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  
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  
4
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
feet of resistance and an interior wall  
can have up 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 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.

Resetting Min and Max Temperatures  
To reset both the minimum and  
maximum temperatures—press and  
hold the “MIN/MAX” button for 5  
seconds.  
Adding Additional Remote  
Temperature Sensors (optional)  
The WS-7211U 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-7211U. 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  
10  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
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.

Weather Forecast  
The weather forecasting feature is  
estimated to be 75% accurate. The  
weather forecast is based solely upon the  
change of air pressure over time. The WS-  
7211U averages past air-pressure readings  
to provide an accurate forecast, creating a  
necessity to disregard all weather  
forecasting for 12-24 hours after the unit  
has been set-up, reset, or moved from one  
altitude to another (i.e. from one floor of a  
building to another floor). In areas where  
the weather is not affected by the change  
of air pressure, this feature will be less  
accurate.

Weather Icons  
There are 3 possible weather icons that  
will be displayed in the FORECAST  
LCD:  
Sunny—indicates that  
the weather is expected  
to improve (not that the  
weather will be sunny).  
Sun with Clouds—  
indicates that the  
weather is expected to  
be fair (not that the  
weather will be sunny  
with clouds).  
Clouds with Rain—  
indicates that the  
weather is expected to  
get worse (not that the  
13  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
weather will be rainy).  
The weather icons change when the unit  
detects a change in air pressure. The icons  
change in order, from “sunny” to “partly  
sunny” to “cloudy” or the reverse. It will  
not change from “sunny” directly to  
“rainy”, although it is possible for the  
change to occur quickly. If the symbols  
do not change then the weather has not  
changed, or the change has been slow and  
gradual.  
Weather Tendency Arrows  
Other possible displays in the  
FORECAST LCD are 2 weather tendency  
arrows, one that points up (on the left side  
of the LCD) and one that points down (on  
the right side of the LCD). These arrows  
reflect current changes in the air pressure.  
An arrow pointing up indicates that the air  
pressure is increasing and the weather is  
expected to improve or remain good. An  
14  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
arrow pointing down indicates that the air  
pressure is decreasing and the weather is  
expected to become worse or remain  
poor. No arrow means the pressure is  
stable.  
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  
Remove the mounting bracket from the  
remote temperature sensor. Mount the  
bracket in the desired location with either  
screws or adhesive tape. Insert remote  
temperature sensor into mounting bracket.

Indoor Weather Station  
The indoor weather 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 weather  
station in an appropriate location.  
To wall mount the indoor weather station  
first remove the table stand. Next insert  
an appropriate screw in your desired  
location. Using the integrated hanging  
hole on the back of the unit, slip indoor  
weather 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,  
Problem: The LCD is faint  
Solution: Replace batteries  
16  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
Problem: No outdoor temperature is  
displayed.  
Solution:  
1. Remove all batteries, reinsert into  
remote temperature sensor first, then  
into the indoor weather station.  
2. Place remote temperature sensor  
closer to the indoor weather station.  
3. Be sure all batteries are fresh.  
4. Place remote temperature sensor and  
indoor weather 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.  
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  
17  
nload from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Downl  
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  
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. Contact La Crosse Technology  
repairs.
