QUICK SET-UP GUIDE
Hint:
Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable
batteries.
1. Have the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor 3
to 5 apart.
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 15 minutes.
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then
into the indoor weather station.
(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the indoor
weather station)
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 15 MINUTES.
In this time the indoor weather station and remote temperature sensor
will start to talk to each other and the indoor weather station will show
both the indoor temperature and humidity and the outdoor temperature.
If the indoor weather station does not display all values after the 15
minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After all values are
displayed for 15 min utes y ou 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 330 feet. Any
walls that the signal will have to pass through will reduce distance . An
outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of resistance and an
interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus
resistance should not exceed 330 ft. in a straight line.
ABOUT WWVB (radio-controlled time)
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology-Time and
Frequency Division) radio station, WWVB, is located in Ft. Collins,
Colorado and transmits the exact time signal continuously throughout
the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be received up to 2,000
miles away through the internal antenna in the indoor weather station.
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is
very limited during da ylight hours. The indoor weather station will search
for a signal every night when reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic clock in Boulder, Colorado.
A team of atomic physicists continually measure every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second a day. These
physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum.

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 weather station after the 15
minutes have passed please follow the steps in the Detailed Set Up
Guide.
Note:
The remote temperature sensor transmits a signal every 3
minutes; after the batteries have been installed, the indoor weather
station will search for the signal for a duration of 5 minutes. If there is
no temperature reading in the OUTDOOR LCD after 5 minutes, make
sure the units are within range of each other, or repeat the battery
installation procedure.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE
I. Battery Installation
Batteries will fit tightly. To avoid start-up problems, make sure that the
batteries do not spring free. Also be sure to insert alkaline batteries
into the remote temperature sensor first, then the indoor weather station.
Initial set up should be done with the remote temperature sensor and
indoor weather station in the same room. The units should be permanently mounted only after the signal reception has been verified.
A. Remote Temperature and Humidity Sensor
Battery Cover
1. Remove the mounting bracket. The bracket snaps on and off easily.
2. Remove the battery cover, by sliding the cover down.
3. Observing the correct polarity install 2 AA batteries. The batteries
will fit tightly (to avoid start-up problems make sure they do not
spring free).
4. Replace the battery cover by sliding upwards. Be sure battery cov er
is on securely.
B. Indoor Weather Station
1. Remove the battery cover (the cover has white writing on it).
2. Observe the correct polarity, and install two Alkaline AA batteries.
3. Do not press any buttons for at least ten minutes. If a button is
pressed before the indoor weather station has received infor mation from the TX6U sensor, no data will be received from that sensor until reset.
4. Replace the battery cover.
II. Start Up Sequence
A. Initial Start
1. Immediately after the batteries have been installed the LCD will
completely light up for a brief moment.
2. All information will then appear in normal mode, with “12:00” as the
default time and “WE.1” as the default date (2004 as the year).
3. The indoor temperature and humidity, and barometric air pressure
(as 29.91 inHg relative RH) will also be displayed.
4. There is a “satellite” icon that appears in the bottom portion of the
LCD, to the left of the outdoor temperature- this icon informs the
user that the indoor weather station is looking for signals from the
remote temperature sensor. Within five minutes the remote temperature should be displayed-if not, remov e batteries from all units
and repeat battery installation, the remote temperature sensor first,
then the indoor weather station.
B. WWVB Reception
1. Once the batteries are installed in the indoor weather station it will
automatically search for the WWVB signal. If it receives a good
signal (which is unlikely during daylight hours in most locations),
the WWVB reception indicator (looks like a tower icon) will flash.
The indoor weather station requires five full minutes of good reception to successfully capture the signal and set to the correct hour,
minute, second, month, day and year. If the signal reception is not
successful within ten minutes, the signal search will be cancelled
and will automatically resume every two hours until the signal is
successfully captured.
2. The signal is sent from Ft. Collins, Colorado only and is similar to
an AM radio signal. Atmospheric interferences such as stor ms,
sunspots, and even sunlight will cause the signal to not travel as
far.
3. To maximize reception, place the indoor weather station in a window facing Colorado, at least six feet from any electrical source
(computers, televisions, refrigerators, etc.). Do not move the indoor weather station while it is searching for the signal.
4. The time and date can be manually set. Once the signal is captured,
it will override any time and date set to the time zone selected.
GB
P.5

GB
5. Once the time and date are set, the indoor weather station will
conduct a search every night at midnight and correct to the accurate time and date (Daylight Saving Time is automatic). If the signal
has been received in the past 24 hours, the reception indicator will
be displayed.

B. Multiple Remote Temperature Sensors
The WS-7394U is able to receive signals from 3 different remote
sensors. These extra remote sensors can be purchased through the
same dealer as this unit. A TX4U will monitor the temperature and
humidity, a TX3U will monitor temperature and display the temperature on its LCD, a TX3UP will monitor the temperature via a probe for
measuring soil or water temperatures and a TX6U will monitor the
temperature only.
Note:
When setting up multiple units it is important to insert batteries
first into all the remote sensors, and in numeric sequence. Second
install batteries into the indoor weather station. Transmission problems will arise if this is not done correctly and if the total time for set-up
exceeds 6 minutes
1. Set Up of Multiple Units
a. It is necessary to remove the batteries from all units currently in
operation.

sensor can be displayed by pressing the “OUT/+” button.
c. To reset the minimum and maximum temperature readings press
and hold the “SET” button f or 3 seconds and that temperature record
for that remote sensor will be reset only.
Each remote sensor will have its own minimum and maximum values
stored.
C. Comfort Indicator for Indoor Temperature and Humidity
1. The comfort level indicator appears inbetween the indoor
tempearture and humidity.
2. The indicator will display a “happy-face” when the temperature is
between 68˚F and 79˚F (20˚C and 25.9˚C), and the humidity is
between 45% and 64%.
3. A “sad-face” will be displayed when the temperature and humidity
are outside the mentioned ranges.
D. Weather Forecast Icon and Pressure Trend Indicators
The weather forecasting feature is estimated to be 75% accurate , and
is based solely upon the change of air pressure over time. The WS7394U averages past air-pressure readings to provide an accurate
GB

GB
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 b uilding to another floor). In
areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure,
this feature will be less accurate.
1. Weather Icons
a. There are 3 possible weather icons that will be displayed at v arious
times in the center of the indoor weather station.
i Sunny-indicates that the weather is expected to improve (not
that the weather will be sunny).
ii Sun with Clouds-indicates that the weather is expected to be
fair (not that the weather will be sunny with clouds).
iii Clouds with Rain-indicates that the weather is expected to get
worse (not that the weather will be rainy).
b. The weather icons change when the unit detects a change in air
pressure.
c. The icons change in order, from “sunny” to “sun with clouds” to
“clouds with rain” or the reverse.
d. It will not change from “sunny” directly to “clouds with rain”, although
it is possible for the change to occur quickly.
e. If the symbols do not change, the weather has not changed (or the
change has been slow and gradual).
f. The sensitivity of the change in foreacst icon is set by the user in
section F of the Detailed Set Up Guide.
E. Weather Tendency Arrows
1. Along with the forecast icon there is a pressure tendency arrow.
2. There is one that points up (on the left side of the LCD) and one
that points down (on the right side of the LCD).
Pressure trend arrow
7. A storm can be expected if there is a drop of 4 hPa or more in less
than 6 hours. The clouds with rain icon will be displayed and the
tendency arrow that points down will be flashing-indicating the storm
warning feature has been activated. The flashing will stop when
the air pressure stabilizes or begins to rise.
F. Barometric Air Pressure Reading
1. The actual barometric air pressure is displayed directly under the
weather forecast icon
2. The relative air pressure is calibrated by the user through the programming mode.
3. Please Follow the programming instructions in section F of the Detailed Set Up Guide to set this feature.
G. Air Pressure History Bar Chart
1. The bar graph shows in hPa (Hekto Pascal) the recorded air pressure over the past 12-hours.
2. The horizontal axis shows the hours at increments of -12 hours, -9
hours, -6 hours, -3 hours, and 0 hours (current).
3. The vertical axis is set by hPa: the “0” on this axis represents the
current hPa, and + or - 1,3,5, or 7 shows (in hPa) how high or low
the past air pressure was as compared to the current one.
4. The “0” on the v ertical axis indicates the current air pressure value.
5. The “0h” on the horizontal axis indicates the current hour, thus the
current air pressure also.
6. Each bar on the bar graph represents a value of 0.03 hPa, and
each bar also has a corresponding value on the verticle axis.
7. Air pressure trends can be determined by simply glancing at the
bar graph.
a. If the bars are rising (higher on the right than the left) then the
air pressure has a rising trend, and the weather should improve.
b. If the bars are dropping (lower on the right than the left) then the
air pressure has a falling trend, and the weather should worsen.
8. Multiply the two values to find past air pressure (note the + or - sign
of values on the verticle axis); i.e. 0.03 hPa x 3 = 0.09 hPa, now
add this value to the air pressure (in LCD 4) to evaluate what past
air pressures have been.
9. The bar chart will constantly scroll to avoid burnout of the LCD.
3. These arrows reflect current changes in the air pressure.
4. An arrow pointing up indicates that the air pressure is increasing
and the weather is expected to improve or remain good.
5. An arrow pointing down indicates that the air pressure is decreasing and the weather is expected to become worse or remain poor.
6. No arrow means the pressure is stable.

MOUNTING
Note:
Before permanently mounting, ensure that the indoor weather
station is able to receive signals from the transmitters and WWVB signal at the desired location. To achieve a tr ue temperature reading,
avoid mounting the remote temperature sensor (or any sensor) where
direct sunlight can reach the remote sensor. We recommend that you
mount the remote sensor on a North-facing wall or under an eve. The
sending range of the remote temperature sensor is 330-ft (100m) however obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can
reduce the range. Place all units in their desired location, and wait
approximately 15 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that
there is proper reception. If the indoor weather station loses the signal
from the remote sensor, it will display the last temperature reading for
15 minutes. After 15 minutes of not receiving any signals, the remote
temperature will display “- -.-”.
A. Mounting the Remote Temperature Sensor
The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:
• with the use of screws
• using the adhesive tape
1. MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
a. Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temper ature sensor .
b. Place the mounting bracket over the desired location.
c. Through the three screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting
surface with a pencil.
d. Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that
the screws are flush with the bracket.
e. Insert the remote temperature sensor into the bracket.
2. MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
a. With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mount-
ing bracket and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The
mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
b. Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.
c. Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mount-
ing bracket.
d. Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape.
e. Position the remote temperature sensor in the desired location, en-
suring that the indoor weather station can receive the signal.
B. Mounting the WS-7394U Indoor Weather Station
The indoor weather station can be mounted in two ways:
• with the table stand
• on the wall with the use of a wall hanging screw (not included)
1. USING THE TABLE STAND
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.
2. WALL MOUNTING
a. Remove the table-stand. To do this, pull down on the stand from
the rear and rotate forward.
b. Fix a screw (not included) into the desired wall, leaving approxi-
mately 3/16 of an inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
c. Place the indoor weather station onto the screw using the hanging
hole on the backside.
d. Gently pull the indoor weather station down to lock the screw into
place.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
A. Extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock should be avoided to
prevent damage to the units.
B. Clean displays and units with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use sol-
vents or scouring agents; they may mark the displays and casings.
C. Do not submerge in water.
D. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to av oid leakage and

TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Set the LCD contrast to a higher level.
2) Replace batteries.
Problem: No outdoor temperature/humidity is displayed.
Solution:
1) Remove all batteries, reinsert into the 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) No other interfering sources are being used (such as computer
monitors, TV sets, headphones, or speakers) in the vicinity. The
signal travels in a straight line, an electrical source near that “line”
may cause interference.

Problem: Temperature, humidity, or air pressure is incorrect.
Solution:
1) Check/Replace batteries.
2) If multiple remote sensors are in use, check location with corresponding “boxed numbers.”
3) Move away from sources of heat/cold.
4) Adjust relative air pressure to a value from a reliable source (TV
radio, etc.).
5) The indoor weather station and remote sensors are calibrated at
the factory. If there is a consistent problem, please call La Crosse
Technology.
Problem: “- -” in humidity display.
Solution:
1) Humidity is below 1% or above 99%.
2) TX3U or TX3UP is used for remote temperature.
Problem: WWVB time and date will not set or update
Solution:
1) Wait until overnight for signal to be received
2) Move indoor weather station away from sources of electricity
3) Place indoor weather station in window facing Colorado
4) The first reception is most difficult, as the indoor weather station
needs five continual minutes of clear signal reception. After the
initial time/date set, the indoor weather station only requires one
full minute of clear reception each night.
