*Primary power requires 5.0V power adapter, for adjustable brightness settings. Optional, use of 3 AA alkaline batteries (not included) provides backup for temporary power loss. If using on batteries-only: Backlight settings (HI/LOW/OFF) will not function and temporary illumination activates for several seconds, as this is a power-saving feature.
TX141TH-B wireless weather-resistant sensor
*Recommend mounting sensor vertically, out-of-direct sunlight & well-ventilated sheltered location. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can greatly reduce the signal's range.

Quick Connect
Explanation: Use the quick connect for a weather station and outdoor sensor that have been working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not the same as a thorough factory reset.
1. Bring the outdoor sensor and weather station together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart with nothing between them.
2. Hold TEMP button for 5 seconds. The outdoor temperature area will flash.
3. Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button to send the signal.
4. Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the weather station.
Factory Restart: If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.
1. Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and weather station.
2. Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the weather station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on the screen that will show when there is no power).
4. Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert the AC power cord into the wall outlet then into the weather station.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor sensor and weather station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
10. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor sensor no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air) from the weather station. See owner's instructional manual for distance/resistance/interference details for properly mounting the outdoor sensor.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
