Sensor doesn't work
Mine stopped working about 2 weeks ago (May 2018) after about 8 years of service. I had tried the recommended procedure to depress the reset button on the sensor, but it still would not reset / reboot the temperature sensor. I suspect the non removable batteries to be the issue failure so I am about to crack the case open to try to troubleshoot the issue for confirmation.

How do I change to daylight saving time?
Once the battery is installed the clock will begin searching for a signal. For the initial setting it is recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. Within five minutes the clock will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o'clock position and search for WWVB each even numbered hour until a signal is received. If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and automatically reset the hands when the signal is received.
What I would do, take the clock outside, it might not be getting a signal inside your house.

TX58UN-IT transmit icon is on, does not measure rain.
I had this problem and after 7 days I've heard nothing back from LaCrosse. Problem appears to be a non-functioning magnetic reed switch inside the circuitry housing. It's easy to remove the cover with a tiny phillips screwdriver (mind the small and delicate gasket/o-ring). Then the circuit board is held in with two more tiny philips screws at the bottom of the housing. Removing and replacing the switch will require a low-wattage soldering pencil. I used a Standex-Meder part number ORD228VL-1015 from Digi-Key. Only a couple $, cheap, fast shipping. It appears to be an EXACT replacement.

Rain gauge not working
Replace the glass reed switch on the circuit board as it is bad. You must be very careful to orient the replacement switch so that it closes only when the rocker arm is at the vertical position. This will take some work to get right. Use a volt ohm meter and set the Plus lead at the reed switch lead at the top of the board. The meter should show a closed circuit only when the rocker is at the top. Good luck.

Will one of the newer sensors work in place of my 1457 sensor?
It's possible that one of the newer sensors could work in place of your 1457 sensor, but it depends on the specifications of the newer sensors and the compatibility with your base unit. The I MAX1457 sensor, which is a highly integrated analog-sensor signal processor optimized for piezoresistive sensor calibration and compensation. However, I have no information about its compatibility. If you're looking for a replacement sensor, I suggest contacting the manufacturer of your base unit to inquire about compatible sensors. Alternatively, you can check the user manual of your base unit to see if it lists compatible sensors. Garage door opener sensors are not universal. Safety sensors can only communicate with garage door openers from the same brand.
How can I adjust the time on my weather station model #sgr72914?
- Access the Time Setting Mode:
- Locate the 'Set' or 'Settings' button on your weather station. This button is typically found on the front or the back of the unit.
- Press and hold the 'Set' or 'Settings' button for about 3 to 5 seconds. This action should access the time setting mode, where you can adjust the time.
- Adjust Hour and Minutes:
- Once in the time setting mode, use the 'Up' or '+' button to increase the hours and the 'Down' or '-' button to decrease the hours.
- After setting the correct hour, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to move to the minutes setting.
- Use the 'Up' or '+' and 'Down' or '-' buttons to adjust the minutes accordingly.
- Confirm the Time:
- Once you have set the correct time, press the 'Set' or 'Settings' button again to confirm and exit the time setting mode.
- Check the Time Display:
- After setting the time, check the display to ensure that the time is displayed correctly.
