La Crosse Technology Wireless Temperature Station WS-7013TWC User manual

Quick Start for your WS-7013U
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.
1. Have the indoor station and outdoor remote 3 to 5 apart.

3. Place the batteries into the outdoor remote first then into the indoor station.
(All outdoor remotes must be started before the indoor station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
In this time the display and sensor will start to talk to each other and the display will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature. If the 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 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 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 sensor but direct rain must be avoided.
