We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as temperature stations.
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.
Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years 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.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment. A minimum voltage of 1.48V for
each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Outdoor Transmitters
: Use Alkaline batteries (or Lithium for temperatures below - 20°F/-
28.8°C)
Temperature station
: Use Alkaline batteries. Overpowered or underpowered batteries may
cause loss of indoor readings, missing segments, dim display etc.
Temperature Station Factory Restart
Remove all batteries from outdoor sensor and temperature station.
Press one of the buttons on the temperature station at least 20 times to clear all memory.
Verify that the temperature station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on
the screen).
Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
Insert fresh batteries into the temperature station.
Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the temperature station.
When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the
outdoor sensor and temperature station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong
connection.
Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
For optimum 433MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be a distance of no more
than 300 feet (91 meters, open air) from the Temperature station.
See the section on
distance/resistance/interference
the outdoor transmitter.
Outdoor Temperature Transmitter

The TX45UTH-IT (915MHz) will work with this station.
Fahrenheit/Celsius
Use the program menu to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Flashing Outdoor Temperature
The outdoor Temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or intermittent
between the temperature station and the outdoor transmitter.
is generally the cause of intermittent connection or loss of connection
between the transmitter and the temperature station.
Check the

of the temperature station. Turn the temperature station 90 degrees
towards the outdoor transmitter for better reception.
