When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow 

the remote 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 remote sensor no more than 330 feet 

(100 meters, open air) from the weather station. 

 

See the section on 

mounting 

an

distance/resistance/interference 

for details on 

mounting the remote sensor. 

 

Quick Connect 

 

Explanation: Use the quick connect for a weather station and remote 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 remote sensor and weather station together inside and place the units 5-10 

feet apart with nothing between them.  

2.

 

Hold the HEAT/DEW button for 5 seconds. The remote temperature area will flash. 

3.

 

Remove battery cover from the remote sensor and press and release the TX button to 

send the signal. 

4.

 

Wait for 2 minutes for the remote temperature to appear on the weather station. 

 

 

Factory Restart: 

If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset. 

 

Remote Temperature Sensor 

 

Compatible Remote sensors 

 

 

The TX141TH-Bv3 remote sensor comes packaged with this weather station.  

 

The TX141TH-B (all versions) sensors are compatible with this weather station.  

 

Remote Temperature Signal Strength 

 

Explanation: The weather station will search for the remote temperature/humidity sensor 

for 3 minutes after installing batteries or after holding the HEAT/DEW button for 3 seconds. 

 

 

The antenna symbol will flash during reception. 

 

The temperature display will be dashes “---“. 

 

If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.  

 

If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.  

 

If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show without 

bars.  

 

The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.  

 

Dashes show for Remote Temperature 

 

Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the weather station and the 

remote sensor.   

 

Batteries 

often resolve the connection.
