La Crosse Technology WS-8117U-IT Troubleshooting, Maintenance and Care Instructions

5) Position the remote temperature sensor in the desired location, ensuring that the atomic clock can receive the signal.

Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.

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 are selected.
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.
Problem:	"--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:	1)	Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them
		again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.
	2)	Move the atomic clock closer to the sensor or place the sensor closer to
		the atomic clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range from the
		sensor.
	3)	Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical
		devices operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent
		correct signal transmission and reception.
Problem:	"OF.L“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution:	1)	Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases.
		Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the sensor. The
		13

outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current surrounding temperature is within the range of the sensor.

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.

•Do not make any repairs to the units. Please return it to the original point of purchase. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate the warranty.
