Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date
signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earths Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum. For more information on the atomic clock and WWVB please see the NIST website at http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwvb.htm. QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. Have the Wireless Weather Station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the indoor weather station. (All remote temperature sensors must be started before the Wireless Weather Station) 4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES. In this time the Wireless Weather Station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and humidity, and an outdoor temperature. If the Wireless Weather Station does not display both temperatures after the 15 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoor and set your time. The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The temperature sensor has a range of 330 feet. Keep in mind that the 330 feet is in open air with no obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve around objects. Actual transmission range will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings, thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half. Example: A Wireless Weather Station with a 330 feet range is mounted on an interior wall, so that the signal has to pass through one interior wall, one exterior wall, and across the 10 feet width of the room between the 2 walls. The first wall will reduce the range to 165 feet, and the second wall will reduce the range to 87 feet. Factoring in the 10 foot room, this leaves a maximum of 77 feet of remaining signal range. This allowance is typically enough for a frame wall with non-metallic siding; however certain materials can reduce range even further. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can reduce signal range by as much as or more, compared to the reduction typical of most obstructions. It is possible to receive a signal through these materials, however maximum range will be much less due to their tendency to absorb or reflect a much larger portion of the sensors signal. To complete the set up of your Wireless Weather Station after the 15 minutes have passed please follow the steps that follow in the Detailed Set-Up Guide. 1. 2. 3.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one temperature sensor is being used) 1. 2. First, insert the batteries to the temperature sensor (see A. Remote Temperature Sensor below). Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the Weather Station (see B. Wireless Weather Station below). Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor temperature and humidity, and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step. After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the signal reception icon is no longer shown.
A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket snaps on and off easily. 2. Remove the battery cover, by sliding the cover down. 3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not spring free). 4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cover is on securely.

Battery Cover

B. WIRELESS WEATHER STATION 1. Remove the battery cover. To do this, insert a solid object in the space provided at the lower-central position of the battery cover, then push up and pull out on the battery cover. 2. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries. 3. Replace the battery cover.
Sensor signal reception icon* * When the signal is successfully received by the Weather Station, the icon will be switched on. (If not successful, the icon will not be shown in LCD) So the user can easily see whether the last reception was successful (icon on) or not (icon off). On the other hand, the short blinking of the icon shows that a reception is being done now.
If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 45 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 45 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 45 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for resynchronization.
PROGRAM MODE Programming Note: If 30 seconds is allowed to pass, or the CH button is pressed during the programming mode, the unit will confirm/set the last information entered the display will stop flashing and return to normal time-date readings. If you dont leave the program mode during the programming of sections IV through XI, you can advance to step 4 of the next program setting. If you do leave the program setting (or want to program a specific setting) follow each instructional step to program that setting. I.

TIME SETTING There are two methods by which the time and date can be set: A) Automatically via WWVB reception, or B) Manually.
A. WWVB (Remote Control Time) This method requires you to do nothing, except wait for the signal to be received, and to select a time zone. Reception usually takes approximately 10 minutes during optimal conditions. The best condition for reception is at night, between midnight and 6:00 amwhen there is less atmospheric interference. To keep your time as accurate as possible, Wireless Weather Station
conducts a WWVB search every night between these hours, and overrides any manually set time. The WWVB tower icon (appearing in the TIME LCD) will flash when a signal-search is in progress and a signal is being received, and will remain steady when the signal has been received. If the WWVB time has not been received after 10 minutes of battery installation, you may manually set the time or leave the time function alone (reception will occur regardless). After a successful reception, no more reception attempt would be made until the following day. B.

I. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate and is for the next 12 to 24 hours. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7014U-IT averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecastcreating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not largely affected by the change of air pressure, the sensitivity setting should be set to 1. A. WEATHER ICONS There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD:
Sunnyindicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Cloudsindicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds). Clouds with Rainindicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will be rainy). These icons indicate the expected weather change in the next 12 to 24 hours. The icon does not give an exact prediction of the weather, however it

should be viewed as a generalization of the expected weather change (for example a sunny icon indicates the weather is expected to improve). The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, from sunny to partly sunny to cloudy or the reverse. It will not change from sunny directly to rainy, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual. B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good, an arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable. II. INDOOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR The current indoor temperature (viewed on the left) and relative humidity (viewed on the right) are displayed in the INDOOR LCD. The comfort level indicator is located at the center of the INDOOR LCD. The indicator will display a happy face icon when the temperature is between 68F and 79F (20C and 25.9C), and the humidity is between 45% and 65%. A sad face icon will be displayed when the temperature and humidity are outside the mentioned ranges. III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE The temperature received from the remote temperature sensor is viewed in the OUTDOOR LCD. When there is more than one remote temperature sensor unit in operation, a boxed number will appear to the right of the temperature. This indicates which remote temperature sensor unit (1, 2, or 3) is currently displaying its data in the OUTDOOR LCD. (This feature is explained in further detail in section VAdding Remote Temperature Sensors). IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS The WS-7014U-IT keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM temperature, and the time and date of their occurrencefor both the indoor and outdoor modes. A. 1. VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS Press the IN button once. MIN appears above the indoor temperature and the LCD will flash, indicating that the minimum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum records will display for 30 seconds before returning to the normal display mode.

Press the IN button again (once while MIN is still displayed, twice otherwise). MAX appears above the indoor temperature and the LCD will flash, indicating that the maximum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. While MAX is still displayed press the IN button again to return to the current data display. Or you can wait 30 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings, and the unit will automatically return to current data readings. VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS Press the OUT button once. MIN appears above the outdoor temperature and the LCD will flash, indicating that the minimum temperature, and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum records will display for 30 seconds before returning to the normal display mode. Press the OUT button again (once while MIN is still displayed, twice otherwise). MAX appears above the outdoor temperature and the LCD will flash, indicating that the maximum temperature and the time and date of occurrence are displayed.
While MAX is still displayed press the OUT button again to return to the current data display. Or you can wait 30 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings, and the unit will automatically return to current data readings. RESETTING THE MIMIMUM AND MAXIMUM RECORDS All the Indoor records (minimum and maximum) will be reset after the IN button is pressed and held for 5 seconds. All the Outdoor records (minimum and maximum) will be reset after the OUT button is pressed and held for 5 seconds.

V. ADDING REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (OPTIONAL) The WS-7014U-IT is able to receive signals from 2 additional temperature sensors. The following are instructions for the set-up of temperature sensor units with the WS7014U-IT. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit. 1. Remove all the batteries from the receiver and sensor(s) and wait 60 seconds. During these 60 seconds, press any button 20 times to discharge any excess power. 2. Insert the batteries to the first temperature sensor. 3. Within 2 minutes of powering up the first sensor, insert the batteries to the Weather Station. Once the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the indoor/outdoor temperature and indoor humidity, time as 12:00, calendar, weather icons will be displayed. If they are not shown in
LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. The outdoor temperature from the first sensor (channel 1) should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen and the signal reception icon is not shown, after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1. Insert the batteries to the second sensor as soon as the outdoor temperature readings from the first sensor are displayed on the Weather station. NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the second sensor within 45 seconds of reception of the first sensor. The outdoor temperature from the second sensor and the "channel 2" icon should then be displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset from step 1. Insert the batteries to the third sensor as soon as the "channel 2" icon and outdoor data are displayed on the Weather Station. Then within 2 minutes, the channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be displayed and the channel icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1. NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the third sensor within 45 seconds of reception of the second sensor. IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for multiple sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the set-up from step 1.

VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR UNITS 1. To view the temperature of a different remote temperature sensor unit, press and release the CH button. A shift from one boxed number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD. 2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: first select which remote temperature sensor to read data from (indicated by the boxed number), then press the OUT button. Pressing this button once will display the minimum temperature, and the date and time the data was recorded. Pressing this button a second time (while MIN is still displayed, otherwise press the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum recordings. 6. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is necessary to select which remote temperature sensor you wish to reset. Press and hold the OUT button for 5 seconds, the records for the selected remote temperature sensor unit will be reset.
MOUNTING Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the Wireless Weather Station is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Wireless Weather Station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can
reach the remote temperature sensor or Wireless Weather Station. While the remote temperature sensor is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 330ftobstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The Wireless Weather Station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up. I. THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways: with the use of screws, or using the adhesive tape. A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS 1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature sensor. 2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. 3) Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil. 4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket. 5) Insert the remote temperature sensor into the bracket.

B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE 1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat. 2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. 3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket. 4) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. 5) Position the remote temperature sensor in the desired location, ensuring that the Wireless Weather Station can receive the signal. Note: Mounting with adhesive tape is not recommended as a permanent mounting solution. Only use the adhesive tape during set-up process. II. THE WIRELESS WEATHER STATION The Wireless Weather Station can be mounted in two ways: with the table stand or, on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included). A. USING THE TABLE STAND
The Wireless Weather Station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand all that is required is to place the Wireless Weather Station in an appropriate location. B. WALL MOUNTING 1) Remove the table-stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward. 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 Wireless Weather Station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. 4) Gently pull the Wireless Weather Station down to lock the screw into place. 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. MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings. Do not submerge in water. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs. SPECIFICATIONS Temperature measuring range: Indoor:

ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time) The NIST (National Institute of Standards and TechnologyTime and Frequency Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact time and date signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Weather Station. However, due to the nature of the Earths Ionosphere, reception is very limited during daylight hours. The Weather Station will search for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum.
QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. 2. 3. Have the indoor station and outdoor remote 3 to 5 apart. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes. Place the batteries into the outdoor remote first then into the indoor station. (All outdoor remotes must be started before the indoor station) DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the display and sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the station does not display both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your sensor outdoors and set your time. The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line. NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote sensor but direct rain must be avoided. To complete the set up of your temperature station after the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps on page 9 and 10. Note: The Remote Control Sender transmits a signal every 3 minutes; after the batteries have been installed, the Weather Station will search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery installation procedure. If a button is pressed before the weather station receives the temperature signal, you will need to follow the battery installation procedure again.

FEATURES OF THE WS-7014U

WWVB Tower Icon (indicates time reception) Alarm icon Weather Tendency Arrow Forecast icon Comfort Level Indicator
Satellite icon (indicates outdoor transmission)
I. WEATHER FORECAST The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS-7014U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecastcreating a necessity to disregard all weather forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or moved from one altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a building to another floor). In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate. A. WEATHER ICONS There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the FORECAST LCD:
Sunnyindicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that the weather will be sunny). Sun with Cloudsindicates that the weather is expected to be fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds). Clouds with Rainindicates that the weather is expected to get worse (not that the weather will be rainy). The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air pressure. The icons change in order, from sunny to partly sunny to cloudy or the reverse. It will not change from sunny directly to rainy, although it is possible for the change to occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not changed, or the change has been slow and gradual. B. WEATHER TENDENCY ARROWS Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD). These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing and the weather is expected to improve or remain good, an arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor. No arrow means the pressure is stable. II. INDOOR TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND COMFORT LEVEL INDICATOR The current Indoor Temperature (viewed on the left) and Relative Humidity (viewed on the right) are displayed in the INDOOR LCD. The Comfort Level Indicator is located at the center of the INDOOR LCD. The indicator will display a happy face icon when the temperature is between 68F and 79F (20C and 25.9C), and the humidity is between 45% and 64%. A sad face icon will be displayed when the temperature and humidity are outside the mentioned ranges.

III. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE The temperature received from the Remote Control Sender is viewed in the OUTDOOR LCD. When there is more than one Remote Control Sender unit in operation, a boxed number will appear to the right of the temperature. This indicates which Remote Control Sender unit (1, 2, or 3) is currently displaying its data in the OUTDOOR LCD. (This feature is explained in further detail in section VIAdding Outdoor Remote Control Senders). IV. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RECORDS The WS-7014U keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM temperature, and the time and date of their occurrencefor both the indoor and outdoor modes. A. VIEWING THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS 1. Press the IN button once. MIN appears in the upper-center location of the flashing INDOOR LCD, indicating that the minimum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum records will display for 20 seconds. Press the IN button again (once while MIN is still displayed, twice otherwise). MAX appears in the upper-center location of the flashing INDOOR LCD, indicating that the maximum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. While MAX is still displayed press the IN button again to return to the current data display. Or you can wait 20 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings, and the unit will automatically return to current data readings.
B. VIEWING THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE RECORDS
Press the OUT button once. MIN appears in the uppercenter location of the flashing OUTDOOR LCD, indicating that the minimum temperature, and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. The minimum records will display for 20 seconds. Press the OUT button again (once while MIN is still displayed, twice otherwise). MAX appears in the uppercenter location of the flashing OUTDOOR LCD, indicating that the maximum temperature and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. While MAX is still displayed press the OUT button again to return to the current data display. Or you can wait 20 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings, and the unit will automatically return to current data readings.

C. RESETTING THE MIMIMUM AND MAXIMUM RECORDS 1. 2. All the Indoor records (minimum and maximum) will be reset after the IN button is pressed and held for 5 seconds. All the Outdoor records (minimum and maximum) will be reset after the OUT button is pressed and held for 5 seconds.
V. ADDING OUTDOOR REMOTE CONTROL SENDERS (OPTIONAL) The WS-7014U is able to receive signals from 3 different Remote Control Senders. The Remote Control Sender model(s) that you choose will come with their own set of instructionsfollow these instructions for a complete guide to setting up. Following are some brief instructions for the basic setup of Remote Control Sender units with the WS-7014U. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly. A TX6U will monitor temperature only, a TX3U will monitor temperature and display the temperature on its LCD, and the TX3UP will monitor the temperature via a probe for use in pools, spas, etc.
Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries from all existing units in operation, then to insert batteries first into all the Remote Control Sender units, and in numeric sequence. Second install batteries into the Indoor Temperature Station. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6 minutes. A. SET-UP OF MULTIPLE UNITS 1. 2. 3. 4. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in operation. Remove the battery covers to all Remote Control Sender units. Place all Remote Control Sender units in a numeric sequential order. In sequential order, install batteries (follow the same battery installation procedures seen in section I. A) of the Detailed Set-Up Guide). Install batteries into the Indoor Temperature Station. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for programming and operating instructions.
B. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE CONTROL SENDER UNITS 1. To view the temperature of a different Remote Control Sender unit, press the CH button. A shift from one boxed number to the next should be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature: first select which Remote Control Sender to read data from (indicated by the boxed number), then press the OUT button. Pressing this button once will display the minimum temperature, and the date and time the data was recorded. Pressing this button a second time (while MIN is still displayed, otherwise press the button twice) will display the same data for the maximum recordings. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, it is necessary to select which Remote Control Sender you wish to reset. Press and hold the OUT button for 5 seconds, the records for the selected Remote Control Sender unit will be reset.

MOUNTING Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the Indoor Temperature Station is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the Weather Station, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate weather forecasting for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the Remote Control Sender or Weather Station. While the Remote Control Sender is weather proof, avoid submersion in water or snow. We recommend that you mount the Remote Control Sender on an outside North-facing wall. The sending range is 80ftobstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The Indoor Weather Station should display a temperature in the OUTDOOR LCD within 4 minutes of setting up. I. THE REMOTE CONTROL SENDER The Remote Control Sender can be mounted in two ways: with the use of screws, or using the adhesive tape. A. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS 1) Remove the mounting bracket from the Remote Control Sender. 2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil. 3) Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface. 4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.
B. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE 1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat. 2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket. 3) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the Remote Control Sender in the desired location, ensuring that the Indoor Temperature Station can receive the signal. II. THE INDOOR TEMPERATURE STATION The Indoor Temperature Station can be mounted in two ways: with the table stand or, on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included). A. USING THE TABLE STAND 1) The Indoor Temperature Station comes with the table stand already mounted. If you wish to use the tablestand all that is required is to place the Indoor Temperature Station in an appropriate location. B. WALL MOUNTING 1) Remove the table-stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward. 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 Temperature Station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the Station down to lock the screw into place.

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.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to prevent damage to the units. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings. Do not submerge in water. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit. Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
