B. WALL MOUNTING

1) Remove the table-stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward.

2)Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

3)Place the Wireless Weather Station onto the screw using the

hanging hole on the backside.

4) Gently pull the Wireless Weather Station down to lock the screw into place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology.

Problem: No reception of WWVB time signal.

Solution: 1) Wait overnight for signal.

2)Be sure Weather Station is at least 6 feet from any electrical devices, such as televisions, computers, or other radio-controlled clocks.

3)Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone overnight without pressing buttons.

4)If there are still problems, contact La Crosse Technology

Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct)

Solution: Be sure correct time zone and daylight saving time settings are selected.

Problem: The LCD is faint

Solution: 1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher number 2) Replace batteries

Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed.

Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into sender first, then display.

2)Place remote sender closer to display.

3)Be sure all batteries are fresh.

4)Place Remote Control Sender and Weather Station in position so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two or three walls.

Problem: Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to each other.

Solution: Each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 2ºF plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 4ºF different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In addition,

the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). Also, the much greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units.

Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.

Do not submerge in water.

Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage.

Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
