location for sensors
and/or receiver. See also Item
'Transmission Range' below.
Find a different location for the sensors
and/or base station. Neighbors using
electrical devices operating on the
433MHz signal frequency can also
cause interference with reception
Find a new location for the sensors
and/or base station. Recommend not
adding more than 32ft extension
cables between units to the existing
cable lengths, as this will increase the
chance of data reception problems.
Press and hold the PLUS (+) key for 2
seconds to synchronize the base
station to the sensors for weather data
reception. If still no signal, then
change the sensor batteries and
synchronize the units again.
Check the LCD contrast setting or
change batteries (check low battery
indicator on the LCD)
