Wireless Temperature Station Model: 308-179 | Quick Setup Guide The Wireless Temperature Station features manual set time, date, alarm with snooze, indoor and outdoor temperature with high and low outdoor temperature alarms. Large temperature digits provide temperature at a glance. Wireless transmission range of over 200 feet (60 meters) in open air, from transmitter to temperature station. After the batteries are inserted, the weather station will search for the outdoor temperature transmitter for 3 minutes. The antenna symbol will flash during reception, and temperature display will be dashes “---“. The antenna symbol will scroll during signal synchronization. If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar. If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars. If reception continuously fails to receive 5 times, the antenna symbol will be shown as . The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception. TROUBLESHOOTING If the outdoor temperature is not displayed after three minutes, hold the SENSOR SEARCH button on the temperature station for three seconds to search for outdoor transmitter. Next remove the battery cover from the TX141-Av2 transmitter then press the TX button to send a signal. If it still does not receive the outdoor temperature, remove the batteries from both the temperature station and the transmitter for 15 minutes repeat setup instructions from step 1. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters). Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range. TIME/DATE The TIME/DATE button moves through the program menu and confirm settings. The UP arrow (on back) will increase a selected value. The DOWN arrow (on back) will decrease a selected value.

The Temperature Station has a built in base to sit on a table or desk. • Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception. • Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. • Best reception is achieved when the front or the back of the Temperature Station is facing the outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal. POSITION THE WIRELESS OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER Once the Temperature Station shows the outdoor temperature, place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately 1-hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow. Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Temperature Station and under an overhang for accuracy. • Improper use or unauthorized opening of housing will void the warranty. If the weather station does not work properly, change the batteries.
