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 15 MINUTES.
In this time the indoor temperature
station and remote temperature sensor

4
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 15
minutes please retry the set up as
stated above. After both indoor and
outdoor temperatures are displayed
for 15 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 can have up to 30
feet of resistance and an interior wall
can have up to 20 feet of resistance.

5
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 15
minutes have passed please follow the
steps in the detailed set up guide on
page 8.

Adding Additional Remote
Temperature Sensors (optional)
The WS-9055U 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-9055U. 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

10
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 indoor weather
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 “CH” button. A shift
from one number to the next should
be observed in the OUTDOOR LCD.
