| Problem: | The LCD is faint. |
|---|---|
| Solution: | 1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher level. |
| 2) Replace batteries. | |
| Problem: | No outdoor temperature/humidity is displayed. |
| Solution: | 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into the remote thermo/hygro sensor first, then into the indoor weather station. |
| 2) Place remote thermo/hygro sensor closer to the Wireless Weather Station. | |
| 3) Be sure all batteries are fresh. | |
| 4) No other interfering sources are being used (such as computer monitors, TV sets, headphones, or speakers) in the vicinity. The signal travels in a straight line, an electrical source near that “line” may cause interference. | |
| Problem: | Temperature, humidity, or air pressure is incorrect. |
| Solution: | 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 Wireless Weather Station and remote sensors are calibrated at the factory. If there is a consistent problem, please call La Crosse Technology. | |
| Problem: | “- -” in humidity display. |
| Solution: | 1) Humidity is below 1% or above 99%. |
| Problem: | WWVB time and date will not set or update |
| Solution: | 1) Wait until overnight for signal to be received |
| 2) Move Wireless Weather Station away from sources of electricity | |
| 3) Place Wireless 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. |
