you wish a 24-hour min/max reading, reset the min/max temperatures at the same
time each day.
VIEW MIN/MAX READINGS:
Press and release the PLUS button to view outdoor MIN/MAX readings, then indoor
MIN/MAX readings then return to the normal display.
RESET MIN/MAX READINGS:
Press and hold the PLUS button for 5 seconds to reset both Indoor and Outdoor
MIN/MAX readings to current temperature.
Sensor Stop Mode
Place the sensor into Stop mode: Hold your hand over the solar panel for 10
seconds and gently key the reset. The sensor display will say STP then go blank.
Activate the sensor at any time by gently keying the reset button.
Outdoor Transmitter Fell and No Longer Works
First charge the sensor under a lamp for 24-hours. Then, try the restart with the
station. Often a sensor was just shocked and may reconnect with a proper
restart.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Transmitter
Mount outdoor temperature transmitters vertically and under a bit of an
overhang.
Protect the outdoor transmitter from standing rain or snow, and from the
overhead sun, which can cause it to read incorrectly. Generally, mounting under
an eave or deck rail works well.
Construct a small roof or box for the transmitter if you do not have an overhang.
Please be sure the box is vented.
The solar sensor charges best when mounted on the East side of the house so it
can receive
cool morning sun to stay charged.
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong signal.
Outdoor transmitters are water resistant but not water proof.
Avoid more than one wall between the transmitter and the Clock.
Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that
RF (radio frequency) signals do not travel well through moisture or dirt.
Place the outdoor transmitter and the Clock in the desired shaded locations, and
wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to
ensure that there is proper reception.
Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the
effective range.
Voltage needs to be higher than 2.5V to maintain normal operation. If the
voltage is below 2.5V, place the TX62U-IT in a window in the full sun for a day
or two (or under a lamp).
