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.
