Outdoor Temperature Transmitter
Compatible Outdoor Transmitters
A TX142TH outdoor transmitter comes packaged with this forecast station.
The TX142TH, TX14TH, TX14TH-LCD-G and TX14TH-LCD-B (433MHz) transmitters are compatible
with this forecast station.
Quick Connect
Explanation:
The quick connect is used for a weather station 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 weather station together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart with
nothing between them.
2.
Hold the CH button on the weather station. 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.
4.
Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the weather station.
Factory Restart:
If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.
Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature
Explanation:
Dashes mean the connection is lost between the weather station and the outdoor sensor.
Batteries
often resolve the connection.
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of connection between the outdoor sensor and the weather
station.
Turn the weather station 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor to provide better reception. This
allows more antenna surface to face the outdoor sensor signal.
Try the
quick connect
or
factory restart.
Power Requirements
2-AA
batteries
power the outdoor transmitter.
