La Crosse Technology WS-3610 - Manual (Page 2)

5 System Start
After inserting the batteries or connecting the AC adapter, the LCD will display all of
the digital segments for a few seconds.
Immediately after this the Base Station will enter a test mode during which all
measured and received weather data is cycled through, updated and displayed for a
period of approximately 15 minutes.
During this test mode, the unit will not receive the WWVB time signal.
Note: The test mode is designed so that you may check all of the cables for correct
connection and all of the components for proper function.
• To manually test the Wind Sensor: manually turn the wind-gauge, moving the
weather-vane
• To manually test the Rain Sensor: tilt the rain sensor back and forth in order to
hear the impact of the internally moving seesaw
• To manually test the Thermo-Hygro: with both the Base Station and Thermo-
Hygro placed next to each other, compare the INDOOR and OUTDOOR
sections of the LCD to make sure that they both produce the same data.
After completing the test mode, the Touch Screen Weather Center will automatically
switch to the normal display mode in order to perform all other settings. At this point
the Base Station will also automatically start searching for the WWVB time signal.
6 Placement
After the Weather Station has been checked for correct function with regard to the
above points and found fit, the mounting of the system components can take place. It
must be ensured however that all components work properly together at their chosen
mounting or standing locations. If there appear to be problems with the 433 MHz
radio transmission they can typically be overcome by moving the Thermo-Hygro
Sensor.
