The La Crosse Technology Color Weather Forecast Station is a comprehensive device designed to provide users with detailed weather information and timekeeping functions. It features a vibrant color LCD display that presents various data points in an easy-to-read format, making it a practical addition to any home or office.
The primary function of this weather station is to offer a local weather forecast, outdoor and indoor temperature and humidity readings, and precise time and date information. It utilizes an outdoor sensor to collect external environmental data, which is then wirelessly transmitted to the main display unit. The station's "Intelligent Weather Forecast" feature learns over time, using barometric pressure changes to predict weather conditions for the next 12 hours with an accuracy of 70-75%. This learning process typically takes 7-10 days for calibration.
The display unit features a clear layout with dedicated sections for forecast, outdoor conditions, and indoor conditions.
Initial setup involves powering up the outdoor sensor with 2-AA batteries and plugging the power cable into the display. Optional 3-AA batteries can be inserted into the weather station for backup. Basic settings like time, date, time zone, and temperature units (°F/°C) are configured through a step-by-step menu accessed by holding the SET button. The outdoor sensor should be placed in a shaded location after 5 minutes of power-up, ideally on a north-facing wall, under an eave, or on a deck rail, mounted vertically to drain moisture. The maximum wireless transmission range for the sensor is over 300 feet in open air, without walls or floors obstructing the signal. For optimal Atomic time reception, the display should be oriented with the front or back facing Ft. Collins, Colorado, and placed at least 6 feet away from other electronics.
The La Crosse Technology Color Weather Forecast Station is designed for user-friendliness and provides a wealth of environmental data to help users stay informed about their local weather and indoor conditions.
