7.  Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.   

8.  Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station. 

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

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 outdoor 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 outdoor 

sensor. 

 

Outdoor Temperature Transmitter 

 

Compatible Outdoor Transmitters 

 

  A TX142THv3 outdoor transmitter comes packaged with this forecast station.  

  The TX142TH (all versions), 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.  

  We recommend alkaline batteries for the transmitter. 

  You may choose to use lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C. 

 

Outdoor Temperature changes constantly 

 

  You may have an additional compatible outdoor transmitter withi

range

. 

  Occasionally a neighbor will have a compatible outdoor transmitter that is within range. 

 

Check

 

Channels

:

 Confirm that the channel selected on the outdoor transmitter matches the channel 

shown on the forecast station.
