In this time the indoor temperature station and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor temperature 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 15 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time. The remote tempera

seconds. C. ADDING ADDITIONAL REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSORS (OPTIONAL) 1. The WS-9117U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote temperature sensors. Following are some brief instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the WS-9117U. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology directly. A TX6 will monitor temperature only, a TX3U will monitor temperature and display the temp

remote temperature sensor 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. 2. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in operation. 3. Remove the battery covers to all remote temperature sensor units. 4. Place all remote temperature sensor units in a numeric sequential order. 5. In sequential order

V. MOUNTING Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We recommend that you mount the remote temperature sensor on an outside North- facing wall. The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place both units in their desired location before permanently mounting. A. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature sensor 2. Mount using either

that is required is to place the indoor temperature station in an appropriate location. 2. To wall mount, remove the table stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from the rear and rotate forward. a) Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, and place the indoor temperature station onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently pull the indoor temperature station down to lock the screw into place. 18

TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or phone, or visit our website, www.lacrossetechnology.com Problem: The LCD is faint Solution: Replace batteries Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed. Solution: 1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into remote temperature sensor first, and then into the indoor temperature station. 2) Place remote temperature sensor closer to the indoor temperature station. 3) Be sure all batter

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 temperature sensors could be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be exaggerated further because the temperature sensors are designed for different working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient air currents because of the shielding
