Batteries

Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items
sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have
an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will
maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can
deplete the power.
 We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
 Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the outdoor sensors.
 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.

Wireless thermometer Factory Restart

Explanation: The factory restart returns the wireless thermometer and outdoor sensor to an "out-of-the-
box" state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power from outdoor sensor and wireless thermometer.
2. Press one of the buttons on the wireless thermometer at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the wireless thermometer is blank before proceeding (some lines are painted on and will
not disappear).
4. Leave batteries out of both units for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert fresh Alkaline batteries into the wireless thermometer.
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 wireless thermometer.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor
sensor and wireless thermometer 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 200 feet (60 meters, open
air) from the wireless thermometer.
 See the section on
mounting
sensor.

Outdoor Temperature Sensor

Compatible Outdoor Sensors

 The TX141-B outdoor sensor comes packaged with this wireless thermometer.
 The TX141-B and TX141-A (433MHz) outdoor sensors are compatible with this wireless
thermometer.

Quick Connect

Explanation: The quick connect is used for a wireless thermometer and outdoor sensor that have been
working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not a thorough factory reset.
1. Bring the outdoor sensor and wireless thermometer together inside and place the units 5-10 feet
apart with nothing between them.
2. Hold the MIN/MAX/+ button on the wireless thermometer. 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.
