LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY - Frequently Asked Questions

WS-7394

To function properly, the weather station must be started correctly using good quality alkaline batteries and the time must be set.

     

Section 1 - LCD

     
Question 1   The LCD is faint.
     
   

1. Set the LCD contrast to a higher level.
2. Replace the batteries

     

Section 2 - Temperature/Humidity

     
Question 1   No outdoor temperature is displayed
     
   
  1. Remove all batteries, reinsert into the remote temperature sensor first, then into the indoor weather station.
  2. Place remote temperature 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, headphone, or speakers) in the vicinity. The signal travels in a straight line, and electrical source near that "line" may cause interference.
     
Question 2   Temperature or air pressure is incorrect
     
   
  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 contact us via email at support@lacrossetechnology.com or by phone at 1-888-211-1923
     

Section 3 - WWVB Time and Date

     
Question 1   WWVB time and date will not set or update
     
   
  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.

If there is a consistent problem, please contact us via email at support@lacrossetechnology.com or by phone at 1-888-211-1923
