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 is displayed.
Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature sensor first, then
the indoor weather station.
2) Place the remote temperature sensor closer to the display.
3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4) Place the remote temperature 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 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
