La Crosse Technology WS-8157 Positioning the Outdoor Temperature Transmitter, Troubleshooting

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 in two ways:

•with the use of screws, or

•using the adhesive tape.

MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1)Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.

2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three 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.

MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE

1)With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.

2)Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere

the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.

3)Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the outdoor temperature transmitter in the desired location, ensuring that the atomic clock can receive the signal.

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
Problem:		overnight without pressing any keys.
	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
Problem:		range.
	"--.-" 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 transmitter or place the transmitter
		closer to the atomic clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range
		from the transmitter.
	3)	Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical
		devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent
Problem:		correct signal transmission and reception.
	"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 transmitter.
		The outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current
		surrounding temperature is within the range of the transmitter.
