QUICK SET-UP GUIDE Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries. 1. Have the indoor weather station, remote temperature/humidity sensor and wind speed sensor 3 to 5 feet apart. 2. Insert the telephone plug (RJ-11) from the wind speed sensor into the receptacle on the remote temperature/humidity sensor. 3. Batteries should be out of both the indoor weather station and remote temperature/humidity sensor units for 10 minutes. 4. Place the batteries into the r

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE BATTERY INSTALLATION The first step to powering up the weather station is to insert the connector (RJ11) at the end of the wire attached to the wind speed sensor to the remote temperature/humidity sensor. Please ensure when doing this that the connector is inserted with the proper orientation. When seated properly you will hear the connector ‘click’ in place. A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY SENSOR 1. Remove the mounting bracket and humidity hood. 2. Remove t

PROGRAM MODE Programming Note: If 30 seconds are allowed to pass, or the WIND/SNZ 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 don’t 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 instruct

XII. SETTING THE FORECAST SENSITIVITY Note: The forecast sensitivity can be adjusted to allow for areas that have a higher or lower sensitivity to changing air pressure (for example coastal areas have more pressure change than areas such as southern Arizona). The numbers correspond to the amount of air pressure change necessary to trigger a change in the forecast icon. Areas that tend to have more air pressure change would set the sensitivity to 3, while areas that experience lower

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-7395U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate forecast—creating 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 area

2. Press and release the IN/HR button again (once while “MAX” is still displayed, twice otherwise). “MIN” appears to the right of the indoor temperature, indicating that the minimum temperature (along with the humidity measured at that time) and the time and date of occurrence are displayed. 3. While “MIN” is still displayed press and release the IN/HR button again to return to the current data display. Or you can wait 30 seconds, during either the minimum or the maximum readings, an

V. MOON PHASE There are 12 moon phases shown on the indoor weather station; the black portion signifies the portion of the moon visible in the sky. Thus, when the moon icon is all black, it is a full moon. VI. VIEWING THE CURRENT, MAXIMUM AND MINUMUM DEW POINT To view the current dew point: 1. Press and hold the OUT/MIN button for 5 seconds. 2. The OUTDOOR LCD will switch to show the dew point (DEW POINT will be visible in the upper left corner of the OUTDOOR LCD). To v

Note: Before permanently mounting ensure that the indoor 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 indoor 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 sunl

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 indoor 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.
