ABOUT THIS MANUAL

Thank You and Congratulations on selecting a La Crosse

Technology Projection Alarm Clock! We are positive you will enjoy

the benefits of accurate weather readings and the precise, radio-

controlled time information that our weather stations offer.

La Crosse Technology introduced radio-controlled clocks to the US

market in 1991 and continues to be on the cutting-edge of this

technology in America.

This manual will guide you step-by-step through setting up your

La Crosse Technology device. Use this manual to become familiar

with projection alarm clock, and save it for future reference.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Please verify the contents of your projection alarm clock before

beginning the set-up.

INCLUDED

Your projection alarm clock should include the following items:

•WT-5130ER Projection Alarm Clock

•TX6U remote temperature sensor

•AC adapter/transformer

•Adhesive tape

•(3) Mounting screws and (3) anchors

•Instruction manual and warranty card

NOT INCLUDED

You will also need (items not included):

•(2) fresh AA 1.5V batteries (optional for projection alarm)

•(2) fresh AA 1.5V batteries (for remote temperature sensor)

NOTE: Only use standard alkaline batteries in your projection alarm

clock. Avoid rechargeable and high-powered batteries.

GLOSSARY OF COMMON TERMS

NIST*

The National Institute of Standards and Technology maintains the primary frequency

standard for the United States. The NIST also coordinates the United States time and

frequency standards with other world standards. The NIST provides time and

frequency services for United States clientele.

WWVB*

The WWVB is an AM radio station in Ft. Collins, Colorado, managed by the NIST.

The WWVB’s function is to broadcast time-of-day information derived from the NIST

atomic clock, located in Boulder, Colorado.

ATOMIC CLOCK*

An atomic clock is an extremely accurate time device measuring time by the

movements of electrons in cesium atoms. The NIST atomic clock is one of the most

precise clocks in the world, accurate to 10 billionths of one second. The NIST’s

atomic clock contributes to the international group of clocks calculating the

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—the official world time.

RADIO-CONTROLLED TIME*

A radio-controlled time device is often confused with an atomic clock. However, a

radio-controlled time device receives its time information from the atomic clock each

day through an internal antenna. The radio-controlled time device searches for an

exact time signal every night when the signal from the WWVB is the strongest. The

signal can be received up to 2,000 miles away through a radio controlled time device.

LCD

“LCD” is an acronym for ”Liquid Crystal Display”. This is a common type of display

screen used in televisions, computers, watches, and digital clocks.

LED

“LED” is an acronym for “Light-Emitting Diode”. This type of light is used to illuminate

a variety of displays such as a digital clock or watch.

CELSIUS (°C)

Celsius is metric system’s unit of measurement used to calculate temperature.

FAHRENHEIT (°F)

Fahrenheit is the common unit of measurement used to calculate temperature the

United States.

*For more information regarding the NIST, WWVB, atomic clocks, and radio-

controlled time, please visit the NIST official website:

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality alkaline batteries and avoid

rechargeable batteries.

1. Place the projection alarm and remote temperature

sensor 3-5 feet apart.

2. Batteries should not be installed into either unit for 15

minutes.

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor

first and then into the projection alarm.

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.

In this time the display and the sensor will begin to communicate

with each other. The display will show both the indoor

temperature/humidity and an outdoor temperature. If the station

does not display both temperatures and the indoor humidity after

the 15 minutes, please retry the set-up in the instructions above.

After both indoor and outdoor temperatures are displayed for 15

minutes you can place your sensor outdoors and set your time.

The remote sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The

remote sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal has

to pass through will reduce distance of the range. An outdoor wall

or window has up to 20 feet of resistance and an interior wall has

up to 10 feet of resistance. Your distance plus resistance should

not exceed 80 feet in a straight line.

To complete the detailed set-up of your temperature station after

the 15 minutes have passed, please follow the steps beginning on

page 6.

NOTE: Direct rain will damage your remote temperature sensor. Fog

and mist, however, will not harm the sensor.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE

A. BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

a. Remove the battery cover.

b. Observing the correct polarity,

install 2 AA batteries. The

batteries will fit tightly (to avoid

start-up problems make sure that

they do not spring free during installation).

c. Replace the battery cover.

2. PROJECTION ALARM

a. Remove the battery cover.

b. Observe the correct polarity, and install 2 AA batteries.

c. In addition or

instead of

inserting batteries,

the AC adapter

can be used.

Simply plug the

adapter into the

receptacle on the

underneath of the

alarm clock and

then plug in adapter.

d. Replace the battery cover.

e. The projector will activate and remain on if the alarm

clock is plugged in. If only batteries are used, the

projector will only be activated when a button is pressed.

The projection is a red light, not harmful under normal

usage, although care should be taken to not look directly

into the light.

NOTES:

•After the batteries have been installed a tone will sound, and the

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) will activate.

•The indoor temperature/humidity and the remote temperature will

be displayed. Also, the time will appear as “-:--”.

•The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon

appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will

appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected, and the time

display will remain on “-:--”).

•While the WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will

appear in the time display.

•After 15 minutes, the projection alarm will either display the

WWVB time, or discontinue the search if the time is not found. If

the search is cancelled “-:--” will remain in the time LCD.

•The projection alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour

until the first signal is found.

•Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically

conducted nightly at midnight.

•If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if not,

another search will take place every hour (until 6:00 am) until the

signal is found successfully.

•If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not

appear and the clock will search again at 12:00 AM the next

night.

•The radio-controlled time receiver is located on the bottom side of

the projection alarm. When using the AC adaptor be sure to keep

the adapter cord away from the bottom side of the unit as if the

wire is too close it can cause weakened reception sensitivity.

B. PROGRAM MODE

To enter the Program Mode hold down the “SET/+/MIN” button for 3

seconds, until the time flashes in the top of the display. The Program

Mode Guide is laid out in a manner that allows you to program each

function separately, or you can follow the instructions entirely to program

the projection alarm. Complete programming is usually done for the

initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 and 2 of programming

sections F and G. To exit the setting mode simply wait approximately 10

seconds for the projection alarm to automatically return to normal

operation.
