QUICK SET-UP GUIDE

Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.

1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5

apart.

2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.

3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into

the indoor weather station.

(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor

weather station)

4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.

In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor will start to

talk to each other and the indoor weather station will show both the indoor

temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the indoor weather 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 10 minutes you can

place your remote temperature sensor outdoors and set your time.

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

temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass

through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of

resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance

plus resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.

NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain

must be avoided.

To complete the set up of your indoor weather station after the 10 minutes have

passed please follow the steps on pages 8 and 9.

Note: The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every 3 minutes;

after the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather station will

search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is no temperature

reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make sure the units are

within range of each other or repeat the battery installation procedure.

Forecast icon

The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate. The

weather forecast is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time.

The WS-7042TWC 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

areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this

feature will be less accurate.

A. Weather Icons

There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed in the

FORECAST LCD:

Sunny—indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not that

the weather will be sunny).

Sun with Clouds—indicates that the weather is expected to be fair

(not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).

Clouds with Rain—indicates that the weather is expected to get

worse (not that the weather will be rainy).

The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air

pressure. The icons change in order from “sunny” to “partly

sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will not change from “sunny”

directly to “rainy”, although it is possible for the change to occur

quickly. If the symbols do not change then the weather has not

changed, or the change has been slow and gradual.

B. Weather Tendency Arrows

3. Other possible displays in the FORECAST LCD are 2

weather tendency arrows one that points up (above the

forecast icon) and one that points down (below the forecast

icon).

4. These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.

5. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is

increasing and the weather is expected to improve or

remain good.

6. An arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is

decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or

remain poor.

7. No arrow means the pressure is stable.

II. Indoor Temperature and Humidity

The current indoor relative humidity (viewed below the time) and

temperature (viewed below the relative humidity) are displayed in the

INDOOR LCD.

III. Outdoor Temperature

The outdoor temperature is viewed in the OUTDOOR LCD. When there is

more than one remote temperature sensor unit in operation, a arrow will

appear above the CH 1 2 3 area at the bottom of the LCD. This indicates

which remote temperature sensor unit (1, 2 or 3) is currently displaying its

data in the OUTDOOR LCD. (This feature is explained in further detail in

section V—Adding Remote Temperature Sensors).

IV. Minimum and Maximum Temperature Records

The WS-7042TWC keeps a record of the MINIMUM and MAXIMUM

temperature for both the indoor and outdoor modes.

A. Viewing Minimum and Maximum Temperature Records

1. Press and release the “MIN/MAX/RESET” button.

2. MAX will appear below the indoor temperature.

3. The maximum recorded indoor and outdoor temperatures

will be displayed in their respective areas.

4. Press and release the “MIN/MAX/RESET” button.

5. MIN will appear below the indoor temperature.

6. The maximum recorded indoor and outdoor temperatures

will be displayed in their respective areas.

7. Press and release the “MIN/MAX/RESET” button.

8. The current indoor and outdoor temperatures will be

displayed in their respective areas.

B. Resetting the Minimum and Maximum Temperature

Records

Press and hold the “MIN/MAX/RESET” button for 5 seconds

to reset the minimum and maximum recorded temperatures.

V. Adding Remote Sensors (optional)

The WS-7042TWC is able to receive signals from 3 different remote

temperature sensors. The remote temperature sensor model(s) that you

choose will come with their own set of instructions. Follow these

instructions for a complete guide to setting up. Following are some brief

instructions for the basic set-up of remote temperature sensor units with the

WS-7042TWC. These extra remote temperature sensors can be purchased

through the same dealer as this unit, or by contacting La Crosse Technology

directly. A TX6U will monitor temperature only, a TX3U will monitor

temperature and display the temperature on its LCD, and the TX3UP will

monitor the temperature via a probe for measuring soil or water

temperatures..

Note: When setting up multiple units it is important to remove the batteries

from all existing units in operation. Then insert batteries into all the

remote temperature sensor units in numeric sequence. Second, install

batteries into the indoor weather station. Transmission problems will arise

if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up exceeds 6

minutes.

A. Set Up of Multiple Remote Sensors

1. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently

in operation.

2. Remove the battery covers to all remote temperature sensor

units.

3. Place all remote temperature sensor units in a numeric

sequential order.

4. In sequential order, install batteries into the remote sensors.

5. Install batteries into the indoor weather station.

6. Follow the Detailed Set-Up Guide for programming and

operating instructions.
