FAQ WS-9001U-IT with TX38U-IT

Congratulations on purchasing this state-of-the-art

Weather Station.

Remember, for your Weather Station to work properly,

it must be started correctly, using good quality alkaline

batteries, and the time must be set manually.

Before calling for technical support (1-888-211-1923),

you may be able to correct the problem by first per-

forming a Proper Restart, an Initial Set-up, and prob-

lem-solving with the trouble-shooting guide.

FIRST THINGS FIRST, OR BATTERIES, BATTERIES,

BATTERIES

Batteries are the number one warranty issue that we

have. We recommend new, plain alkaline batteries for

our products.

A good alkaline battery will have an expiration date

printed on it. Alkaline batteries are dated six to seven

years beyond the current year. Therefore a battery with

an expiration date three years beyond the current year

has already been sitting on a shelf for three to four years.

Consider what happens to your car battery if you let it

sit unused for three to four years.

If you have a voltmeter and your older batteries test to

1.48 or better, they should power our products. New

plain alkaline batteries often test to 1.6 or better.

Use good quality alkaline batteries with an expiration

date of at least six years into the future or newer. If you

are using questionable batteries, be sure they mea-

sure at least 1.48 on a voltmeter. Generic or store

brand batteries, and batteries labeled super, ultra, max,

heavy duty, lithium and rechargeable should be

avoided. These batteries provide their power at differ-

ent rates than plain alkaline batteries. This may cause

problems, especially with the display unit. It is not al-

ways a low battery that causes problems. It may be an

overpowered battery.

- Proper Restart (Quick Set-up Guide)

In the event of installing or changing batteries in any of

the units, all units need to be reset by following the

setup procedures.

Have both the indoor display unit and the outdoor trans-

mitter (sensor) inside and five to six feet apart with

nothing between them.

Remove all power from both units.

Press any one of the buttons on the display unit at least

20 times to clear all memory. Verify that the display is

blank before proceeding. Let the units sit for five min-

utes before installing batteries.

Batteries: Use good quality alkaline batteries with an

expiration date of at least six years into the future or

newer. If you are using questionable batteries, be sure

they measure at least 1.48 on a voltmeter. Generic or

store brand batteries, and batteries labeled super, ultra,

max, heavy duty, lithium and rechargeable should be

avoided. These batteries provide their power at a dif-

ferent rate than plain alkaline batteries. This may cause

problems, especially with the display unit. It is not al-

ways a low battery that causes problems. It may be an

overpowered battery.

Place the batteries into the outdoor remote sensor first,

making sure they are installed according to the dia-

gram in the battery compartment. Next, taking care

not to press any buttons, install the batteries in the in-

door display unit according to the diagram in the bat-

tery compartment.

Do not press any buttons for at least 15 minutes after

installing the batteries. This is because the sensor

assigns a random security code at start-up, and this

code must be received and stored by the indoor sta-

tion in the first few minutes of power supplying.

A temperature reading should be showing on your dis-

play in the “outdoor” portion of your display. Because

the sensor detects the temperature at the location

where it is placed, and because the setup generally

takes place indoors, your indoor and outdoor tempera-

ture will match within a couple of degrees.

After you have completed this setup and placed your

sensor outside, the temperature reading will adjust to

the outdoor temperature. The temperature will be dis-

played on your indoor unit.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

If you continue to experience problems with your Tem-

perature Station after a Proper Restart, please see if

your problem is described in this Trouble-Shooting

Guide and follow the suggestions to attempt to correct

the problem before contacting technical support.
