5)Position the remote temperature/humidity sensor in the desired location, ensuring that the indoor weather station can receive the signal.

II. THE INDOOR WEATHER STATION

The indoor weather station can be mounted in several ways:

With the use of screws

Using its foldout stand

A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS

1)Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately

3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.

2) Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside.

3)Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into place.

B.FOLDOUT TABLE STAND:

The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside.

1)Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the weather station, below the battery compartment.

2)Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the weather station in an appropriate location.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

Problem: No reception of WWVB time signal.

Solution: 1) Wait overnight for signal.

2)Be sure indoor weather station is at least 6 feet from any electrical devices, such as televisions, computers, or other radio-controlled clocks.

3)Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone overnight without pressing buttons.

4)If there are still problems, contact La Crosse Technology.

Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).

Solution: Be sure correct time zone and daylight saving time settings are selected.

Problem: The LCD is faint.

Solution: 1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher number. 2) Replace the batteries

Problem: No outdoor temperature/humidity is displayed.

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

2)Place the remote temperature/humidity sensor closer to the display.

3)Be sure all batteries are fresh.

4)Place the 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/humidity sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 2 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as much as 4 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor temperature 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 remote temperature/humidity 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-

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.

WS-9043U specifications

The La Crosse Technology WS-9043U is a sophisticated and reliable weather station designed to provide accurate weather information for both enthusiasts and everyday users. This all-in-one device offers a variety of features that cater to those interested in monitoring their local climate and managing their indoor environments effectively.

One of the standout features of the WS-9043U is its ability to display both indoor and outdoor temperatures and humidity levels. The weather station comes with a wireless outdoor sensor that can transmit data up to 330 feet, allowing users to place the sensor in a location that offers the best reading of the weather outside. The indoor display features a vibrant LCD screen that provides easy-to-read information regarding these conditions, which is essential for making informed decisions about heating and cooling applications in the home.

The device also includes a display of weather forecasts based on the temperature and humidity data it gathers. With its dynamic forecasting ability, the WS-9043U utilizes a unique algorithm that predicts short-term weather patterns—showing users whether they'll be facing sunny, partly cloudy, or rainy conditions in the near future. This helps users prepare adequately for upcoming weather events, whether it be planning outdoor activities or adjusting heating and cooling systems.

Additional features of the WS-9043U include a built-in clock that automatically synchronizes for accurate timekeeping, as well as a weather trend indicator that shows the rising or falling atmospheric pressure. This can be particularly useful for avid weather watchers and individuals who enjoy tracking changes in their local environment.

The WS-9043U also incorporates user-friendly technologies, such as easy installation and setup, making it accessible for all levels of tech-savviness. The unit runs on batteries, ensuring it remains operational during power outages, and the wireless nature of the outdoor sensor allows for flexible placement without the hassle of tangled wires.

Overall, the La Crosse Technology WS-9043U is an excellent choice for anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of weather patterns and indoor conditions. With its combination of features, reliability, and user-friendliness, this weather station stands out as a valuable tool for monitoring both the external environment and home comfort levels. Whether you're a weather hobbyist or simply want to stay informed, the WS-9043U delivers key insights to help you make informed decisions.
