QUICK SETUP
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline
Batteries and avoid rechargeable
batteries.
1. Have the indoor temperature station
and remote temperature sensor 3 to
5 feet 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 temperature station.
(All remote temperature sensors must be
started before the indoor temperature
station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS
FOR 10 MINUTES.

4
In this time the indoor temperature
station and remote temperature sensor
will start to talk to each other and the
display will show both the indoor
temperature and an outdoor temperature.
If the indoor temperature 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

5
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
temperature station after the 10 minutes
have passed please follow the steps on
pages 8-9.

DETAILED SETUP GUIDE
Battery Installation
1. Install 2 AA
batteries in the
remote temperature
sensor. Make sure
they do not spring
free, or start-up
problems may occur.
2. Install 2 AAA
batteries in the
indoor temperature
station. Do not
press any buttons
for at least ten
minutes.
Setting the Time

9
1. Press and hold the
“SET” button for 5
second, “12h” will
appear in the TIME
LCD.
2. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button to select either 12h time
(am/pm) or 24h time
3. Press and release the “SET” button 2
times, the hour will flash in the upper
left corner.
4. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button to set the hours
5. Press and release the “SET” button to
move to the minute setting
6. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button to set the minutes.
7. Press and release the “SET” button to
activate the clock.
Note: When in 12h mode, there is only a
“PM” display, which appears under “TIME.”
If there is no display here it is AM. Make
sure you set the time accordingly.

10
Selecting Units of Measurement
1. Press and hold the “SET” button for 5
second until “12h” or “24h” appears
in the TIME LCD.
2. Press and release the “SET” button
again, “°F” will appear in the TIME
LCD.
3. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button to shift between °F and °C.
4. Press and release the “SET” button
twice to activate settings.

FEATURES
Minimum and Maximum Temperatures
1. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button, “MIN” appears next to the
indoor and remote temperatures.
2. The recorded minimum temperature is
displayed. The time of the minimum
outdoor temperature will also flash.
3. Press the “MIN/MAX” button,
“MAX” appears next to the indoor
and remote temperatures.
4. The recorded maximum temperature
is displayed. The time of the
maximum outdoor temperature will
also flash.
5. Press and release the “MIN/MAX”
button to exit min/max mode.
6. To view optional additional sensors,
press and release the “SET” button
while viewing the minimum or
maximum.

12
Resetting Min and Max Temperatures
To reset both the minimum and maximum
temperatures—press and hold the
“RESET/+” button for 4 seconds.

13
Adding Additional Remote
Temperature Sensors (optional)
The WS-7034U is able to receive signals
from 3 different remote temperature
sensors. Following are some brief
instructions for the basic set-up of
remote temperature sensor units with the
WS-7034U. 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 of water or soil via a
probe.
When setting up multiple remote
temperature sensors, it is important to
remove the batteries from all existing
units in operation, then to insert batteries
first into all the remote temperature
sensors. Second install batteries into the

14
indoor temperature station and do not
press any buttons for ten minutes.
Transmission problems will arise if this
is not done correctly.
To view the temperature of a different
remote temperature sensor unit, press
and release the “SET/CH” button. A
shift from one number to the next should
be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.

15
MOUNTING
Note: To achieve a true temperature
reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight.
We recommend that you mount the remote
temperature sensor on a North-facing wall.
The sending range is 80ft; obstacles such as
walls, concrete, and large metal objects will
reduce the range. Place both units in their
desired location before permanently
mounting.
Remote Temperature Sensor
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the
remote temperature sensor.
2. Mount the bracket in the desired
location with either screws or adhesive
tape.
3. Reattach the remote temperature sensor
into mounting bracket.

16
Indoor Temperature Station
The indoor temperature station comes with
the table stand already mounted. If you wish
to use the table-stand all that is required is to
place the indoor temperature station in an
appropriate location.
1. To wall mount the indoor temperature
station first remove the table stand.
2. Next insert an appropriate screw in
your desired location.
3. Using the integrated hanging hole on
the back of the unit, slip indoor
temperature station over the screw and
pull down to secure.

TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: For problems not solved, please
contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or
phone, or visit our website,
www.lacrossetechnology.com
Problem: The LCD is faint
Solution: Replace batteries
Problem: No outdoor temperature is
displayed.
Solution:
1. Remove all batteries, reinsert into
remote temperature sensor first, then
into the indoor temperature station.
2. Place remote temperature sensor closer
to the indoor temperature station.
3. Be sure all batteries are fresh.
4. Place remote temperature sensor and
indoor temperature station in position
so the straight-line signal is not passing
through more than two or three walls.
Problem: Temperatures do not match if
units are placed next to each other.

18
Solution:
Each temperature sensor is manufactured to
be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus
and under normal conditions, so two sensors
could be as much as 2 degrees different.
However, the difference can be exaggerated
further because the sensors are designed for
different working environments. The indoor
sensor is less responsive to ambient air
currents 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

19
•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.
•Do not subject the units to unnecessary
heat or cold by placing them in the
oven or freezer.
•Opening the casings invalidates the
warranty. Do not try to repair the unit.
