TROUBLESHOOTING
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 indoor 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 indoor 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%.
2) TX3U or TX3UP is used for remote temperature.
Problem : WWVB time and date will not set or update
Solution : 1) Wait until overnight for signal to be received
2) Move indoor weather station away from sources of electricity
3) Place indoor 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.

B. Mounting the WS-8025SU Weather Center
The indoor weather station can be mounted in two ways; free standing or hanging on a wall.
To have the indoor weather station free standing, simply unfold the stands on the back and set
on a stable flat surface.
To wall mount the indoor weather station;
1. Ensure that the integrated stands are folded in.
2. Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch
(5mm) extended from the wall.
3. Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into place.
