Care and Maintenance

Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures, vibration, and shock, as these can cause damage and lead to inaccurate readings.

Take precautions when handling batteries. Injuries, burns, or property damage may occur if batteries come into contact with conducting materials, heat, corrosive materials, or explosives. Remove batteries from the unit if it will be stored for a long period.

Immediately remove any low-power batteries to prevent leakage and damage. Replace only with new batteries of the recommended type.

When cleaning the display and casings, use only a soft, damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents, as they may scratch the LCD and casings.

Do not submerge the unit in water. Ensure all parts are protected against moisture and rain.

Handle a damaged LCD display with special care, as the liquid crystals can be harmful to health.

Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Contact the La Crosse Technology Warranty Department for assistance. Opening or tampering with the unit may void the warranty.

Never touch exposed electronic circuits, as there is a risk of electric shock.

Avoid exposing the unit to extreme and sudden temperature changes, which may reduce its accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Battery Issues

Battery problems are the most common cause of customer support inquiries. Check the following:
