La Crosse Weather Station WS-9016U

WS-9016U consists of Indoor Weather Station(WS-9016U) and Remote Temperature Sensor(TX6U)

Acording to WS-9016U & TX6U manual,

• Power up remote sensor first, then, power up base station
• Range of 80 feet

WS-9016U Indoor Weather Station,

• can have up to 3 remote sensors

TX6U Remote Temperature Sensor,

• transmits temperature every 1 minute
