User manual LA CROSSE TECHNOLOGY 308-145B

[. . . ] In order to ensure successful 915 MHz transmission, this should under good conditions be a distance no more than 200 feet/100 meters between the final position of the weather station and the transmitter (see notes on "Mounting" and "915 MHz Reception"). 3. 4. 4 HOW TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE WEATHER STATION The weather station uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1. 5V batteries. When batteries need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking). [. . . ] Use the + key to toggle between "°C" and "°F". Once the desired temperature unit has been chosen, confirm with the SET key and exit the setting mode. TO EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODE To exit the manual setting mode anytime during the manual setting, wait for automatic timeout. The mode will return to normal time display. WEATHER FORECAST AND TENDENCY THE WEATHER FORECASTING ICONS There are 3 weather icons in the top section of LCD which can be displayed in any of the following combinations: Sunny Cloudy with sunny intervals Rainy 13 For every sudden or significant change in the air pressure, the weather icons will update accordingly to represent the change in weather. If the icons do not change, then it means either the air pressure has not changed or the change has been too slow for the Weather station to register. However, if the icon displayed is a sun or raining cloud, there will be no change of icon if the weather gets any better (with sunny icon) or worse (with rainy icon) since the icons are already at their extremes. The icons display weather forecasts in terms of getting better or worse, and not necessarily sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse but not necessarily rainy. Note: After setting up, readings for weather forecasts should be disregarded for the next 48 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to collect air pressure data at a constant altitude and therefore result in a more accurate forecast. Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Remove the stand from the weather station by pulling it away from the base and hang the station onto the screw. Remember to ensure that it locks into place before releasing. POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: Choose a sheltered place. The transmitter is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The transmitter can also be position on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom of the transmitter. 19 To wall mount: 1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket. Note: Before permanently fixing the transmitter wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is receivable. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the transmitter or move the units slightly as this may help the signal reception. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided as these may cause damage to the unit and give inaccurate forecasts and readings. Precautions shall be taken when handling the batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage may be resulted if the batteries are in contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials or explosives. The batteries shall be taken out from the unit before the product is to be stored for a long period of time.
