And, you have to be right on top of the unit. Argh. Returned. Bad design or defect. The outdoor temp LCD is more contrasty than the rest.meaning that you have about 20 degrees of vision where the correct temp is displayed. Here, it is either 30F or 80F, the left two vertical lines ar enot displayed from LCD setting 0-5, but are there (barely) from 6-7.
It currently claims that the temperature is 115 when it is more like 75. Mine kicked the bucket withing a year. The temperature readings became wildly inaccurate.
I am waiting for a reply from LaCrosse Tech support. Mine hasn't changed its readings in the last two weeks (can't be same sunset / sunrise times for two weeks - confirmed on line). I got this gadget a couple of weeks ago. I really like all its functions and everything works well EXCEPT the function giving sunrise / sunset / and hours of daylight.
He's predicted rain way more than we've experienced. Jury is out on the 'little man' and his weather predictions. However, it's summer, and he may be confused by the summer thunderstorms. I've had the product a month, and it is as advertised. Simple to program, accurate temperature readings.
So I replaced all the batteries. It also asked for the purchase info that I already sent in the previous email. I thought it was the batteries. 2)Having hearding nothing from them, I sent a email on June 10. I bought it in February 09'.
And I strongly encourage any one who have similr problems with La Crosse to do the same. So I filed a complaint with BBB. An email came on June 12 with the typical Battery instructions despite the detailed problem description in my email. My patience ran out. As other reviewer mentioned, La Crosse has ZERO customer servce. It's 10 days now after I sent the last email. Same thing when I tried at least 3 types of alkaline batteries as recommended. And guess what, nothing happened after that.
After two months' use, the display was dead. 3)Anyway, I resent all the info requested on the same day, June 12. We can't just let them sell faulty products and ignore the customers. The display beeped once and then nothing. 1)I contacted them using their online Contact Custome Service form in early May.
