GENERAL INFORMATION
BATTERIES: WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT BATTERIES?
•Good fresh batteries are important for best performance in your sensor and as backup in
your station.
•Batteries with an expiration date of 2020, were manufactured in 2010.
•We recommend batteries with an expiration date no more than 6 years in advance of the
current year for best performance.
•A minimum voltage of 1.48 v per battery is required for best performance.
•Lithium batteries may be used in outdoor sensor. Alkaline batteries for the station.
HARDWARE: SENSOR AND STATION
Your V10-TH station comes with:
LTV-TH2
Thermo-hygro sensor that reads Temperature and Humidity.
Your sensor operates at 915MHz RF.
WHAT ARE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THIS STATION?
LTV-TH2
: 2-AA batteries
V10-TH:
5 volt power cord (required) and 3-AA batteries for optional backup of your time and
date. Battery operation only will not update sensor or Wi-Fi data. Power cord is required.
POWER CORD INPUT: WILL THIS STATION WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES?
•Your power cord input is 100-240V 0.3A 50/60Hz, and may work in other countries if the
proper plug adapter is used (not included).
Note:
There is no guarantee this station will worn in another country.
•As a standalone station-, you can use this anywhere.
Note:
As a standalone station (sensor to station), you can use this station in other countries.
However the La Crosse View™ app was designed to work with the National Weather Service
(NWS) and National Institutes of Standards and Time (NIST) in the USA. Because of this, we
cannot guarantee that any “connected” features will work in another country.
SETUP: HOW DO I SETUP MY STATION?
Your station is a fully functional standalone station.
1. Install batteries into your sensor (any order).
2. Install power cord into wall outlet, and into the station. Install batteries into the station if you
wish.
3. Let sensor and station sit within 10 feet of each other for several minutes to lock the sensor
signals to the display.

4 | Page
Once the sensor is connected, you can choose to connect to the La Crosse View™ app or
continue to use as a standalone station. You can always connect later if you choose. Click here
for instructions for connecting your station to the La Crosse View™ app.
MOUNTING: WHERE DO I MOUNT/POSITION MY SENSOR?
Your sensor reads independently to your station.
LTV-TH2:
•Place your thermo-hygro sensor at least 6 feet off the ground.
•For accurate temperature readings your sensor needs to be shaded from the sun in a well
vented area.
•Mount your sensor vertically to allow moisture to drain out the bottom.
•Preferred location is on a north facing wall under an eave or deck rail.
•Avoid placing near a metal roof that will cause it to read high on sunny days.
•Avoid other sources of heat such as soffit vents, and window or door frames.
•For accurate humidity readings, avoid placement near vegetation and lakes or other bodies
of water when possible.
•Place your sensor in a well-vented area. Trapped moisture will cause inaccurate readings.
•Maximum transmission distance from your thermos-hygro sensor to your station, in open air
is 400 feet (121.92meters).
•Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. Tighten the
screw to snug (do not over tighten).
WHERE TO I PLACE MY STATION?
Your station is designed for flexible placement on a desk or countertop, or to position on the
wall.
•Position within reach of an outlet that is always active. Some outlets in living rooms and in
bedrooms may only be active when the light switch is on.
•This station must operate with the 5 volt power cord in order to receive sensor updates
and/or to update Wi-Fi data when connected. Operation on battery power will only maintain
time/date settings if you need to move your station.
•Best reception occurs when only one wall is between your station and your sensor outside.
•Position you station six feet from other electronics and wireless devices. If you suspect RF
(radio frequency) interference, simply move your weather station a few feet.
WHAT IS DISTANCE | RESISTANCE | INTERFERENCE?
Distance:
•The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 400 feet (121.92 meters) between your
sensor and your station.
•Consider the signal path from your station to your sensor as a straight line.
•Consider the distance the station is from other electronics in the home.

5 | Page
Resistance:
•Each obstacle: walls, windows, vegetation, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the effective signal range by about one-half.
•Mounting your sensor on a metal fence can significantly reduce the effective signal range.
Interference:
•Consider electronics in the signal path between the sensor and your station.
•Simple relocation of the sensor or the station may correct an interference issue.
•Windows can reflect the radio signal.
•Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal.
•Stucco held to the wall by a metal mesh will cause interference.
•Transmitting antennas from: ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military
bases, etc. may cause interference.
•Electrical wires, utilities, cables, etc. may create interference if too close.

FORECAST ICONS: WHAT DO THE FORECAST ICONS MEAN?
Standalone Station:
When operating as a standalone station, the forecast icons predict
weather condition over the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure with
about 70-75% accuracy. As weather conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we are not
responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect forecast.
Forecast Icons for standalone station:
•Sunny
•Partly Sunny
•Cloudy
•Rain
•T-Storm
•Snow
Note:
The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is
rainy or stormy.
•Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an
accurate, personal forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration.
•
IMPORTANT
: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to
the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Station operates
in one location the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
Connected Station:
When your station is connected to the La Crosse View™ app you will see an
additional 8 forecast icons from the National Weather Service (NWS). Your forecast will update
multiple times per day. The forecast icons predict weather condition for the next 3-6 hours.

TROUBLESHOOTING
HOW DO I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSOR WITHOUT LOSING DATA?
We designed this station for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose
data or require you to power down your station.
•If you have a low battery icon on your station, you need to replace the batteries in the
sensor or in the station as indicated.
•Simply install fresh batteries into your sensor then hold the SENSOR button for 3 seconds
and your station will search for your sensor.
•When changing the batteries in the station, continue using the power cord. After replacing
the batteries, no other action is needed. The batteries in the station only maintain time/date
in the event of a power outage.

12 | Page
BAR CODE: WHAT ARE THE BARCODES AND ID NUMBERS
ON MY SENSOR AND ON MY STATION?
•Did you know that your sensor will “lock” into your station?
•This ensures that the sensor readings are from your sensor and not a neighbors’.
•When you press and release your SENSOR button you will see your station ID, and your
thermo-hygro sensor ID.
•The sensor ID on the station should match your first six numbers on the barcode of that
sensor.
•These sensor will remain locked to your station until you manually delete them.
•The barcodes are also important identifiers for the La Crosse View™ app if you choose to
connect.
HOW DO I DELETE SENSOR ID NUMBERS?
In the rare event you need to replace your sensor, you will first need to delete the old sensor ID
from your station.
1. Remove batteries from your old sensor.
2. Press and release the SENSOR button to view your sensor ID number.
3. While viewing your sensor ID, hold the MINUS button for 5 seconds to delete your old
sensor ID. Dashes will show for the ID number.
4. Your station will automatically begin searching for the new sensor.
5. Install batteries in your new sensor and allow up to three minutes for your new sensor
readings and ID to appear on your station.
FACTORY RESET: HOW DO I FACTORY RESET MY STATION?
•A factory reset will delete all sensor ID numbers and if connected, remove all Wi-Fi
connections.
•Basically this is a great way to return your station to “out of the box” condition.
•This is more effective than removing all power for clearing out the station.
•All history records will be removed, so write down anything you want to keep.
To factory reset your station:
1. Hold the ALERTS and LIGHT buttons together for 5 seconds.
2. When your station resets it will look for all sensor. Allow at least ten minutes to reacquire the
sensor.
Note:
if operating connected, you will need to reconnect to Wi-Fi from the app. Click here for
details.
DASHES TEMP/HUMIDITY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR SHOW
DASHES ON THE STATION?
Dashes indicate the connection is lost between your station and the outdoor sensor.

13 | Page
•My first thought is always to check that my batteries are good. If it has been working and
now is not, low batteries are the most common connection problem.
•Next, check your distance, resistance and interference. If everything was working previously
at the same location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on
trees or bushes that causing another barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel
well through foliage due to the moisture content.
•Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path
for the sensor. If this occurs try moving your station a few feet or turning the station 90
degrees for a better angle to receive the sensor signal.
•When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the SENSOR button for three
seconds to search for your sensor. If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted,
great. If you do not regain connection, bring the sensor within 10 feet of the station and
search again.
WHY DON’T MY TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY READINGS
ON MY STATION MATCH THE WEATHER REPORT?
•Your temperature and humidity readings are from you sensor at your location. Your local
reporting station can be miles away so readings will differ.
TEMP ACCURACY: WHY DOES MY THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR READ INCCURATELY?
•The thermo-hygro sensor reads the environment. If your sensor reads high during the day
but not at night it is a mounting problem.
•
Side-by-side test
: Bring the thermo-hygro sensor in the house and place it next to your
station for 2 hours.
•Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to
be within tolerance. The humidity should be within 14% to be within tolerance.
•If the sensor reads correctly when next to your station then try a different location outside.
•Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat that may
cause inaccurate readings.
•Press and release the SENSOR button to view the thermos-hygro sensor ID number.
Compare to the barcode on your sensor to be sure they match.
•If your temperature is reading low, and location is not an issue, you may have a bad sensor.
WHAT DOES A READING OF “HI” OR “LO” MEAN?
•If your outdoor temperature reading shows “HI” or “LO”, check that your batteries are good.
•Overpower or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
•If batteries are good, replace the outdoor sensor.
•If your temperature is fine but your humidity is reading “HI” or “LO” or dashes, your humidity
may be below 10% Relative Humidity. Your sensor does not read below 10% humidity.

14 | Page
TEMP INTERMITTANT: WHY DOES MY TEMP/HUMIDITY READING COME AND GO?
•RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in
some environments (e.g. moister climates).
•If a sensor goes out, please wait 2-4 hours for it to reconnect on its own. Please be patient
– these stations can reconnect on, after many hours out.
•RF (radio frequency) communication is not always 100% on. Certain temporary conditions
can cause it to go out for a time (e.g. 100% humidity).
If a miss happens:
•If sensor loses connection to the station for any reason, the station will show dashes after 30
minutes.
•The station will search for 5 minutes every hour to reconnect with sensor.
•Be sure you have good batteries. Manually search for your sensor by holding the SENSOR
button for three seconds.
Try this:
•Bring your sensor within 10 feet of your station and make sure it is connected to the station.
•After 15 minutes move the sensor into the next room with a wall between the sensor and the
station for 1 hour.
•If there is no loss of signal in that hour, move the sensor just outside.
•Continue moving the sensor back to its original location.
•If you lose connection, look for sources of interference.
WHY AM I GOING THROUGH BATTERIES QUICKLY?
•Test a new set of batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the
batteries.
•When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again. This is helpful in determining
the problem.
•Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the sensor.
HOW DO I CHANGE BETWEEN FAHRENHEIT AND CELSIUS?
•On your sensor, open the battery cover and press the F/C button. This will change the
temperature display on the sensor only.
•On your station enter the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display
on the station.

make custom updates to best suit our customers' needs. So if you have ideas for changes
you'd like to see, please just let us know, your opinion truly matters to us.
•If you must have a station that connects to Weather Underground, we do offer a few models
that will transmit data to both systems (you'll want to check the specs or feature list to make

Underground has had on the weather community. We hope the added features and
personalization of the La Crosse View app will become a weather community standard.
