The La Crosse WS-9160U-IT thermometer may not find the sensor due to the following reasons:
1. Battery Issues – Ensure the sensor has fresh batteries and they are installed correctly. The sensor uses two “AAA” batteries, and the thermometer uses two “AA” batteries. 2. Startup Sequence – Follow the correct setup order: - Insert batteries into sensor 1. - Insert batteries into the wireless thermometer. - Wait for the outdoor temperature to appear before adding additional sensors. 3. Signal Obstruction – Walls, windows, or other obstacles can reduce the 330 ft range of the wireless signal. Try placing the sensor closer to the thermometer. 4. Interference – Other electronic devices can interfere with the signal. Move the sensor away from such devices. 5. Sensor Placement – Ensure the sensor is placed in a shaded area, preferably on a north-facing wall, as per the manual's recommendation.
If the thermometer still does not find the sensor, try resetting both devices by removing and reinserting the batteries following the correct startup sequence.
