  If your La Crosse Technology Portable Radio isn't displaying the outdoor temperature: * Try removing all batteries and reinserting them, starting with the sender unit first, then the display unit. * Ensure the remote sender is placed closer to the display. * Make sure all batteries are new. * Position the Remote Control Sender and Weather Station so that the signal path doesn't go through more than two or three walls.

Why temperatures do not match on La Crosse Technology WS-7159U Portable Radio?

  Michelle HarveyAug 14, 2025
  Temperature readings may vary slightly between units placed next to each other because each temperature sensor is manufactured to be accurate to within 1 degree plus or minus under normal conditions, so two sensors could differ by as much as 2 degrees. Also, the sensors are designed for different working environments, which can exaggerate the difference.
