La Crosse Technology WS-6118AL-IT Positioning the Atomic Clock, Foldout Table Stand

To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 330 feet (100 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.

Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the rain.

POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:

There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:

•use of the foldout table stand, or

•wall mounting

FOLDOUT TABLE STAND

The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the atomic clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location.

WALL MOUNTING

1)Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three screw positions on a wall.

2)Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm)

extended from the wall.

3) Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.

Note:
Always ensure	that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.
POSITIONING	THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The outdoor	temperature transmitter can be mounted with the use of screws.
MOUNTING	WITH SCREWS
1)	Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.
2)	Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3)	Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4)	Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem:	The LCD is faint.
Solution:	1)	Replace the batteries.
Problem:	No reception of WWVB signal
Solution:	1)	It may help reception to face the
		front of the atomic clock in the
		general direction of Ft. Collins,
		Colorado.
	2)	Wait overnight for signal.
	3)	Be sure the atomic clock is at
		least 6 feet (2 meters) from any
		electrical devices, i.e. TV sets,
		computers, or other radio
		controlled clocks.
	4)	Remove batteries for five
		minutes, reinsert and leave the
		unit alone overnight without
		pressing any keys.
Problem:	Hour is incorrect (minute and date
	are correct).
Solution:	1)	Be sure the correct time zone
		and daylight saving time is
		selected. North American Time
		Zones are negative numbers.
Problem:	"OF.L“ appears in the indoor
	temperature section of the LCD
Solution:	1)	Move the atomic clock to an
		area with warmer or cooler
		surrounding temperature.
		Current surrounding
		temperatures are outside
		measuring range. Batteries
Problem:	"--.-" appears in the outdoor
	temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:	1)	Remove the batteries of both
		units for ten minutes. Press any
		button 20 times with batteries
		out then reinsert them again.
		Make sure the batteries are new
		and fresh.
	2)	Move the atomic clock closer to
		the transmitter or place the
		transmitter closer to the atomic
		clock. Make sure the clock is at
