La Crosse Atomic Color Weather Station Bundle for Consumers

La Crosse Technology has introduced the 308-1414B-INT Wireless Atomic Digital Color Forecast Station, designed in sleek black. This weather station provides a vibrant, full-color display that offers real-time temperature and humidity readings, as well as a forecast that can range from sunny to rainy, or even snowy conditions. Key features include precise, self-setting atomic time and date, which automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time (DST).

The device records both minimum and maximum temperature values while alerting users to any extreme temperature changes. Additionally, it provides information on heat index and dew point levels and will inform you of low battery and signal reception strength. Please note that batteries are required but are not included with the purchase.

Factory Restart Procedure

If you encounter issues with your weather station, performing a factory restart may help. This process returns both the weather station and the outdoor sensor to a default state, resolving many common problems. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Remove all power sources, including batteries and AC power, from both the outdoor sensor and the weather station.
2. To clear all memory, press any button on the weather station at least 20 times.
3. Confirm that the weather station’s display is blank before proceeding (you might see faint lines indicating no power).
4. Ensure that both units are left without power for a crucial 15 minutes.
5. Connect the AC power cord to a wall outlet and plug it into the weather station.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to emit the RF signal.
8. Position the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet away from the weather station.
9. Once the RF connection is successfully established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow both components to stay in close proximity for approximately 15 minutes for a strong connection.
10. Avoid pressing any buttons during the initial 15-minute period.

To ensure optimal 433MHz transmission, position the outdoor sensor no further than 330 feet (100 meters) from the weather station, in an open area.

Installation Tips

For best results, install the remote sensor in a shaded location while positioning the weather station indoors. It’s advisable to wait about one hour before permanently mounting the remote sensor to verify proper reception.

Outdoor Positioning:

• Shield the remote sensor from rain, snow, and direct sunlight to avoid inaccurate readings.
• Installing the sensor under an eave or on a deck rail typically works well.
• Alternatively, you can construct a small box with ventilation for the remote sensor.
• For improved accuracy, mount the sensor on the north side to prevent sun exposure.
• A height of at least 6 feet is recommended for a robust RF signal.
• Avoid placing the remote sensor on a metal fence as this can drastically reduce the range.
• Remember, remote sensors are water-resistant but not waterproof.

With these features and installation tips, the La Crosse Technology C85845-INT Weather Station is an excellent tool for monitoring indoor and outdoor conditions, delivering accurate forecasts and temperature alerts through its dynamic display. This device, powered by a 5V AC adapter and AAA batteries, combines technology with functionality for an enhanced weather monitoring experience.
