Battery Installation; Time Zone Setting - La Crosse Technology WS-8011UM Instruction Manual

The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote
temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass
through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of
resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus
resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must
be avoided.
To complete the set up of your temperature clock after the 10 minutes have passed please
follow the steps below.

temperature, the date as "1/ 1", the weekday as "MON", and the remote temperature
will be displayed (within three minutes). Also, the time will appear as "-:--" for
approximately 1 minute. The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower
icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the
WWVB is too weak to be detected, and the time display will remain on "-:--").
While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will appear in the
time display. Within 10 minutes the temperature clock will either display the
WWVB time, or discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the search is
cancelled "-:--" will appear in the time LCD. The temperature clock will conduct a
WWVB search every hour until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB time is
found, a search is automatically conducted nightly at midnight. If the signal is found
at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not, another search will take place every
hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is found successfully. If no signal is found
during this period, the tower icon will not appear and the clock will search again at
12:00 am the next night.
