FAQS

Looking to mount this unit flat on a wall. Wtith power cord attached, would this unit sit flush against the wall?

Yes, it can be wall mounted and sit flush against the wall even with the cord attached.

Why does my webcam have a green light?

The green light on the webcam indicates that the webcam is connected to your computer.

Why does my webcam have a red light?

The red light on the webcam indicates that the camera is in use by an application.

Why can’t I see myself in the video call?

Make sure that you are using a supported operating system. For more information, see “Supported Operating Systems” on page 3.

Why can’t I hear audio when I am using video calling?

Make sure that you are using a supported operating system. For more information, see “Supported Operating Systems” on page 3.

Why doesn’t outside temp register? Inside temp is working I also put in brand new batteries?

Check that your batteries are charged to 1.5. If you don’t have a way (voltage meter) to check, try brand new batteries that are new off the store shelf. For the sync-up process, the batteries must be 1.5 or better. It’s the #1 problem we see.

Does it come with the cat?

No cat included, but it is a great product.

where does the display show daily min/max records?

If you press the temperature button on top of unit it will display the hi-lo info on the front display.

What is the purpose of the Mount that you can order for an extra charge? Is it a protective enclosure or do you need it to mount the sensor to a wall?

First, don’t mount the sensor on the outside wall of your house. Heat exchange from inside will skew the readings. If you’re speaking of
the weather shield, you don’t need it, but the sensor is not waterproof, so it’s a good idea. It will mount to a pole, flat surface, etc. Try to
mount it in a shaded area. Mine is on the north side of a power pole in my yard.

does it track chill hours?

No, but if it did it wouldn’t do it accurately anyhow. The outside temp was always off 20 degrees, it has never worked, La Crosse support was useless and consequently, it sits on a bureau in my bedroom and acts as my night light. The internal temperature is always the same.

Have a ceiling projector?

No it dosn’t have a ceiling projector

What is the MHz frequency of this forecast station?

433 MHz

Does it give dew point?

YES, and have found to be very close to local TV weather reports. Cycle through button on top (Temp button) & will get day High Temp, Day low temp, Heat Index, then comes DEW POINT! Hope this helps.

Why does this turn off? I bought 2 of these and both arent visible after I set them. Need to stay lit.

Will only stay lit plugged in. Will not stay lit on battery power.

Does this model have the option to display seconds?

No, no seconds display.
