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 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 batteries
Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed.
Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into sender first, then display.
2) Place remote sender closer to display.
3) Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4) Place Remote Control Sender and 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 1 degree
plus or minus and under normal conditions, so two sensors could be as
much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated
further because the sensors are designed for different working
environments. The indoor 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 greater range of the
outdoor temperature sensor requires a different calibration curve than the
indoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends of a range,
making it harder to compare different ranges with different curves. Under
non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to compensate for the above
factors and obtain an accurate comparison.
