DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 this time the indoor temperature Station and remote tem-perature sensor will start to talk to each other and the displaywill show both the indoor temperature and an outdoortemperature. If the indoor temperature Station does not dis-play both temperatures after the 10 minutes please retry theset up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor tem-peratures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place yourremote temperature sensor outdoors and set your remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry,shaded area. The remote temperature sensor has a rangeof 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass throughwill reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20to 30 feet of resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should notexceed 80 ft. in a straight : Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperaturesensor but direct rain must be complete the set up of your indoor temperature stationafter the 10 minutes have passed please follow the steps inthe detailed set up guide on page OF CONTENTS1.

4 Following are some brief instruc-tions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor unitswith the WS-9151U . These extra remote temperature sen-sors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit,or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly. A TX6U willmonitor temperature only, a TX3U will monitor temperatureand display the temperature on its LCD, and the TX3UP willmonitor the temperature of water or soil via a setting up multiple remote temperature sensors, it isimportant to remove the batteries from all existing units inoperation, then to insert batteries first into all the remote tem-perature sensors. Second install batteries into the indoorweather Station and do not press any buttons for ten problems will arise if this is not done view the temperature of a different remote temperaturesensor unit, press and release the CH button. A shift fromone number to the next should be observed in the ForecastThe Weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75%accurate.

5 The Weather forecast is based solely upon thechange of air pressure over time. The WS-9151U averagespast air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast,creating a necessity to disregard all Weather forecasting for12-24 hours after the unit has been set-up, reset, or movedfrom one altitude to another ( from one floor of a buildingto another floor). In areas where the Weather is not affectedby the change of air pressure, this feature will be less IconsThere are 3 possible Weather icons that will be displayed inthe FORECAST LCD:Sunny-indicates that the Weather is expected to improve (notthat the Weather will be sunny).Sun with Clouds-indicates that the Weather is expected tobe fair (not that the Weather will be sunny with clouds).Clouds with Rain-indicates that the Weather is expected toget worse (not that the Weather will be rainy).The Weather icons change when the unit detects a change inair pressure. The icons change in order, from sunny to partlysunny to cloudy or the reverse.

6 It will not change from sunny directly to rainy , although it is possible for the changeto occur quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weatherhas not changed, or the change has been slow and Tendency ArrowsOther possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2 weathertendency arrows, one that points up (on the left side of theLCD) and one that points down (on the right side of the LCD).These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure. Anarrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasingand the Weather is expected to improve or remain good. Anarrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreas-ing and the Weather is expected to become worse or remainpoor. No arrow means the pressure is : To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mount-ing in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the re-mote temperature sensor on a North-facing wall. The send-ing range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and largemetal objects will reduce the range.

7 Place both units in theirdesired location before permanently Temperature SensorRemove the mounting bracket from the remote temperaturesensor. Mount the bracket in the desired location with eitherscrews or adhesive tape. Insert remote temperature sensorinto mounting Weather StationThe indoor Weather Station comes with the table stand al-ready mounted. If you wish to use the table-stand all that isrequired is to place the indoor Weather Station in an appropri-ate wall mount the indoor Weather Station first remove the tablestand. Next insert an appropriate screw in your desiredlocation. Using the integrated hanging hole on the back ofthe unit, slip indoor Weather Station over the screw and pulldown to : For problems not solved, please contact La CrosseTechnology via e-mail or phone, or visit our website, :The LCD is faintSolution:Replace batteriesProblem:No outdoor temperature is all batteries, reinsert into remote temperaturesensor first, then into the indoor Weather remote temperature sensor closer to the indoorweather Be sure all batteries are remote temperature sensor and indoor Weather sta-tion in position so the straight-line signal is not passingthrough more than two or three :Temperatures do not match if units are placed next to.

8 Each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate towithin 1 degree plus or minus and under normal conditions,so two sensors could be as much as 2 degrees , the difference can be exaggerated further becausethe sensors are designed for different working indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currentsbecause of the shielding effect of the display s case. Inaddition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and storeheat from external sources ( handling of the case or radi-ant heat). Also, the much greater range of the outdoor tem-perature sensor requires a different calibration curve than theindoor range. Error is usually greater at the extreme ends ofa range, making it harder to compare different ranges withdifferent curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is diffi-cult to compensate for the above factors and obtain an accu-rate AND CARE instructions Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should beavoided to prevent damage to the units.

9 Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do notuse solvents or scouring agents; they may mark the dis-plays and casings. Do not submerge in water. Do not subject the units to unnecessary heat or cold byplacing them in the oven or freezer. Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not tryto repair the unit.
