QUICK SETUP  
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries; avoid rechargeable batteries.  
1. Have the Wireless Weather Station and thermo-hygro sensor 3 to 5 feet  
apart.  
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.  
3. Place the batteries into the thermo-hygro sensor first and next into the  
Wireless Weather Station.  
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.  
In this time the Wireless Weather Station and the thermo-hygro sensor will begin to  
communicate with each other, and the display will show both the indoor temperature  
and an outdoor temperature. If the Wireless Weather 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  
thermo-hygro sensor outdoors, and set your time.  
The thermo-hygro sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area (ex: under the eve of  
a roof). The thermo-hygro sensor has a range of 330 feet. Any walls that the signal will  
have to pass through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have up to 20  
feet of resistance and an interior wall will have up to 10 feet of resistance. Your  
distance plus resistance should not exceed 330 feet in a straight line.  
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your thermo-hygro sensor, but direct rain must be  
avoided.  
DETAILED SETUP GUIDE  
I. BATTERY INSTALLATION (When one Thermo-hygro sensor is being used)  
1. First, insert the batteries to the Thermo-hygro sensor (see “A. Thermo-hygro  
sensor” below).  
2. Within 2 minutes of powering up the sensor, insert the batteries to the  
Temperature Station (see “B. Wireless Weather station” below). Once the  
batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following the

indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed. If they are not shown  
in LCD after 60 seconds, remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds  
before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to  
the next step.  
3.  
After the batteries are inserted, the Weather Station will start receiving data  
signal from the sensor. The outdoor temperature and humidity should then be  
displayed on the Weather Station. If this does not happen after 2 minutes, the  
batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset from step 1 and the  
signal reception icon is no longer shown.  
A. THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR  
1. Remove the Protective Rain Cover.  
2. Remove the Battery Cover.  
3. Observing the correct polarity, install 2 “AA” Alkaline Batteries—make sure they  
do not spring free, or start-up problems may occur. Replace the Battery Cover.

C. ADDING ADDITIONAL REMOTE SENSORS (OPTIONAL)  
The WS-9023U is able to receive signals from 2 additional thermo-hygro sensors . The  
following are instructions for the set-up of thermo-hygro sensor units with the WS-  
9023U. These extra sensors can be purchased through the same dealer as this unit.

1. Remove all the batteries from the receiver and sensor(s) and wait 60 seconds.  
During these 60 seconds, press any button 20 times to discharge any excess  
power.  
2. Insert the batteries to the first Thermo-hygro sensor.

then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen and the signal  
reception icon is not shown, after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be  
removed from both units and reset from step 1.  
5. Insert the batteries to the second sensor as soon as the outdoor temperature and  
humidity readings from the first sensor are displayed on the Weather station.  
NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the second sensor within 30  
seconds of reception of the first sensor.  
6. The outdoor temperature and humidity from the second sensor and the "channel  
2" icon should then be displayed on the Weather station. If this does not happen  
after 2 minute, the batteries will need to be removed from all the units and reset  
from step 1.  
7. Insert the batteries to the third sensor as soon as the "channel 2" icon and  
outdoor data are displayed on the Weather station. Then within 2 minutes, the  
channel 3 outdoor data from the third sensor will be displayed and the channel  
icon will shift back to "1" once the third sensor is successfully received. If this is  
not happen, user shall restart the setting up from step 1.  
NOTE: You must insert the batteries into the third sensor within 30 seconds of  
reception of the second sensor.  
IMPORTANT: Transmission problems will arise if the setting for multiple  
sensors is not followed as described above. Should transmission problems  
occur, it is necessary to remove the batteries from all units and start again the  
set-up from step 1.  
D. VIEWING AND OPERATING WITH MULTIPLE REMOTE SENSOR UNITS  
1. To view the temperature of a different thermo-hygro sensor unit, press and release  
the SET/CH button. A shift from one “boxed” number to the next should be  
observed on the right side of the OUTDOOR LCD.  
2. To view the Minimum/Maximum temperature & humidity : first select from which  
thermo-hygro sensor to read data (indicated by the “boxed” number). Pressing and  
releasing the MIN/MAX button will toggle through the minimum and maximum  
indoor temperature, and the minimum and maximum outdoor temperature and  
humidity.  
3. To reset the Minimum/Maximum readings, press and hold the MIN/MAX button for  
5 seconds.

III. MOUNTING  
Note: To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting in direct sunlight. We  
recommend that you mount the thermo-hygro sensor on an outside North-facing wall  
(under the eve of a house is ideal). The sending range is 330 feet; obstacles such as  
walls, stucco walls, concrete, and large metal objects will reduce the range. Place the  
Wireless Weather Station and thermo-hygro sensor in their desired locations before  
permanently mounting.  
A. THERMO-HYGRO SENSOR  
1. Remove the mounting bracket from the thermo-hygro sensor.  
2. Mount using either screws or adhesive tape.  
3. Reattach the thermo-hygro sensor to the mounting bracket.  
B. WIRELESS WEATHER STATION  
1. The Wireless Weather Station comes with the table stand  
attached to the back of the Receiver. If you wish to use the table-  
stand, simply place the Wireless Weather Station in an  
appropriate location, and pull out on the attached stand.  
2. To wall mount, push the table stand flat against the Wireless  
Weather Station (if it isn’t already flat). Fix a screw (not included)  
into the desired wall, and place the Wireless Weather Station  
onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside. Gently  
pull the Wireless Weather Station down to lock the screw into  
place.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
NOTE: For problems not solved, please contact La Crosse Technology via e-mail or  
Problem: The LCD is faint  
Solution: Replace batteries  
Problem: No outdoor temperature is displayed.  
Solution:  
1) Bring any units from outside, inside and place the units 3 to 5 feet apart with  
nothing in-between them.  
2) Remove the batteries from all units.  
3) Press one of the buttons on the Wireless Weather Station display at least 20  
times to clear all memory. Verify that the display is blank before proceeding.  
4) Using good quality alkaline batteries, place the batteries back into the outdoor  
temperature sensor; making sure they are installed according to the diagrams in  
the battery compartment.  
5) Taking care not to press any buttons, reinstall the batteries in the Wireless  
Weather Station according to the diagram in the battery compartment.  
6) Do not press any buttons for at least 15 minutes after installing the batteries.  
(This is to let the units establish a good connection.)
