Introduction
La Crosse Technology® introduces a Wireless Color Weather Station with precise, real-
time backyard weather. New – Monitor the mold risk for two separate areas using the
indoor weather station and multi-use remote sensor. Place the remote sensor outdoors to
monitor backyard weather conditions, or use it indoors to monitor high mold risk areas
like in a crawl space or a basement. Animated color forecasts with trends react to
changing barometric pressure. Monitor in/out temperature trends with high and low alert
settings. Measure in/out temperature and humidity with daily min/max records -- all on
one easy-to-read color display with adjustable brightness.

Heat Index/Dew Point/Mold Risk Indicator
The HEAT/DEW button toggles between Heat Index, Dew Point, and Mold
Risk. Each feature will display for 10 seconds then return to default display if
the button is not pressed again.
Heat Index
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of
how hot it feels to a human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool
effectively; therefore, the temperature will feel warmer.
View Heat Index: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and Heat
Index will show in place of the remote temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the remote
temperature is above 80 °F (26.7°C).
Dew Point Temperature
Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the
air has to cool in order to create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the
moisture content of the air at a given temperature.
View Dew Point Temperature: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button
twice and Dew Point will show place of the remote temperature.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.

Mold Risk Indicator
Mold Risk is based on temperature and humidity. Monitor the mold risk for two separate
areas using the indoor weather station and multi-use remote sensor. Place the remote
sensor outdoors to monitor backyard weather conditions, or use it indoors to monitor
high mold risk areas like in a crawl space or a basement.
View Mold Risk Indoor and Remote locations: From a normal display, press the
HEAT/DEW button three times and the Mold Risk will show next to the remote and
indoor humidity.
Temperature/Humidity Trend indicators
The indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity trend indicators will update every 30
minutes or less. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours.
Example: At 1:00pm, the arrow indicates the change in temperature since 10:00am. At
1:30pm, the arrow will indicate the temperature change since 10:30am.
Temperature has risen in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has risen in the past 3 hours.
Temperature has not changed in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has not changed in the past 3 hours.
Temperature has fallen in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has fallen in the past 3 hours.
Search for Remote Sensor
Hold the HEAT/DEW button to search for the remote sensor.
The strength signal icon will animate until the sensor signal is received or
for 3 minutes if no signal available.
MIN/MAX (View, Reset)
The Weather station provides the daily minimum and maximum temperatures
each day starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Weather station automatically
resets the min/max temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).

Note: The temperature areas will show dashes briefly then return to current
temperatures.
Animated Color Forecast Icons
Animated forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather
conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
INTELLIGENT WEATHER FORECAST
This station learns; please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometric calibration. This will ensure
an accurate personal forecast for your location.
SUNNY
PARTLY SUNNY CLOUDY
RAINY
STORMY
SNOWY
The Weather station samples the barometric pressure every twelve minutes.
These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in nonvolatile memory.
The three hour pressure icon change is based off of the last four average hourly
readings.
IMPORTANT: As the Weather station builds memory, it will compare the current
average pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The
longer the Weather station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons
will be.
The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily
sunny or rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and
the rainy icon is displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not
raining. It simply means that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected
to get worse, but not necessarily rainy.
