Wow ! I mentioned to one of my children about a Weather Station I wanted for Fathers Day , my loving caring daughter went a step better and got me this upgraded better one then I picked as a surprise. I did get concerned that setting it up and maintaining it might be too complicated for my 57 year old Technologically challenged abilities but watching this video has changed my mind and now I’m excited to getting it operational
I followed your instruction on the reset, and it worked perfectly!!! Thank you. We have had this unit for about 2 years now and it always operates flawlessly. Recently the sensor stopped transmitting, or the unit quit receiving, not sure which. I thought maybe the rain finally got to the sensor, or the cold weather we recently had drained the life from it. So I ordered a different unit to replace it. THEN~~~I seen your video, and now my old unit is back up and working beautifully...thanks!!! Sending the new unit back to Amazon...
I bought this for my 82 year old Dad. He had a hard time setting it up, and I couldn't get the station to read the outdoor sensor, but this video helped so much and now it's up and working. He loves it, but my Mom is still yelling at me for "wasting my money", lol.
Our apologies for any trouble getting the station up and running, but we are certainly happy this video was able to help. Should you or your dad ever need any further assistance, please feel free to message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. We are always here to help and truly hope your father enjoys his now working "waste of money" 😉.
I had a problem with my unit and sent an email and got a response that I would be contacted. I missed the email and was contacted by phone after posting on this site. I am very happy that a replacement is on the way. Excellent customer service experience, thank you 🤩
I been reading through the comments here to this video,, and I see replies from the company them all! That really shows me they are a great company! And this video helped me so much more than the limited instruction sheet! Thank you!
Thank you for the very kind words. We certainly do care about our customers and are always happy to help in any way we can. We’re very glad you found this video useful. 😊
our original "transmitter" broke on a windy day so I ordered another complete system not knowing if the transmitter was programmed to each base. The new system base would not pick up the transmitter and now I found that I had to connect it with the button. didn't have to do it with the old one. THANKS for helping. My husband plugged in the old base, which worked fine even after 5+yrs, and discovered it easily picked up the new transmitter without having to touch the button on it. so he plans on using it in his "mancave"
Hey Sheila, sorry for the trouble. We're happy to hear you were able to get thing worked out though! If you should have questions in the future, we are here to help. 😊
Saw and loved this weather station at my friend's camp in Maine. Just got mine and watched the thorough video . Hoping for many years of accurate weather information from this product.
This was a great video. The instruction sheet in the box was so limited that I almost sent the unit back. However, I called the help line and learned about their CZcams videos. This guy did a fantastic job and the organization of the video with an index allowing you to go right to the section you need is very helpful.
We're happy we could help! As for the manual, sorry to hear that; quite unusual. For reference, you can always find your full manual and FAQ documents on our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/c85845v4#support
Thank you, it is an amazing video! From the beginning I bought this device I think it is basic, but It is a really intellectual station, a lot of features, forecasts and more! Highly recommend!
just got this and love it. came with two displays and both of them have exact same temp and humid readings for in and outdoor so pleased with the accuracy
I bought the C85845 on January 10, 2017. Within two weeks I began getting lines on the left side instead of numbers. I have tried doing the basic restart a number of times. It works for a while, and then the lines return. It will work for a couple hours and then blank out for a couple hours. I thought it might be the sensor so I ordered a new TX141TH-BV2. It arrived Monday, April 3rd. I set the display and sensor up like a new set and have used the basic restart three times in the 5 days since I received the new sensor. As I mentioned, the unit worked for most of two weeks before it started misfiring. I have put sensors in the same spot before, with success, so I don't think it's a problem with the location of the sensor. For the record, when I started typing, the outside temp and humidity were displaying perfectly. Now, as I finish, the lines are back. Thanks for your time and help.
After a few efforts I managed to find a spot where the sensor works consistently. Now, hopefully, my last question for you. Have people had good success using the 925-1418 Sensor Protection Shield? Will the signal still get through on a consistent basis?
Since I live in an apartment building my options are limited. The spot that offers a consistent signal doesn't offer an eave. So for about 3 hours a day my sensor is in indirect sunlight that affects the sensor by 10-12 degrees. I ordered a weather shield. Wish me luck!
This is the best demonstration video I have ever seen. It is succinct and simple to understand. I had no more questions once the video was complete. I love this weather station now that I know what I'm doing.
Thanks for the feedback, Rebecca! We are truly happy the video was able to answer your questions, but are always here to help if you should need us in the future. 😊
Hey Greg I came across your weather station on Amazon I like the fact it has atomic time I thought it was a great price so we're going to order it to have it for our home thank you for sharing this video soon as I saw lacrosse technology I wanted to actually see it work so here I am I typed in Lacrosse technology on CZcams and I found you hey man happy New year thanks for a great product
Hi Paulette, our apologies for the trouble. Assuming you own the C85845 model featured in this video, this is actually covered starting at the 3:52 mark. You can also find more specifics in the full product manual here: bit.ly/3aR7CRF
Good video. Thanks. Note that on the back of the station there is a stand that folds out. This is not shown in the video and it's not in the written instructions.
Brought outdoor unit inside, set it next to main unit. After a 2 hr time period, the outdoor unit reads 71 degrees, which is the actual room temp. The main unit will still show between 83-85 degrees.
I really like this product, period! I do however wish the alerts were different. I like the alerts but do not want an audible alert. I wish the area that shows an alert such as Hi would blink, and reset every 24 hours. If the low alert for 32F goes off at 2:00 AM, I do not want an audible alert to wake me up. But I do want it to blink, so I can know in the morning to be aware of ice when walking/driving that morning or day. And Second, I would like to eliminate the yellow triangle with an exclamation point indicating something is wrong that needs attention. I would like it replaced with a dash instead if you choose not to alert on that condition. If alert(s) are active, allow hitting the alerts button to stop the flashing if that is a concern for anybody. Anyway - this is a very useful product. Please make me my own custom version that does the above and send it to me... I put 3 dots because I did not know how to insert the triangle alert sign ...
Hey Ron, we are thrilled that you're liking your new weather station and appreciate the feedback. Will be sure to pass these suggestions along to our R & D department for further consideration on new systems. But since your comments revolved around alerts, we do want to mention our La Crosse View WiFi-Connected line of products. Many of these items offer similar display alert functions (but without the large alert triagles for those not set) as well as the option for you to set up custom push notification alerts on your mobile device(s). If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, see our page here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view for more information.
Great video. Thank you. Does the screen turn off after ten minutes so you can't tell the time at night unless you activate the screen every ten minutes?
As described at the 14:38 timestamp in this video, as long as you're using the provided power cord, the backlight will remain on whichever brightness level you leave it at using the SNOOZE/BACKLIGHT button. Using only batteries will allow the LCD to come on at full brightness for 10 seconds at a time.
Hey Denise, we're glad you found this video helpful and apologize for the lack of batteries. Many items that were originally sold in stores did indeed come with all required batteries. Unfortunately, these are often removed for online sales as a request from our shipping partners to avoid any leakage and damaged packages.

@@lacrossetechnology thank you for your quick reply. I like the product very much and understand the possible shipping issue, I won’t require any further assistance. Thank you again.
Hey I just got this station as a gift, and I'm setting up the station with the clock settings, I see their are settings for all zones except for AZ specific for DST. Do I just set it to MST with DST off or not?
Hey John, yes, that would be correct. Assuming your area does not follow Daylight Saving Time, you will want to keep the DST setting set to OFF and then just be sure to set the station to your correct time zone (which we assume is MST). 😊
These units can only predict strong weather systems - strong heavy rain, strong storms. Only strong systems will cause a drop in the atmospheric pressure. A normal rain, snow, cloudy weather will not change the atmospheric pressure so these units will not indicate bad weather. Also, strong winds will cause the atmospheric pressure to fluctuate, again these units will not be helpful for this scenario. In other words, other than for strong weather systems, these units are simply an exterior thermometer.
This is often true for areas at higher elevation, which we reference in our other video here: bit.ly/forecast_vid -- If you find the station's icons not changing accurately enough for your location, we suggest looking into our Wi-Fi Weather Station lineup, which use internet forecast data from AccuWeather.

My C85845 just stopped working one day. Nothing on the display, completely dead and blank. even with new batteries and AC adapter as power source. Also changed out sensor batteries and it shows red light as functional but the station is still totally blank so not an issue of the two not detecting each other.
This is quite strange. Please send this message and your information to our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ and we'll work to figure out a solution. Sorry for this inconvenience.
I recently purchased Model C85845 with Transmitter No. TX141TH-Bv2. This unit has had issues from day one. The instructional video is most helpful however performing a basic restart twice - the unit does not provide outdoor information - only dashes. Before the first restart, the outdoor temps were sporadic - however now the outdoor dashes are constant. I am ready to return this as it must be defective. Very disappointing...
Why does it need to be in a well shaded area? I find when it's in the shade, I get a reading that's much cooler than or actually is outside. Yesterday it was 107 degrees but my weather station was at 84 because I've got the sensor in an alcove by the front door.
In most cases, direct sunlight will cause inflated outdoor temperature readings. Our other video here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings will walk you through how to test the sensor's accuracy.
I am confused about the atomic time icon. Is the tower supposed to always show? It went away on my unit. But the video made it seem like it was supposed to stay on and not blink when it connected. ??
My back light will not stay on! The station is plugged in, everything else is working properly...I have pushed the plug it in as far as I can - as was suggested by another on this forum who was addressing a similar complaint to mine. I don't want this weather station if I have to walk over and push the button every time I need to see the outside temperature. I bought it for the bright, attractive display, that could easily been seen from a distance. Help me, please!
Hey Cara, we're truly sorry for the trouble with your backlight. Just to confirm, have you by chance tried the display using a different power outlet? We've had some customers in the past find that the one they were using was actually not working or was controlled by a switch. If you have, and the display does not stay lit up, you may need a new power cord. In this situation, we ask that you please reach out to our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport -- they will be more than happy to help get this corrected. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
What an impressive turn around response time, La Crosse! Yes, the station was plugged into a power strip with a switch. The switch was on, but the station back light wouldn't stay on. When I moved the station to a wall outlet, it lit up like Christmas for me. Your solution worked, and I am a happy camper, now. I hope others with the same issue see this solution. La Crosse, you've got it going on for customer service. Thumbs up!
This is a really good weather station as long as you don't mind replacing the remote sensor batteries every two days. If you upgrade to lithium batteries you can get thee days before replacement. And don't bother contacting customer service, they don't answer the phone.
I got mine set fine but it changes the display from temp and time to alarm every 10 seconds, its really annoying. I have the alarm off but it keeps switching back and forth. I want it to just show the time and temps like in the videos. I dont even use the alarm feature but it keeps showing alarm 12:00 I even reset it and took the batteries out but doesnt stop.
Hey Jason, we're sorry for the display trouble. For product specific support, please message our team here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport, or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page. We'd love to help get this resolved.
Of course! Our selection of Battery-Powered Stations here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/standard-battery-stations offer many of the same benefits as the C85845 model featured in this video, just without the color LCD. Combining this with a station that shows a seconds readout, our suggestion would be the 308-1451V2 Fisherman Forecast Station: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/308-1451v2
If the values are indeed stuck on the display, we'd suggest performing a basic restart as covered at the 21:01 mark in this video. Be sure to us a new set of regular alkaline batteries in your outdoor sensors for best results. If these steps still do not resolve the issue, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport.

My indoor temp is only right after midnight - when I awake in the morning, it shows as 69 degrees indoor, when the temp is actually 69 - within an hour it says 85......but the temp is still 69...........
Mine is only displaying dashes for the outside temperature. So I followed your instructions here to reset it removing the batteries from the transmitter first, the unit second and then unplugging the unit and pressed the same button you did in the video 20 times, waited 15 minutes and reinserted the batteries into the outdoor sensor, then the unit and plugged it in.... NOTHING. No OUTDOOR temperature. Ugh!!!! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. What else can I do?
Assuming you're using a new set of regular alkaline batteries in the sensor, these steps should have resolved the issue. A new outdoor sensor will likely be the fix at this point. For assistance with this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page.

@@lacrossetechnology thank you for the reply. Yes, we did put brand new alkaline batteries in the sensor and the unit itself. It finally just started working out of the blue... like 4 or 5 days after I wrote this to you. But at least it's working. :)
Nice video i luv my unit ………but. I even bought a new sensor unit and i still have dashes. I’t still will not give me the outside temp Inside yes. I have gone thought this setup numerous times …..

I just received my weather station and went through the proper steps for setup and the outdoor sensor will not find the weather station. I have tried doing a restart and also tried holding the temp button but they will not connect led light on sensor is blinking when I put batteries in . please help!!! the atomic time will not connect either.
Hey Kristal, we are truly sorry for the outdoor sensor trouble. In addition to the steps at the 21:01 timestamp in this video, your sensor has a small TX button located above the batteries. Press this after you have the power restored to both the sensor and display. This should force a transmission and connect your sensor almost instantly. If it does not, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for assistance in getting you a replacement. In regard to your Atomic Time feature, moving your station near a window, away from other electronics, and having the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO will help increase its chances of catching this signal and having it adjust your time automatically (typically happens within 3-5 nights). If you find yourself in a predicament where the time hasn’t adjusted automatically, it may be best to make sure to have your settings adjusted correctly but to also set the clock manually for the time being. This will allow the clock to remain at the correct time even if the WWVB signal is picked up in the future. More about how this signal works can be found here: bit.ly/AtomicTime Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the WWVB signal will reach all locations. For instance, if you live in a valley, are surrounded by buildings, or have other strong radio signals nearby, these can all cause interference, which can delay or even fully block this radio signal from reaching your station. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
We got one of these for Christmas (from Costco, of course) and would like to understand why the 'temperature trend' icons never seems to illuminate even though the temps obviously do change. What is/isn't happening and how do we get them to operate? Thank you.
Once you set an alert for certain temperatures, what actually happens when the temperature reaches that level? Is there a beep or something that displays?
Great question! When an armed alert value is reached, the alert icon will flash and the station will beep 5 times every minute, or until the value is out of the alert range. You can press any button to stop the alert from sounding and the alert icon will continue to flash while alert value is in alert range. More on this and other features can be found in your full manual here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/c/8/c85845v3_web_120518.pdf
Oh no!! For assistance, please message our support staff here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport, or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page.
Assuming you own the C85845 model featured in this video, please try moving the outdoor sensor to a fully shaded location for best results. A north-facing wall under an eave is often a great spot as it offers additional protection from direct weather elements. Our other video here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings goes over how to test the sensor's accuracy and offers additional placement suggestions.
Hey Karen, our apologies for any trouble. Most of our weather stations will have built-in notches for wall-mounting purposes. These are often found directly on the pulldown stand as triangle cutouts.

Bought one from Costco. Placed the indoor and outdoor units side by side to compare. After stabilizing for a few hours, the readings are 2-3 degrees different in temperature and 3-4% in humidity. Is it in your tolerance range?
Why can you not connect this to an unsecured network? And before anyone says just make a password I can’t, I’m using it on my boat at my marina using the same guest network 2.4 GHz I use for my boat

Forecast picture does not seem accurate . It has been in the 20 to 30 degree range and full cloud cover for the last 3 days and it has been showing the full sun image ?
Hey Jim, our apologies for any trouble. As noted at the 17:05 mark in this video, The calculations for this station’s weather icons are based on its internal barometric pressure reading. Keep in mind, these icons are designed to display a prediction of your weather to come within the next 6-12 hours, not necessarily your current conditions. And because the weather can be a hard thing to predict, even for professionals, we cannot claim these to be 100% accurate. For most of our stations, these predictions fall between 60% and 80% accuracy after the first ten days from the initial startup. If you're still within these first 10 days, the weather icon calculations may not be adjusted to your location just yet. Over time, these should become more accurate. One other thing to note, if you're located in an area that is above 6200ft elevation, these icons will likely not act correctly. If you fall in this category, please reach out to us here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. From there, we'd love to help in any way we can.

I got the la crosse wireless color wether station as a gift. I did everything like it’s says an the outdoor temp doesn’t show. The remote sensor an the main unit has been setting for at least 4 hours. Does the remote have to be outside for it to read?
Hey Janice, we are truly sorry for the trouble. Our first suggestion would be to try the Basic Restart steps included at the 21:01 mark in this video, using a new set of regular alkaline batteries.

We got this weather station and we really like it. We've tested it against other thermometers, and it seems to be accurate within a degree or so. But, I was under the impression that I could receive signals from 3 different remote sensors. Is that right?
Hi Lily, we're happy to hear that you're enjoying your new weather station! Unfortunately, the C85845 model featured in this video does not allow for the addition of add-on sensors. If this is a "must have" feature, we'd be happy to pass along some suggestions to other models that do allow for this. Just let us know. :)
Have 3 of these already working great. Just set up 4th in separate area of our home. Display BLINKS on/off intermittently. To be clear, it turns on and off without being touched but seemingly with no pattern...just randomly. I tried swapping batteries, different outlet, etc. Any suggestions?

My unit is about a month old and I seem to be having a problem with the sensor. The other day we experienced a nor'easter with high winds and heavy rain. Humidity was 99%. The next two days were sunny and dry, yet humidity is still at 99%. I took down the sensor, put in new batteries (I used the recommended cold weather batteries), reset everything, got a strong signal and put it back outside. Although it has been cold and dry overnight and into the morning, it is still reading 99% humidity. The temp seems fine. I have had the señor inside for three hours and although the indoor humidity is 40%, the outdoor is stuck on 99%. You suggestions, please?
Sounds like the sensor may have gotten a bit too wet and a replacement may be needed. For further help with this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport.

I just bought this “weather station” a week ago and finally today I installed it... but guess what? Both the “set” & “temp” buttons don’t work... I press and hold them and nothing happens... all the other buttons work as expected and I’ve set up the alarm without a problems as well as alerts... without those two buttons, I’ve a clock that doesn’t tell the time nor the date... so it sits as a paperweight!
Hi Ronald, we are truly sorry to hear this and would be happy to issue a replacement. If you haven't done so already, please contact our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ -- sorry again for this inconvenience.
My display is hard to read at any distances. I can read it find up close but once I start moving away from the display it becomes harder to read. When I'm 8-10 feet away can't even read it. I have it plug in and the display on bright. Is there something I can do to make it brighter or do you think it's defected?
All current routers will have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band, as numerous smarthome devices use this. However, we do apologize for any confusion as the C85845 model weather station featured in this video does not offer any Wi-Fi connection ability. A current list of Wi-Fi connected options can be found here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/complete-systems
Ive been having troubles setting up my station as well. It worked well initially. But not now. Tried many times to connect. Pressed the - and + sign and it starts to blink but not rapidly. Don’t know what else to do.
Hey Daniel, it sounds like you are referencing one of our WiFi-connected stations (these are different from the C85845 model shown in this video).

Moving the station away from other electronics and near a window with the front or back of it facing Fort Collins, CO can help it receive the WWVB Atomic Time Signal. Depending on your location, it is not abnormal for the signal to take multiple days to be received or go in and out over time. If you need further assistance, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page.
Hey Robert, our apologies for the trouble. As suggested in our video on this topic here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings -- we'd first recommend trying a side by side test with the sensor next to your indoor display to compare readings. If the sensor is reading correctly after the two hours next to the display, then we'd suggest looking for possible changes near the outside location where the sensor was mounted. If you need further assistance after this test, please send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. Or alternatively, you can message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport 😊
I have the c85845v3. I followed the manual, but decided to skip the step for the outdoor sensor for now. Will be installing it in the next few days. But I noticed the outdoor side was being populated. Not only was it displaying, but it was displaying pretty accurately. I checked if the sensor came pre installed with batteries but it didn't. Where is it getting this reading from? Can it pick up wifi? Bluetooth? Signal waves? Someone else's outdoor sensor?
Our apologies for the confusion. If you are getting data without batteries in your outdoor sensor, this almost surely means your display has picked up the radio transmission from a neighboring sensor. Assuming the data is accurate, we do have many users who choose to share the sensor info with their neighbors. Keeping other Temp/Humidity sensors as backups or using them in other areas of their home (though the C85845 models specifically do not offer multiple sensor channels). If you prefer to use your own sensor's data, please use the following steps to get that sensor cynced with your display. 1. Bring your outdoor sensor inside next to the display and remove all batteries and power from both your sensor and display. 2. Press any button on the display at least 25 times and leave the two parts sitting without power for at least a few minutes. 3. Install a new set of regular alkaline batteries into the outdoor sensor and keep it near the display with the battery cover off. 4. Power the display back up using the power cord and/or a new set of regular alkaline batteries. After powering on, quickly move to step 5 to prevent the display from picking up another sensor signal. 5. On the sensor there should be a small TX button located just above the batteries, press this button to force a transmission signal. In most cases, this should connect the sensor to your display almost instantly. If you are still having trouble after this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Sorry again for any inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology Follow up question. Does it desync the other weather station base? In other words, can two bases connect to the same outdoor sensor at the same time?
@@naryneitred Yes, as long as each station is compatible with the same outdoor sensor, you can have any number of displays receive a single sensor's radio signal.
Thanks for reaching out to us Jack. The C85845v3 is the third variation C85845. Compared to the previous models, the V3 has a new IC chip and the sensor is backwards compatible. If you have any more questions please let us know.
The dashboard on the model I just purchased looks nothing like the dashboard in this video. Is there any chance an updated version of this video is available? In-box instruction manual is anemic at best, and the system is not intuitive to navigate thru.
Hey Ian, our sincere apologies for the trouble setting up your weather station. If you could pass along the model number of your specific station (printed on the back of the main display, typically near our logo), we'd be more than happy to provide any additional support links available.
Hey Ken, our apologies for not covering wall mounting in the video, but on the backside of the case there are two triangle holes (shown at the 22:24 mark) designed for this purpose. Simply close the rear stand and use a pair of nails, screws, or even push pins to hang the display on a wall using the trangle cutouts on the back.
My atomic clock icon flashes to search but never seems to stay on. My time has had several errors in the past few weeks. I reset the time manually but the atomic time does not work
Hi Sue, if your clock is having trouble keeping time correctly, we'd first suggest to remove all power from the display (batteries and power cord), press any of its buttons at least 25 times, and then leave it sit without power for at least 2 hours. After this time, power the display back up by plugging the power cord into your outlet first, then into your display. Be sure also to use a new set of regular alkaline batteries for backup purposes. After these steps, your unit should function as new, with the station performing its initial search for the WWVB reception. Moving your display near a window, away from other electronics, and having the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO will help increase its chances of catching this signal and having it adjust your time automatically (typically happens within 3-5 nights). If you find yourself in a predicament where the time hasn’t adjusted automatically, it may be best to make sure to have your settings adjusted correctly, but to also set the clock manually for the time being. This will allow the clock to remain at the correct time even if the WWVB signal is picked up in the future. More about how this signal works can be found here: bit.ly/AtomicTime Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the WWVB signal will reach all locations. For instance, if you live in a valley, are surrounded by buildings, or have other strong radio signals nearby, these can all cause interference, which can delay or even fully block this radio signal from reaching your weather station. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience. If you continue to have trouble with the time being incorrect, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page.
The one I have took about an hour to pair with the base station the very first time I opened it out of the box. I'm now changing the batteries to the temp/humidity sensor and it no longer wants to pair
We're truly sorry to hear that, this is highly unusual. If you haven't tried the Basic Restart steps covered at the 21:01 mark in this video, please do so to try and reestablish a connection. Also, be sure to use new reputable alkaline batteries in both the display and outdoor sensor, other battery types can sometimes have transmission/reception problems. If these steps still do not resolve the issue, you will likely need a new sensor. To help with this, please send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. Or alternatively, you can message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport -- Sorry again for the inconvenience, we look forward to helping get this corrected.
Hi - I purchased the C85845 on around Dec. 10th 2017 as a gift for my husband. One week later we began getting dash lines on the left side instead of showing the outside temp. We have tried doing the restart a number of times. It works for a while, and then the dash lines return. It works for a few hours and then it shows the dash lines again. We also have tried to press the restart in the sensor but it doesn't seem to help. The unit will work for a while then does the above again. Also the weather icons are not showing properly....EX: when it is sunny outside we get rain/snow icons showing (not the sun icon) or it shows the storm icon. Also the tower icon (atomic) does not stay is it suppose too. The video says it will?? If there is no solution to the problems we are having what can be done? Thank you in advance!!! Linda
Hey Val, as mentioned in the video, battery power only will allow the display to only remain on for 10 seconds at a time. Use of the provided power cord is required for a constant backlight. Please be sure both ends are securely plugged in and the outlet used is in working order.
My weather station seems to be malfunctioning. Indoor temp is displayed but no outdoor information. I changed batteries in outdoor module but still nothing. Is it broken or am I missin* something. Don’t see anything in manuals
Hi Steve, our apologies for the trouble. We'd first recommend performing a basic restart covered in this video at the 21:01 mark. In addition to these steps, your sensor has a small TX button located above the batteries. Press this after you have the power restored to both the sensor and display. This should force a transmission and connect your sensor almost instantly. Be sure also to use new regular alkaline batteries from the same package. Other better types should be avoided. If this still doesn't work, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
I got a weather station made by La Crosse and it was the biggest piece of junk I ever saw. the wind meter never got above 10 MPH , the rain gauge never worked , and the temperature gauge was off by 2-3 degrees . When I asked them about the temp being off , they said that was normal , I told them if I wanted to know the about temperature I would just guess at it , I threw the mess away , 100 dollars shot .
I am not happy with this model. The sensor doesn't flash, no matter how many times I press that small button (batteries are brand new). The few times I had it working it stops syncing a day later. By the way, I'm in Seattle and it rains a lot. I built a cover for this sensor to avoid water but it continues stop syncing. I even placed it in a small sandwich bag to protect it from the rain, but it stops working. Perhaps this sensor needs to be replaced? This item was purchased last November at Costco.

Sorry for the trouble! Let's try a few steps to see if we can get this corrected: 1. Remove all power from your display. Including batteries and unplugging the power cord from both your wall and from your display. 2. Press any button on the display at least 25 times and leave it sitting without power for at least two hours. 3. Power the display back up by plugging the power cord into your outlet first, then into your display. If your model uses AA or AAA batteries, be sure to install a new set of alkaline batteries, other battery types should be avoided.

Hey George, great question! Unfortunately, our current C85845 lineup will only support data from one wireless sensor. Newer models, like our S77925v2: bit.ly/s77925v2, V11: bit.ly/v11_station, and V15: bit.ly/v15_station will all support add-on temperature/humidity sensors as well as rain gauges or more. For help deciding and/or figuring out which sensors to purchase, feel free to reach out to our store directly at 608-785-7939 or via email at: store@lacrossetechnology.com
Hey Bart, sorry for the confusion. These OFF Icons are simply used to indicate that you have no temperature alerts set. This is covered more in-depth at the 19:00 mark in this video and within your full manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/C85845V4#support
Hey Louis, great question, sorry we didn't cover this in the video. When an alert value is reached, the alert icon will flash and the station will beep 5 times each minute until out of the alert range. You can press any button on the display to turn the beeping off, but the icon will continue to flash until out of that alert range. More on this and other items can be found in your full manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/C85845V4#support
Do I have this correct? I can use battery power only for the display, but I have to push a button to get 10 seconds of display time. ( Is there a similar offering where batteries power the display constantly? I guess I didn't shop closely...when it said 'wireless', I errantly assumed no power cord, either.
Hey Steve, our apologies for the confusion, but yes, that is correct. The "wireless" is in reference to the outdoor sensor. All of our current color LCD displays will require a power cord for a constant backlight. For a truly wireless experience, one of our non-color display models would be your best bet, as these do not require a power cord. Something like our 308-1417V2, WS-9250U-IT, or 328-96087 may be a good completely wireless alternative to our C85845 model featured in this video. You can find these, and other options on our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/weather-stations -- Sorry again for any inconvenience, please let us know if you have any further questions.
Hey Keith, the C85845 station can run on batteries; however, the LCD backlight will only come on for 10 seconds after a button push. We recommend using the provided power cord for best results and a constant backlight. The batteries are meant more as a backup option should your power go out.
Hello there, I am very happy with your product after replacing our broken sensor with the one you mailed us. It is working great. So far our sensor stays in sync with our device. Question for you: Can one sensor connect to two C85845 devices? If that's the case, we would like to purchase one C85845 device, how can we do this? Thank you
That's great!! Checking other models, can you tell me if model S88907 www.lacrossetechnology.com/s88907 would work/connect with the sensor that came with C85845?
Does the support that keeps the unit click into place? I don’t want to break the support if there is not a position that locks the support arm in place. Thanks.
Hey John, this may actually depend on the model you own. Our newer stations will typically feature a friction controlled stand that will allow you leave the display sit in almost any position without needing to lock in place. If your display is sitting up on its own without a "click/lock" this is likely the stand your model has. Our older units did have various locking points that clicked into place. But as long as it's sitting up and stable on your countertop, you should be just fine. 😊
NOTE: The original C85845 model did come with batteries in the box. However, subsequent versions of this weather station will not come with batteries provided. We apologize for any inconvenience.
My lacrosse temp station has been working great for years. Only challenge is to reset after battery is changed

Wow ! I mentioned to one of my children about a Weather Station I wanted for Fathers Day , my loving caring daughter went a step better and got me this upgraded better one then I picked as a surprise. I did get concerned that setting it up and maintaining it might be too complicated for my 57 year old Technologically challenged abilities but watching this video has changed my mind and now I’m excited to getting it operational
We are thrilled to hear this, Craig! If you should ever have any questions, please just let us know. 😊
I followed your instruction on the reset, and it worked perfectly!!! Thank you. We have had this unit for about 2 years now and it always operates flawlessly. Recently the sensor stopped transmitting, or the unit quit receiving, not sure which. I thought maybe the rain finally got to the sensor, or the cold weather we recently had drained the life from it. So I ordered a different unit to replace it. THEN~~~I seen your video, and now my old unit is back up and working beautifully...thanks!!! Sending the new unit back to Amazon...
I bought this for my 82 year old Dad. He had a hard time setting it up, and I couldn't get the station to read the outdoor sensor, but this video helped so much and now it's up and working. He loves it, but my Mom is still yelling at me for "wasting my money", lol.
Our apologies for any trouble getting the station up and running, but we are certainly happy this video was able to help.

Sounds like instead of a weather station, your dad is ready for the glue factory. Can't even figure this out? Are you serious?
I had a problem with my unit and sent an email and got a response that I would be contacted. I missed the email and was contacted by phone after posting on this site. I am very happy that a replacement is on the way. Excellent customer service experience, thank you 🤩
I been reading through the comments here to this video,, and I see replies from the company them all! That really shows me they are a great company! And this video helped me so much more than the limited instruction sheet! Thank you!
Thank you for the very kind words. We certainly do care about our customers and are always happy to help in any way we can. We’re very glad you found this video useful. 😊
our original "transmitter" broke on a windy day so I ordered another complete system not knowing if the transmitter was programmed to each base. The new system base would not pick up the transmitter and now I found that I had to connect it with the button. didn't have to do it with the old one. THANKS for helping.
My husband plugged in the old base, which worked fine even after 5+yrs, and discovered it easily picked up the new transmitter without having to touch the button on it. so he plans on using it in his "mancave"
Hey Sheila, sorry for the trouble. We're happy to hear you were able to get thing worked out though! If you should have questions in the future, we are here to help. 😊
Saw and loved this weather station at my friend's camp in Maine. Just got mine and watched the thorough video . Hoping for many years of accurate weather information from this product.
Awesome! Happy to hear that, Patricia. We're here to help if you should ever have any questions. 😊
This was a great video. The instruction sheet in the box was so limited that I almost sent the unit back. However, I called the help line and learned about their CZcams videos. This guy did a fantastic job and the organization of the video with an index allowing you to go right to the section you need is very helpful.
We are thrilled to hear this, Bob! If you should ever need any further assistance or have any questions, please just let us know. 😊
NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. Very confusing. Written instructions also not helpful.
this video helped me restart my outside probe and connect it to the main indoor one.
Reset is very valuable technique - also I have replace the outdoor sensor contacts & it work like new - cost $1.00 . I love this la crosse station
This video was great!! I just purchased this and the incorrect manual was included not even the correct model so thank goodness for this video!

The weather station was one of my favorite Christmas gifts. This video was outstanding. Thank you.
same here with me as well to.
Because of this valuable video, I now have full confidence in my new La Crosse weather station!!!
My dads dad has this weather station and I absolutely love how it looks😍😍
just got this and love it. came with two displays and both of them have exact same temp and humid readings for in and outdoor so pleased with the accuracy
This how-to video was very useful. Thank you.
Good video. I had a question but it was resolved by reading another persons question and your answer.
I bought the C85845 on January 10, 2017. Within two weeks I began getting lines on the left side instead of numbers. I have tried doing the basic restart a number of times. It works for a while, and then the lines return. It will work for a couple hours and then blank out for a couple hours. I thought it might be the sensor so I ordered a new TX141TH-BV2. It arrived Monday, April 3rd. I set the display and sensor up like a new set and have used the basic restart three times in the 5 days since I received the new sensor. As I mentioned, the unit worked for most of two weeks before it started misfiring. I have put sensors in the same spot before, with success, so I don't think it's a problem with the location of the sensor. For the record, when I started typing, the outside temp and humidity were displaying perfectly. Now, as I finish, the lines are back. Thanks for your time and help.
Thanks for the reply. Five days seems fair. I have contacted the support team and am in the process of working with them.
After a few efforts I managed to find a spot where the sensor works consistently. Now, hopefully, my last question for you. Have people had good success using the 925-1418 Sensor Protection Shield? Will the signal still get through on a consistent basis?
Since I live in an apartment building my options are limited. The spot that offers a consistent signal doesn't offer an eave. So for about 3 hours a day my sensor is in indirect sunlight that affects the sensor by 10-12 degrees. I ordered a weather shield. Wish me luck!
Dang! 285k views! I didnt realize there was that many other weather nerds out there!
Thank you for this very informative video! I love my lacrosse technology weather station!
This is the best demonstration video I have ever seen. It is succinct and simple to understand. I had no more questions once the video was complete. I love this weather station now that I know what I'm doing.
Thanks for the feedback, Rebecca! We are truly happy the video was able to answer your questions, but are always here to help if you should need us in the future. 😊
Awesome set up video. Great to be able to stop and do the steps.
Excellent!! Thorough, very thorough!! Love it!!!
This is helpful!
Very informative, it made the set up a breeze
Hey Greg I came across your weather station on Amazon I like the fact it has atomic time I thought it was a great price so we're going to order it to have it for our home thank you for sharing this video soon as I saw lacrosse technology I wanted to actually see it work so here I am I typed in Lacrosse technology on CZcams and I found you hey man happy New year thanks for a great product
Happy to help, Joe! Thanks for choosing La Crosse Technology. If you should ever have any questions about your product, please just let us know. 😊
Awesome walk through tutorial 👍
I do not see where the electric power cord gets inserted in back of station
Hi Paulette, our apologies for the trouble. Assuming you own the C85845 model featured in this video, this is actually covered starting at the 3:52 mark. You can also find more specifics in the full product manual here: bit.ly/3aR7CRF
Good video. Thanks. Note that on the back of the station there is a stand that folds out. This is not shown in the video and it's not in the written instructions.
Thanks for the comment! We'll make note of this for future videos. 😊
Very well done!
This was really helpful. Thanks
Thank you buddie from mexico
Brought outdoor unit inside, set it next to main unit. After a 2 hr time period, the outdoor unit reads 71 degrees, which is the actual room temp. The main unit will still show between 83-85 degrees.
I really like this product, period! I do however wish the alerts were different.
I like the alerts but do not want an audible alert. I wish the area that shows an alert such as Hi would blink, and reset every 24 hours. If the low alert for 32F goes off at 2:00 AM, I do not want an audible alert to wake me up. But I do want it to blink, so I can know in the morning to be aware of ice when walking/driving that morning or day.
And Second, I would like to eliminate the yellow triangle with an exclamation point indicating something is wrong that needs attention. I would like it replaced with a dash instead if you choose not to alert on that condition.
If alert(s) are active, allow hitting the alerts button to stop the flashing if that is a concern for anybody.
Anyway - this is a very useful product. Please make me my own custom version that does the above and send it to me... I put 3 dots because I did not know how to insert the triangle alert sign ...
Hey Ron, we are thrilled that you're liking your new weather station and appreciate the feedback. Will be sure to pass these suggestions along to our R & D department for further consideration on new systems. But since your comments revolved around alerts, we do want to mention our La Crosse View WiFi-Connected line of products. Many of these items offer similar display alert functions (but without the large alert triagles for those not set) as well as the option for you to set up custom push notification alerts on your mobile device(s). If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, see our page here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view for more information.
Great video. Thank you. Does the screen turn off after ten minutes so you can't tell the time at night unless you activate the screen every ten minutes?
As described at the 14:38 timestamp in this video, as long as you're using the provided power cord, the backlight will remain on whichever brightness level you leave it at using the SNOOZE/BACKLIGHT button. Using only batteries will allow the LCD to come on at full brightness for 10 seconds at a time.
Thank you!

@@lacrossetechnology thank you for your quick reply. I like the product very much and understand the possible shipping issue, I won’t require any further assistance. Thank you again.
Hey I just got this station as a gift, and I'm setting up the station with the clock settings, I see their are settings for all zones except for AZ specific for DST. Do I just set it to MST with DST off or not?
Hey John, yes, that would be correct. Assuming your area does not follow Daylight Saving Time, you will want to keep the DST setting set to OFF and then just be sure to set the station to your correct time zone (which we assume is MST). 😊
@@lacrossetechnology thanks for your quick response. I’ll do that. Thx again.
These units can only predict strong weather systems - strong heavy rain, strong storms. Only strong systems will cause a drop in the atmospheric pressure. A normal rain, snow, cloudy weather will not change the atmospheric pressure so these units will not indicate bad weather. Also, strong winds will cause the atmospheric pressure to fluctuate, again these units will not be helpful for this scenario. In other words, other than for strong weather systems, these units are simply an exterior thermometer.
This is often true for areas at higher elevation, which we reference in our other video here: bit.ly/forecast_vid -- If you find the station's icons not changing accurately enough for your location, we suggest looking into our Wi-Fi Weather Station lineup, which use internet forecast data from AccuWeather. Learn more here --> www.lacrossetechnology.com/pages/la-crosse-view
My C85845 just stopped working one day. Nothing on the display, completely dead and blank. even with new batteries and AC adapter as power source. Also changed out sensor batteries and it shows red light as functional but the station is still totally blank so not an issue of the two not detecting each other.
This is quite strange. Please send this message and your information to our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ and we'll work to figure out a solution. Sorry for this inconvenience.
I recently purchased Model C85845 with Transmitter No. TX141TH-Bv2. This unit has had issues from day one. The instructional video is most helpful however performing a basic restart twice - the unit does not provide outdoor information - only dashes. Before the first restart, the outdoor temps were sporadic - however now the outdoor dashes are constant.
I am ready to return this as it must be defective. Very disappointing...
Same with me. I did a restart per the video, replacing all the batteries, but the sensor is not connecting to the station. Did you solve your problem?
Very helpful, thank you!
GREAT PRESENTATION great product! This is our 2nd!
Why does it need to be in a well shaded area? I find when it's in the shade, I get a reading that's much cooler than or actually is outside. Yesterday it was 107 degrees but my weather station was at 84 because I've got the sensor in an alcove by the front door.
In most cases, direct sunlight will cause inflated outdoor temperature readings. Our other video here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings will walk you through how to test the sensor's accuracy.
Great video. Bravo Zulu.
Thanks Greg Pizl. Can you put a tutorial on how to close the owners manual thanks .
I am confused about the atomic time icon. Is the tower supposed to always show? It went away on my unit. But the video made it seem like it was supposed to stay on and not blink when it connected. ??
My back light will not stay on! The station is plugged in, everything else is working properly...I have pushed the plug it in as far as I can - as was suggested by another on this forum who was addressing a similar complaint to mine. I don't want this weather station if I have to walk over and push the button every time I need to see the outside temperature. I bought it for the bright, attractive display, that could easily been seen from a distance. Help me, please!
Hey Cara, we're truly sorry for the trouble with your backlight. Just to confirm, have you by chance tried the display using a different power outlet? We've had some customers in the past find that the one they were using was actually not working or was controlled by a switch. If you have, and the display does not stay lit up, you may need a new power cord. In this situation, we ask that you please reach out to our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport -- they will be more than happy to help get this corrected. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
What an impressive turn around response time, La Crosse! Yes, the station was plugged into a power strip with a switch. The switch was on, but the station back light wouldn't stay on. When I moved the station to a wall outlet, it lit up like Christmas for me. Your solution worked, and I am a happy camper, now. I hope others with the same issue see this solution. La Crosse, you've got it going on for customer service. Thumbs up!
This is a really good weather station as long as you don't mind replacing the remote sensor batteries every two days. If you upgrade to lithium batteries you can get thee days before replacement. And don't bother contacting customer service, they don't answer the phone.
I got mine set fine but it changes the display from temp and time to alarm every 10 seconds, its really annoying. I have the alarm off but it keeps switching back and forth. I want it to just show the time and temps like in the videos. I dont even use the alarm feature but it keeps showing alarm 12:00 I even reset it and took the batteries out but doesnt stop.
Hey Jason, we're sorry for the display trouble. For product specific support, please message our team here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport, or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page. We'd love to help get this resolved.
Does La Crosse have a similar device that does not require an unsightly electrical plug?
Does La Crosse have a device that shows seconds?
Of course! Our selection of Battery-Powered Stations here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/standard-battery-stations offer many of the same benefits as the C85845 model featured in this video, just without the color LCD. Combining this with a station that shows a seconds readout, our suggestion would be the 308-1451V2 Fisherman Forecast Station: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/308-1451v2
My outdoor temperature is reading 159 degrees when it’s only 70 degrees. It’s not changing at all and the sensor is in shade.
If the values are indeed stuck on the display, we'd suggest performing a basic restart as covered at the 21:01 mark in this video. Be sure to us a new set of regular alkaline batteries in your outdoor sensors for best results. If these steps still do not resolve the issue, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. We apologize for any inconvenience.
My indoor temp is only right after midnight - when I awake in the morning, it shows as 69 degrees indoor, when the temp is actually 69 - within an hour it says 85......but the temp is still 69...........
Not near a heater, window, etc. I have an Acurite weather station right next to it (was a Christmas Gift) and that one is accurate.
Will do.
Mine is only displaying dashes for the outside temperature. So I followed your instructions here to reset it removing the batteries from the transmitter first, the unit second and then unplugging the unit and pressed the same button you did in the video 20 times, waited 15 minutes and reinserted the batteries into the outdoor sensor, then the unit and plugged it in.... NOTHING. No OUTDOOR temperature. Ugh!!!! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. What else can I do?
Assuming you're using a new set of regular alkaline batteries in the sensor, these steps should have resolved the issue. A new outdoor sensor will likely be the fix at this point.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology thank you for the reply. Yes, we did put brand new alkaline batteries in the sensor and the unit itself. It finally just started working out of the blue... like 4 or 5 days after I wrote this to you. But at least it's working. :)
Nice video i luv my unit ………but. I even bought a new sensor unit and i still have dashes. I’t still will not give me the outside temp Inside yes. I have gone thought this setup numerous times …..

If you've tried the basic restart steps covered at the 21:01 mark in this video and your outdoor sensor is still not connecting, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Our apologies for this inconvenience.
I just received my weather station and went through the proper steps for setup and the outdoor sensor will not find the weather station. I have tried doing a restart and also tried holding the temp button but they will not connect led light on sensor is blinking when I put batteries in .
please help!!! the atomic time will not connect either.
Hey Kristal, we are truly sorry for the outdoor sensor trouble. In addition to the steps at the 21:01 timestamp in this video, your sensor has a small TX button located above the batteries. Press this after you have the power restored to both the sensor and display. This should force a transmission and connect your sensor almost instantly. If it does not, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for assistance in getting you a replacement.
In regard to your Atomic Time feature, moving your station near a window, away from other electronics, and having the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO will help increase its chances of catching this signal and having it adjust your time automatically (typically happens within 3-5 nights). If you find yourself in a predicament where the time hasn’t adjusted automatically, it may be best to make sure to have your settings adjusted correctly but to also set the clock manually for the time being. This will allow the clock to remain at the correct time even if the WWVB signal is picked up in the future. More about how this signal works can be found here: bit.ly/AtomicTime
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the WWVB signal will reach all locations. For instance, if you live in a valley, are surrounded by buildings, or have other strong radio signals nearby, these can all cause interference, which can delay or even fully block this radio signal from reaching your station. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience.
We got one of these for Christmas (from Costco, of course) and would like to understand why the 'temperature trend' icons never seems to illuminate even though the temps obviously do change. What is/isn't happening and how do we get them to operate? Thank you.
Once you set an alert for certain temperatures, what actually happens when the temperature reaches that level? Is there a beep or something that displays?
Great question! When an armed alert value is reached, the alert icon will flash and the station will beep 5 times every minute, or until the value is out of the alert range. You can press any button to stop the alert from sounding and the alert icon will continue to flash while alert value is in alert range. More on this and other features can be found in your full manual here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/media/catalog/product/c/8/c85845v3_web_120518.pdf
Hello, my machine is fading, can’t see anything. Don’t know what to do
Oh no!! For assistance, please message our support staff here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport, or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page.
My outdoor temperature is showing 95 when it is 80 out? It’s facing south east (the sensor).
Assuming you own the C85845 model featured in this video, please try moving the outdoor sensor to a fully shaded location for best results. A north-facing wall under an eave is often a great spot as it offers additional protection from direct weather elements. Our other video here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings goes over how to test the sensor's accuracy and offers additional placement suggestions.
I just replaced both of my weather stations. There’s no longer a way to mount on a wall. Am I missing something?
Hey Karen, our apologies for any trouble. Most of our weather stations will have built-in notches for wall-mounting purposes. These are often found directly on the pulldown stand as triangle cutouts. If you should need further assistance with your specific products, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. 😊
Bought one from Costco. Placed the indoor and outdoor units side by side to compare. After stabilizing for a few hours, the readings are 2-3 degrees different in temperature and 3-4% in humidity. Is it in your tolerance range?
Why can you not connect this to an unsecured network? And before anyone says just make a password I can’t, I’m using it on my boat at my marina using the same guest network 2.4 GHz I use for my boat
Hey Jason, if you do indeed own the C85845 model featured in this video, we should note that this is not a WiFi-connected device.

Forecast picture does not seem accurate . It has been in the 20 to 30 degree range and full cloud cover for the last 3 days and it has been showing the full sun image ?
Hey Jim, our apologies for any trouble. As noted at the 17:05 mark in this video, The calculations for this station’s weather icons are based on its internal barometric pressure reading. Keep in mind, these icons are designed to display a prediction of your weather to come within the next 6-12 hours, not necessarily your current conditions. And because the weather can be a hard thing to predict, even for professionals, we cannot claim these to be 100% accurate. For most of our stations, these predictions fall between 60% and 80% accuracy after the first ten days from the initial startup. If you're still within these first 10 days, the weather icon calculations may not be adjusted to your location just yet. Over time, these should become more accurate. One other thing to note, if you're located in an area that is above 6200ft elevation, these icons will likely not act correctly. If you fall in this category, please reach out to us here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page. From there, we'd love to help in any way we can. Sorry again for any inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology Thank You for
your quick response.
I got the la crosse wireless color wether station as a gift. I did everything like it’s says an the outdoor temp doesn’t show. The remote sensor an the main unit has been setting for at least 4 hours. Does the remote have to be outside for it to read?
Hey Janice, we are truly sorry for the trouble. Our first suggestion would be to try the Basic Restart steps included at the 21:01 mark in this video, using a new set of regular alkaline batteries. After you have the power restored to both the sensor and display, press the small TX button located above the batteries on your outdoor sensor. This should force a transmission and connect your sensor almost instantly. If this does not work, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for help getting a new sensor. Our apologies for this inconvenience.
We got this weather station and we really like it. We've tested it against other thermometers, and it seems to be accurate within a degree or so. But, I was under the impression that I could receive signals from 3 different remote sensors. Is that right?
Hi Lily, we're happy to hear that you're enjoying your new weather station! Unfortunately, the C85845 model featured in this video does not allow for the addition of add-on sensors. If this is a "must have" feature, we'd be happy to pass along some suggestions to other models that do allow for this. Just let us know. :)
Have 3 of these already working great. Just set up 4th in separate area of our home. Display BLINKS on/off intermittently. To be clear, it turns on and off without being touched but seemingly with no pattern...just randomly. I tried swapping batteries, different outlet, etc. Any suggestions?
That is quite strange. Our first suggestion would be to try a basic restart: bit.ly/LaxTech_BasicRestart -- If these steps still do not resolve the issue, please get in touch with our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ and we'll work with you to get you a new display. We apologize for the troubles.
My unit is about a month old and I seem to be having a problem with the sensor. The other day we experienced a nor'easter with high winds and heavy rain. Humidity was 99%. The next two days were sunny and dry, yet humidity is still at 99%. I took down the sensor, put in new batteries (I used the recommended cold weather batteries), reset everything, got a strong signal and put it back outside. Although it has been cold and dry overnight and into the morning, it is still reading 99% humidity. The temp seems fine. I have had the señor inside for three hours and although the indoor humidity is 40%, the outdoor is stuck on 99%. You suggestions, please?
Sounds like the sensor may have gotten a bit too wet and a replacement may be needed. For further help with this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page (social media is often faster this time of year). Our apologies for the inconvenience, we look forward to helping get this corrected.
My unit will not turn on with just the cord plugged in. Only with batteries. Did I end up with a faulty AV cable?
Hey Luke, that could be the case. Just to be sure, have you tried a different outlet that you know works and checked to make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the back of the display? If so, and you're still unable to get it powered up, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport.

My station does not have a settings button. I have everything working except the clock, cannot set the clock.
Hi Pegily, could you pass along the model number of your station? This should be printed on the back or bottom of the main display.
I just bought this “weather station” a week ago and finally today I installed it... but guess what? Both the “set” & “temp” buttons don’t work... I press and hold them and nothing happens... all the other buttons work as expected and I’ve set up the alarm without a problems as well as alerts... without those two buttons, I’ve a clock that doesn’t tell the time nor the date... so it sits as a paperweight!
Hi Ronald, we are truly sorry to hear this and would be happy to issue a replacement. If you haven't done so already, please contact our support team here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/support/index/form/ -- sorry again for this inconvenience.
My display is hard to read at any distances. I can read it find up close but once I start moving away from the display it becomes harder to read. When I'm 8-10 feet away can't even read it. I have it plug in and the display on bright. Is there something I can do to make it brighter or do you think it's defected?
If xfinity router modem is not 2.4GHz, then it may not connect to WiFi?
All current routers will have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band, as numerous smarthome devices use this. However, we do apologize for any confusion as the C85845 model weather station featured in this video does not offer any Wi-Fi connection ability. A current list of Wi-Fi connected options can be found here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/complete-systems
Ive been having troubles setting up my station as well. It worked well initially. But not now. Tried many times to connect. Pressed the - and + sign and it starts to blink but not rapidly. Don’t know what else to do.
Hey Daniel, it sounds like you are referencing one of our WiFi-connected stations (these are different from the C85845 model shown in this video).

The atomic icon has not appeared on screen unit has been connected for 24 hrs already what am I doing wrong
Moving the station away from other electronics and near a window with the front or back of it facing Fort Collins, CO can help it receive the WWVB Atomic Time Signal. Depending on your location, it is not abnormal for the signal to take multiple days to be received or go in and out over time. If you need further assistance, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook page.
My outdoor temp is about 8 degrees too high How can I get it to be more accurate. It was fine until today
Hey Robert, our apologies for the trouble. As suggested in our video on this topic here: bit.ly/inaccurate_temp_readings -- we'd first recommend trying a side by side test with the sensor next to your indoor display to compare readings. If the sensor is reading correctly after the two hours next to the display, then we'd suggest looking for possible changes near the outside location where the sensor was mounted. If you need further assistance after this test, please send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page.

I’m having the same issue. Any resolve?
I have the c85845v3. I followed the manual, but decided to skip the step for the outdoor sensor for now. Will be installing it in the next few days. But I noticed the outdoor side was being populated. Not only was it displaying, but it was displaying pretty accurately. I checked if the sensor came pre installed with batteries but it didn't. Where is it getting this reading from? Can it pick up wifi? Bluetooth? Signal waves? Someone else's outdoor sensor?
Our apologies for the confusion. If you are getting data without batteries in your outdoor sensor, this almost surely means your display has picked up the radio transmission from a neighboring sensor. Assuming the data is accurate, we do have many users who choose to share the sensor info with their neighbors. Keeping other Temp/Humidity sensors as backups or using them in other areas of their home (though the C85845 models specifically do not offer multiple sensor channels). If you prefer to use your own sensor's data, please use the following steps to get that sensor cynced with your display.
1. Bring your outdoor sensor inside next to the display and remove all batteries and power from both your sensor and display.
2. Press any button on the display at least 25 times and leave the two parts sitting without power for at least a few minutes.
3. Install a new set of regular alkaline batteries into the outdoor sensor and keep it near the display with the battery cover off.
4. Power the display back up using the power cord and/or a new set of regular alkaline batteries. After powering on, quickly move to step 5 to prevent the display from picking up another sensor signal.
5. On the sensor there should be a small TX button located just above the batteries, press this button to force a transmission signal. In most cases, this should connect the sensor to your display almost instantly.
If you are still having trouble after this, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport. Or alternatively, send us a private message on our Facebook: bit.ly/LaxTech_Facebook or Twitter: bit.ly/LaxTech__Twitter page for further assistance. Sorry again for any inconvenience.
@@lacrossetechnology Thanks. It wasn't an issue and it is working well. I was just a little confused as to what was going on.
@@lacrossetechnology Follow up question. Does it desync the other weather station base? In other words, can two bases connect to the same outdoor sensor at the same time?
@@naryneitred Yes, as long as each station is compatible with the same outdoor sensor, you can have any number of displays receive a single sensor's radio signal.
My new model has an additional digit (C85845v3) compared to the model in this tutorial. What's the difference?
Thanks for reaching out to us Jack. The C85845v3 is the third variation C85845. Compared to the previous models, the V3 has a new IC chip and the sensor is backwards compatible. If you have any more questions please let us know.
The dashboard on the model I just purchased looks nothing like the dashboard in this video. Is there any chance an updated version of this video is available? In-box instruction manual is anemic at best, and the system is not intuitive to navigate thru.
Hey Ian, our sincere apologies for the trouble setting up your weather station. If you could pass along the model number of your specific station (printed on the back of the main display, typically near our logo), we'd be more than happy to provide any additional support links available.
HOW DO I MOUNT THE DISPLAY UNIT TO THE WALL?
Hey Ken, our apologies for not covering wall mounting in the video, but on the backside of the case there are two triangle holes (shown at the 22:24 mark) designed for this purpose. Simply close the rear stand and use a pair of nails, screws, or even push pins to hang the display on a wall using the trangle cutouts on the back.
My atomic clock icon flashes to search but never seems to stay on. My time has had several errors in the past few weeks. I reset the time manually but the atomic time does not work
Hi Sue, if your clock is having trouble keeping time correctly, we'd first suggest to remove all power from the display (batteries and power cord), press any of its buttons at least 25 times, and then leave it sit without power for at least 2 hours. After this time, power the display back up by plugging the power cord into your outlet first, then into your display. Be sure also to use a new set of regular alkaline batteries for backup purposes.
After these steps, your unit should function as new, with the station performing its initial search for the WWVB reception. Moving your display near a window, away from other electronics, and having the front or back of it face Fort Collins, CO will help increase its chances of catching this signal and having it adjust your time automatically (typically happens within 3-5 nights).
If you find yourself in a predicament where the time hasn’t adjusted automatically, it may be best to make sure to have your settings adjusted correctly, but to also set the clock manually for the time being. This will allow the clock to remain at the correct time even if the WWVB signal is picked up in the future. More about how this signal works can be found here: bit.ly/AtomicTime
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the WWVB signal will reach all locations. For instance, if you live in a valley, are surrounded by buildings, or have other strong radio signals nearby, these can all cause interference, which can delay or even fully block this radio signal from reaching your weather station. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience. If you continue to have trouble with the time being incorrect, please message our support staff directly here: bit.ly/contact_techsupport.

The one I have took about an hour to pair with the base station the very first time I opened it out of the box. I'm now changing the batteries to the temp/humidity sensor and it no longer wants to pair
We're truly sorry to hear that, this is highly unusual. If you haven't tried the Basic Restart steps covered at the 21:01 mark in this video, please do so to try and reestablish a connection. Also, be sure to use new reputable alkaline batteries in both the display and outdoor sensor, other battery types can sometimes have transmission/reception problems. If these steps still do not resolve the issue, you will likely need a new sensor.

Hi - I purchased the C85845 on around Dec. 10th 2017 as a gift for my husband. One week later we began getting dash lines on the left side instead of showing the outside temp. We have tried doing the restart a number of times. It works for a while, and then the dash lines return. It works for a few hours and then it shows the dash lines again. We also have tried to press the restart in the sensor but it doesn't seem to help. The unit will work for a while then does the above again.
Also the weather icons are not showing properly....EX: when it is sunny outside we get rain/snow icons showing (not the sun icon) or it shows the storm icon.
Also the tower icon (atomic) does not stay is it suppose too. The video says it will??
If there is no solution to the problems we are having what can be done?
Thank you in advance!!!
Linda
Is my station not suppose to stay lit all the time?? I do not want to have to press the button to see the temps etc., each time……
Hey Val, as mentioned in the video, battery power only will allow the display to only remain on for 10 seconds at a time. Use of the provided power cord is required for a constant backlight. Please be sure both ends are securely plugged in and the outlet used is in working order.
My weather station seems to be malfunctioning. Indoor temp is displayed but no outdoor information. I changed batteries in outdoor module but still nothing. Is it broken or am I missin* something. Don’t see anything in manuals
Hi Steve, our apologies for the trouble. We'd first recommend performing a basic restart covered in this video at the 21:01 mark. In addition to these steps, your sensor has a small TX button located above the batteries. Press this after you have the power restored to both the sensor and display. This should force a transmission and connect your sensor almost instantly. Be sure also to use new regular alkaline batteries from the same package. Other better types should be avoided.

I got a weather station made by La Crosse and it was the biggest piece of junk I ever saw. the wind meter never got above 10 MPH , the rain gauge never worked , and the temperature gauge was off by 2-3 degrees . When I asked them about the temp being off , they said that was normal , I told them if I wanted to know the about temperature I would just guess at it , I threw the mess away , 100 dollars shot .
I am not happy with this model. The sensor doesn't flash, no matter how many times I press that small button (batteries are brand new). The few times I had it working it stops syncing a day later. By the way, I'm in Seattle and it rains a lot. I built a cover for this sensor to avoid water but it continues stop syncing. I even placed it in a small sandwich bag to protect it from the rain, but it stops working. Perhaps this sensor needs to be replaced? This item was purchased last November at Costco.
Thanks for such a speedy response.. I will fill it out right away.

The display keeps flashing on and off. ????? Cannot find any answers to this issue.
Sorry for the trouble! Let's try a few steps to see if we can get this corrected:
1. Remove all power from your display. Including batteries and unplugging the power cord from both your wall and from your display.
2. Press any button on the display at least 25 times and leave it sitting without power for at least two hours.
3. Power the display back up by plugging the power cord into your outlet first, then into your display. If your model uses AA or AAA batteries, be sure to install a new set of alkaline batteries, other battery types should be avoided.

Can I use two (2) sensors for the model C85845v4? thank-you
Hey George, great question! Unfortunately, our current C85845 lineup will only support data from one wireless sensor. Newer models, like our S77925v2: bit.ly/s77925v2, V11: bit.ly/v11_station, and V15: bit.ly/v15_station will all support add-on temperature/humidity sensors as well as rain gauges or more. For help deciding and/or figuring out which sensors to purchase, feel free to reach out to our store directly at 608-785-7939 or via email at: store@lacrossetechnology.com
My model C85845v4 has the Yellow Triangle for the indoor and outdoor set to off. How do I get this to be on?
Hey Bart, sorry for the confusion. These OFF Icons are simply used to indicate that you have no temperature alerts set. This is covered more in-depth at the 19:00 mark in this video and within your full manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/C85845V4#support
How does the Alert work. Is it a flashing signal or a sound?
Hey Louis, great question, sorry we didn't cover this in the video. When an alert value is reached, the alert icon will flash and the station will beep 5 times each minute until out of the alert range. You can press any button on the display to turn the beeping off, but the icon will continue to flash until out of that alert range. More on this and other items can be found in your full manual and FAQ documents here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/products/C85845V4#support
Do I have this correct? I can use battery power only for the display, but I have to push a button to get 10 seconds of display time. ( Is there a similar offering where batteries power the display constantly? I guess I didn't shop closely...when it said 'wireless', I errantly assumed no power cord, either.
Hey Steve, our apologies for the confusion, but yes, that is correct. The "wireless" is in reference to the outdoor sensor. All of our current color LCD displays will require a power cord for a constant backlight. For a truly wireless experience, one of our non-color display models would be your best bet, as these do not require a power cord. Something like our 308-1417V2, WS-9250U-IT, or 328-96087 may be a good completely wireless alternative to our C85845 model featured in this video. You can find these, and other options on our website here: www.lacrossetechnology.com/collections/weather-stations -- Sorry again for any inconvenience, please let us know if you have any further questions.
Can the monitor be used with batteries only without the power cord ?
Hey Keith, the C85845 station can run on batteries; however, the LCD backlight will only come on for 10 seconds after a button push. We recommend using the provided power cord for best results and a constant backlight. The batteries are meant more as a backup option should your power go out.
Hello there, I am very happy with your product after replacing our broken sensor with the one you mailed us. It is working great. So far our sensor stays in sync with our device. Question for you: Can one sensor connect to two C85845 devices? If that's the case, we would like to purchase one C85845 device, how can we do this? Thank you
That's great!! Checking other models, can you tell me if model S88907 www.lacrossetechnology.com/s88907 would work/connect with the sensor that came with C85845?
Great, I will go ahead and purchase S88907. The vertical one will work better where we want to place it. Thank you
Does the support that keeps the unit click into place? I don’t want to break the support if there is not a position that locks the support arm in place. Thanks.
Hey John, this may actually depend on the model you own. Our newer stations will typically feature a friction controlled stand that will allow you leave the display sit in almost any position without needing to lock in place. If your display is sitting up on its own without a "click/lock" this is likely the stand your model has. Our older units did have various locking points that clicked into place. But as long as it's sitting up and stable on your countertop, you should be just fine. 😊
