What is the maximum distance I can have the remote from the display?
The maximum open-air distance is 25 meters in a straight line although you should take into account distance and resistance. Substract 6-10 meters for an exterior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. Substract 3-10 meters for interior wall or any obstruction that is similar in width or composition. (An obstruction would include anything that is between the line of sight like a roof, walls, floors, ceilings, trees, etc.). Also keep your units away from electronic appliances like TVs, microwaves, computers, refrigerators, and speakers.
Does the remote transmitter have any trouble transmitting through specific materials?
Yes and No. We have trouble maintaining a signal through metal siding, stucco walls, and UV glass. You can get the remote sensor to transmit through these materials, but it will take a little bit of trial and error. Reset the weather station as mentioned above and change the angle that the remote transmits through the siding or glass until an outdoor temperature remains on the display for an extended period of time. Keep in mind that the signal from the remote must travel through some space (10 cm of air minimum) before reaching the metal wall or glass window.
Where can I mount the remote sensor?
In order to get an accurate reading and to prolong the life of your sensor we recommend that you have it in a sheltered area out of the sun and direct rain. Fog and Mist will not affect the sensor, but a soaking in water may. You can mount it outside under an eve of your house or any other suitable place that will keep it out of the sun and rain. Do not wrap the sensor in plastic or seal it in a plastic bag.

How can I get outdoor temperature to show on the display for the first time or after loss of information (i.e. power blackout)?
Bring both units (station + transmitter) inside your house and have the units 1 to 2 meters apart with nothing in-between them. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the batteries from both units, display and remote sensor Wait until the display is blank in order to clear all memory (we recommend one minute) Insert the batteries back into the display Taking care NOT to press any buttons, reinstall the batteries into the sensor Do not press any button for at least 10 minutes after installing the batteries. (Let them establish a good connection). Pressing a button during this stage would be enough to stop the search of the sensor which is now being carried out by the station. An outdoor temperature should be showing on your display. You can now put your outdoor sensor back outside.
How can I read and reset the MIN/MAX temperatures?
Press the MIN/MAX key in order to get recordings of the mini, maxi and current (in- and outdoor) temperature values displayed. Press and hold the MIN/MAX key for 4 seconds (in order to reset the in- and outdoor values). The MINI and MAXI values that appear then on the screen are the current ones.
What do I do if my display is blank?
Check the polarity on your batteries to make sure they are installed according to the diagrams in the battery compartment. Also make sure that you are using a new good quality alkaline battery. We advised against reloading batteries.
Why is my time incorrect or not displaying at all?
The clock of this station receives a signal from Frankfurt (DCF-77) to set the clock to atomic time and the calendar. Sometimes, due to adverse weather or atmospheric conditions you will not be able to receive a signal immediately. The best way to get a signal is to put your clock in a window facing Frankfurt until you see the tower icon appear. If definitely you are not receiving the signal, wait one night during the night time there are less atmospheric disturbances.

How do I manually set my time?
1. Press and hold the SET button for 5 seconds. 2. The hour will now be flashing. Press and release the + button until correct hour is displayed. Press then and release the SET button once. 3. The minutes will now be flashing. Press and release the + button until correct minutes are shown. Press and release the SET button once.
What means when OFL instead of data is displayed?
OFL is displayed when in- or outdoor temperature data are out of range. NOTA: - indoor temperature measurement range : from 0 C to 60 C - outdoor temperature measurement range : from -29.9 C to 69.9 C In the case of outdoor temperature OFL can also be displayed when any interference occurs. Correct data transmission is usually restored during the next data collection. If that is not the case, you should restart your station (see above).

Weather forecast icons

Weather forecast icon indicates improvement or degradation trend rather than immediate sun or rain as the icon shows. Example: if current weather is cloudy and the icon of rain is displayed, this does not imply that the station is deficient because it is not raining. It simply means that the atmospheric pressure fell and that weather will be getting poor but not necessarily raining. Once your station installed, it is recommended to ignore the forecast for the next 24 to 48 hours, in order to leave time to the station and to operate in constant condition and altitude. Each noticeable and important change of atmospheric pressure will result in a change of icon. In the climates subjected to abrupt weather changes (e.g. sunny to rainy weather) the station will operate more precisely than in a climate with small weather variations (e.g. almost always sunny). In addition, an estimated forecast precision is about 75%. The La Crosse Technology weather stations are the only ones being equipped with a pressure sensor which records pressure variations every 3 hours and which calculates, on a 12 hours average, and displays weather tendency averages. Consequently, the La Crosse Technology weather stations are more sensitive and more precise than all other similar products.

This projection clock receives a signal from Frankfurt (DCF-77) to set the clock and the calendar to atomic time. Sometimes, due to adverse weather or atmospheric conditions you will not be able to receive a signal immediately. The best way to get a signal is to put your clock in a window facing Frankfurt until you see the tower icon appear. If definitely you are not receiving the signal, wait one night during the night time there are less atmospheric disturbances. 2. If your time is off by an increment of 1 hour, 2 hours or more, change your TIME ZONE on zero to have time zone on the atomic time (which is CET meaning Central European Time = Brussels, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid,.). Change time zone on -1 for Great Britain and Portugal. Match any time zone when receiving DCF-77 signal. 3. For this weather station, the time runs from -9 hours up to +9 hours. 1.

How do I manually set the time and date ?
In case the clock do not receive the DCF-77 signal, it is possible to manually set the time and date. Proceed as follows : 1. Remove the batteries from the clock and wait until the LCD screen is blank. 2. Insert the batteries back into the projection clock. While all LCD segments are lit up, press and hold the MODE/IN key : the time will start flashing. 3. Press the AL/HR key to set the hour and the MODE/IN key to set the minutes. Once the time is correct, press the SNOOZE key (on the top of the clock) to proceed to calendar setting. 4. The year will now be flashing : use the MODE/IN key to set it. Once the year is correct, press the SNOOZE key to proceed to month and date settings. 5. Month and date will start flashing : set the month with the MODE/MIN key and the date with the AL/HR key. Once the date and month are correct, press the SNOOZE key to proceed to day setting. 6. The first two letters of the day will now be flashing : set the correct day by pressing the MODE/MIN key. Once this is done, exit the manual setting mode by pressing the SNOOZE key.

How do I set the alarm?

Once the DCF-77 time signal is received or the time has been manually set, proceed as follows to set the alarm : 1. Press and hold the AL/HR key : the ((())) icon will be displayed and the letters AL will start flashing. 2. Set the hours and minutes of the desired alarm time by using the AL/HR (hours) or the MODE/MIN (minutes) keys respectively. 3. Once the alarm time is set, press the SNOOZE key to confirm and exit. Note : The ((())) icon indicates that the alarm is ON. Press briefly the AL/HR key to activate/deactivate it.
OFL is displayed when in- or outdoor temperature data are out of range. NOTA: indoor temperature measurement range : from 0C to 49 C
Correct data transmission is usually restored during the next data collection. If that is not the case, you should restart your station (see above).
Do the projection system work under any conditions ?
The projection system will not work under the following conditions : the clock is not placed in total darkness the DCF time signal has not been received
