TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem:

The LCD is faint.

Solution:

1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher level.

 

2)

Replace batteries.

Problem: No outdoor temperature/humidity is displayed.

Solution:

1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into the remote thermo/hygro sensor

 

 

first, then into the indoor weather station.

 

2)

Place remote thermo/hygro sensor closer to the indoor weather

 

 

station.

 

3)

Be sure all batteries are fresh.

 

4)

No other interfering sources are being used (such as computer

 

 

monitors, TV sets, headphones, or speakers) in the vicinity. The

 

 

signal travels in a straight line, an electrical source near that “line”

 

 

may cause interference.

Problem: Temperature, humidity, or air pressure is incorrect.

Solution:

1)

Check/Replace batteries.

 

2)

If multiple remote sensors are in use, check location with

 

 

corresponding “boxed numbers.”

 

3)

Move away from sources of heat/cold.

 

4)

Adjust relative air pressure to a value from a reliable source (TV

 

 

radio, etc.).

 

5)

The indoor weather station and remote sensors are calibrated at the

 

 

factory. If there is a consistent problem, please call La Crosse

 

 

Technology.

Problem: “- -” in humidity display.

Solution:

1) Humidity is below 20% or above 95%.

2)TX3U or TX3UP is used for remote temperature. Problem: WWVB time and date will not set or update Solution: 1) Wait until overnight for signal to be received

2)Move indoor weather station away from sources of electricity

3)Place indoor weather station in window facing Colorado

4)The first reception is most difficult, as the indoor weather station needs five continual minutes of clear signal reception. After the initial time/date set, the indoor weather station only requires one full minute of clear reception each night.
