2.
Place remote temperature sensor closer to the indoor temperature
station.
3.
Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4.
Place remote temperature sensor and indoor temperature station in
position so the straight-line signal is not passing through more than two
or three walls.
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 sensors could
be as much as 2 degrees different. However, the difference can be
exaggerated further because the sensors are designed for different
working environments. The indoor sensor is less responsive to ambient
air currents because of the shielding effect of the display's case. In
addition, the case can act as a heat sink to absorb and store heat from
external sources (i.e. handling of the case or radiant heat). Also, the much
greater range of the outdoor temperature sensor requires a different
calibration curve than the indoor range. Error is usually greater at the
extreme ends of a range, making it harder to compare different ranges
with different curves. Under non-laboratory conditions, it is difficult to
compensate for the above factors and obtain an accurate comparison.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
•
Extreme temperatures, vibration and shock should be avoided to prevent
damage to the units.
•
Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents. They may mark the displays and casings.
•
Do not submerge in water.
•
Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and
damage.
•
Opening the casings invalidates the warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.
Contact La Crosse Technology for repairs.
