Outdoor Sensor Fell. The Sensor No Longer Works; Min/Max Temperature Readings; Heat Index/Dew Point Temperature - La Crosse 308-146 User Manual

Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works

Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal
damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the outdoor sensor. Batteries that have
fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly.
 Complete a
Restart with fresh batteries.
 Use
Batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Note: An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely have water
damage and needs to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.

MIN/MAX Temperature readings

Explanation: The forecast station shows the daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day
starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The forecast station automatically resets the MIN/MAX temperatures at
midnight (12:00 AM).
View Min/Max
 MAX: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button once to view maximum
temperature and humidity values for Indoor and Outdoor data. The word MAX will appear next to the
indoor and outdoor temperature.
 MIN: From a normal display press and release the MIN/MAX button twice to view minimum
temperature and humidity values for Indoor or Outdoor data. The word MIN will appear next to the
indoor and outdoor temperature.
Reset Min/Max
Hold the MIN/MAX button for 5 seconds to manually reset all indoor and outdoor minimum and maximum
values. (The forecast station automatically resets the min/max temperatures at midnight: 12:00 AM).
Note: If you are using multiple transmitters connected to the forecast station, all channels will reset at the
same time.

Heat Index/Dew Point temperature

Heat Index:
 Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity.
 It is the apparent temperature of how hot it feels to a human being.
 As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively.
 The temperature will feel warmer.
View Heat Index: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and Heat Index will show
instead of the outdoor ambient temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor temperature is above
26.7°C (80°F).
Dew Point Temperature:
 Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to
cool in order to create condensation.
 The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature.
