Batteries

Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate

voltage.

We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for forecast stations.

Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries

dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in

performance.

Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years

in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain

voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for

the 10 years can deplete the power.

Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF

(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.

A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper

performance.

Forecast Station Factory Restart

DISTANCE: bring the transmitter, forecast station together inside, and place

both 5-10 feet apart with nothing between them.

REMOVE POWER: Remove batteries from the transmitter and forecast station.

DISCHARGE ELECTRICITY: Press one of the buttons on the forecast station least

20 times to clear all memory. Verify that the forecast station is blank before

proceeding.

UNPOWERED 15 MINUTES: Let the forecast station and transmitter sit with

power removed for at least 15 minutes.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 3

Note: Failure to allow a display to rest for 15 minutes can result in failure to

connect with the outdoor sensor or missing segments on the display. The

instruction manual describes a setup for a new unit that has not had time to

build up residual electricity.

TRANSMITTER: Insert fresh batteries into the transmitter, observing the correct

polarity.

Keep the transmitter 5-10 feet from the Forecast Station.

FORECAST STATION: Insert fresh alkaline batteries in the Forecast Station.

WAIT: Wait for 5 minutes for the outdoor temperature/humidity to appear.

CONNECTION: When RF (radio frequency) connection is established, the

respective temperature & humidity will appear on the main unit. Allow the

transmitter and Forecast station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a

strong connection.

PLACE TRANSMITTER OUTSIDE: For optimum 915MHz transmission, place the

outdoor transmitter a distance of no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air)

from the Forecast Station.

See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on

mounting the outdoor transmitter.

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Transmitter

Compatible Outdoor Transmitters

The TX29UDTH-IT, TX21U-IT, TX44UDTH-IT, TX29UTH-IT and TX28U-IT sensors

(915MHz) will work with this station.

Power Requirements

2-AA batteries power the outdoor transmitter.

We recommend alkaline batteries for the transmitter.

Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature/Humidity

Dashes means the connection is lost between the forecast station and the

outdoor transmitter.

Check the reading on the transmitter display.

Batteries often resolve the connection.

Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the transmitter and

the Forecast Station.

Reorientation of the Forecast station 90 degrees towards the outdoor transmitter

may provide better reception by the antenna.

Try the factory restart.

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Changes Constantly

The forecast station can read up to three outdoor transmitters.

Check the channel indicator. If it switches between 1, 2 or 3, your forecast

station is reading additional transmitters.

Check if the transmitter display reads the same as a channel on the forecast

station.

Press and release the SNOOZE/CH button to settle on one channel.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 4

Note: When first powered up it is natural for the forecast station to search

across all three channels for up to 15 minutes for outdoor transmitters.

You may have an additional compatible outdoor transmitter within range.

Occasionally a neighbor will have a compatible outdoor transmitter that is within

range.

Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Reading

The outdoor transmitter reads the environment. When mounted in the home it

will read inside temperature/humidity.

When the transmitter reads high during the day but not at night it is a

positioning problem.

Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next

to the Forecast station for 2 hours.

Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4

degrees to be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within

tolerance.

If the transmitter reads correctly when next to the forecast station then try a

different location outside.

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected

heat.

Intermittent Outdoor Temperature/Humidity

RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be

normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is

lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.

Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location.

Check Channels: The forecast station may be reading more than one

transmitter.

Freezer test: Confirm the forecast station is reading the correct outdoor

transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the

temperature drop on the forecast Station.

Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with transmitter and

forecast station 5-10 feet apart and inside to establish a strong connection.

After 15 minutes if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the

transmitter to another room with one wall between the transmitter and the

forecast Station. Observe to see if the temperature/humidity remains on

consistently for 1-hour.

If the temperature/humidity remains on while in the house then it is likely a

distance/resistance issue. Move the transmitter to different locations outside to

find a location where the temperature/humidity reading will hold.

Distance/Resistance can cause loss of transmitter signal.

Check Batteries.

Outdoor Transmitter Fell and No Longer Works

If there is no physical damage to the outdoor transmitter, the fall may not have

caused internal damage.

An outdoor transmitter that has fallen into a puddle or other standing water or

snow may have water damage.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 5

Transmitters are water resistant, not waterproof.

A fall can shock the transmitter or the batteries in the transmitter.

Batteries that have fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to

function properly.

Complete a Restart with fresh batteries.

Use Batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries

dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in

performance.

Outdoor Transmitter Drains Batteries Quickly

Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the

voltage of the batteries.

When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in

determining the problem.

Check the distance and resistance between the transmitter and forecast station.

Transmitters at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not

after they drain a bit.

Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the transmitter.

Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both

Alkaline and Lithium batteries.

Outdoor Temperature/Humidity Is Stuck or OFL

Check Batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this

reading.

Replace outdoor transmitter.

Note: You cannot change channels if only one transmitter is connected.

Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Transmitter

Mount outdoor temperature/humidity transmitters vertically and under a bit of

an overhang.

Protect the outdoor transmitter from standing rain or snow, and from the

overhead sun, which can cause it to read incorrectly. Generally, mounting under

an eave or deck rail works well.

Construct a small roof or box for the transmitter if you do not have an overhang.

Please be sure it is well vented.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 7

Mount the transmitter on the North side to prevent sun from causing incorrect

readings.

Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong signal.

Outdoor transmitters are water resistant but not water proof.

Avoid more than one wall between the transmitter and the forecast station.

Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that

will interfere with the signal.

RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.

Place the outdoor transmitter and the forecast station in the desired shaded

locations, and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the

transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception.

Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the

effective range.

MOUNT

Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature sensor .

Place the mounting bracket over the desired shaded location (wall or table).

Through the screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a

pencil.

Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are

flush with the bracket.

Insert the outdoor temperature sensor into the bracket.

Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent

mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process.

Position Forecast Station

The Forecast station has pull out legs to sit on a desk or table, or it can hang on

a wall.

Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones,

gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which

can prevent signal reception.

Place within range of the outdoor transmitter.

Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with

signal reception.

The maximum transmitting range in open air is 330-feet (100 meters).

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can

reduce the range.

For best WWVB reception, orientate the forecast station with the front of the

back facing Ft. Collins Colorado.

Distance/Resistance/Interference

Distance:

The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330-feet (100 meters)

between the outdoor transmitter and the forecast station.

Consider what is in the signal path between the forecast station and the

transmitter.

Consider the distance the forecast station is located away from other electronic

in the home.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. Page 8

Resistance:

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can

reduce the range.

When considering the distance between the transmitter and the forecast station

(330 feet open air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or

other obstruction in the signal path.

Closer is better.

Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the

effective range.

Interference:

Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the forecast

station.

Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the forecast station will

correct the interference issue.

Windows can reflect the radio signal.

Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.

Stucco is held to the wall by a metal mesh.

Transmitting antennas (ham radio, emergency dispatch center, airports, military

base etc.)

Electrical wires (utilities, cable etc.)

Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal.

Dirt: Trying to receive a signal through a hill is difficult.
