TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Problem: The LCD is faint

Solution: Replace the batteries

Problem: No outdoor temperature/ humidity is displayed.

Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature/humidity sensor first, then into the indoor weather station.

2)Place remote temperature/humidity sensor closer to indoor weather station.

3)Be sure all batteries are fresh.

4)Place remote temperature/humidity sensor and indoor 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 1 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees 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.
