automatically. When the battery voltage charges 
to 2.5V, the LCD will turn on and the transmission 
of signal will start again. 

 

2.  Install Batteries into Wireless Display 

Insert 2 new "AA", 1.5 volt ALKALINE batteries 
into the wireless display according to the polarity 
marked on the battery compartment. Make sure to 
do this within 2 minutes of performing the start up 
process for the TX61U-IT. (Diagram on page 3) 

 

Once the batteries are properly installed in the 
wireless display, the unit will beep and all 
segments of its LCD will light up briefly. The 
indoor temp and the time (displayed as 12:00) will 
appear on the LCD. If it does not appear after 30 
seconds, please reinstall the wireless display 
batteries and try again. Once the indoor data is 
displayed, proceed to the next step.  

 

3.  Wireless Temperature Reception 

After the wireless display is powered up, it will 
start receiving data from the TX61U-IT sensor. If 
reception is successful, the outdoor temp will 
appear on the wireless display. If the outdoor 
temp does not display within 5 min, remove the 
batteries from the display and go back to Step 1 
(make sure the batteries are fresh). 

 

4.  Distance Between Units   

To ensure sufficient wireless communication, the 
final distance between the wireless display and 
the sensor should be no more than 200 ft (60.96 
meters) (obstacles can reduce this distance). 

 

TX61U-IT Sensor Power Save "STOP" Mode 

 

 

If the TX61U-IT sensor is placed in a dark environment 
for 24 hours, it will enter into the "STOP" mode to save 
power. The LCD will turn off and it will stop transmitting 
the data. If this happens, press the reset button on the 
TX61U-IT sensor to wake it up. If the voltage is higher 
than 2.5V, the LCD will turn on again and resume the 
transmission of the wireless temperature signal.  

 

If the voltage is lower than 2.5V, “LO” will appear on 
the LCD and the sensor will enter into "IDLE" mode. 
Move the sensor to a brightly lit area. In "IDLE" mode, 
the LCD turns off and the sensor charges up the 
internal rechargeable batteries automatically. When 
the battery voltage charges to 2.5V, the LCD will turn 
on and the transmission of signal will start again.  

 

Set the Time and Date 

 

The WS-811561 Wireless Display will automatically set 
its time based on daily WWVB reception. The signal is
