1 Wireless Weather Station Model 308-1711 | Quick Setup Guide The Wireless Weather Station features manual set time, date, time alarm, Outdoor/Indoor temperature alerts, and moon phase. Monitor temperature and humidity, track temperature trends and set customizable temperature alerts--all in one convenient device. Wireless transmission range of over 200 feet (60 meters) in open air, from transmitter to weather station. SETUP INSTRUCTIONS STEP BY STEP STEP 1: • Remove battery cover from the weather station. Slide tab down and pull out to remove the battery cover. • Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the back of the weather station. Observe the correct polarity (see marking inside the battery compartment). The weather station will light up and show, indoor temperature, humidity and time. • Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries • Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeable Batteries STEP 2: • Ensure that the transmitter is within 10 feet of the Weather Station. • To remove battery cover from TX141TH-A transmitter, slide the battery cover down and lift off the front of the transmitter. • Insert 2 NEW AA batteries (not included) into the transmitter. Observe the correct polarity. • Within 3 minutes the weather station will show readings in the outdoor temperature area on the LCD. • Note: Allow the weather station and the transmitter to stay within 10 feet of each other for the first 15 minutes of set up. TRANSMITTER SIGNAL STRENGTH z After the batteries are inserted, the weather station will search for the outdoor temperature/humidity transmitter for 3 minutes. z The antenna symbol will flash during reception, and temperature display will be dashes “---“. z The antenna symbol will scroll during signal synchronization. z If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar. z If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars. z If reception continuously fails to receive 5 times, the antenna symbol will be shown as . z The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception. TROUBLESHOOTING z If the outdoor temperature is not displayed after three minutes, hold the SENSOR button on the weather station for three seconds to search for outdoor transmitter. z Next, press the TX button on the outdoor transmitter to send signal. z If it still does not receive the outdoor temperature, remove batteries from both the weather station and the transmitter for 15 minutes then repeat the setup instructions from step 1. z The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters).

It is the apparent temperature of how hot it feels to a human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively. The temperature will feel warmer. View Heat Index: From normal time and temperature display mode, press the HEAT/DEW button once and Heat Index will show instead of the outdoor ambient temperature. Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor temperature is above 80 degrees °F (26.7°C) DEW POINT TEMPERATURE Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to cool in order to create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature. View Dew Point Temperature: From normal time and temperature display mode, press the HEAT/DEW button twice and Dew Point will show instead of the outdoor ambient temperature. The words Dew Point will show near outdoor temperatures. Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature. MOON PHASE The Moon Phase is based on the date manually set on the weather station. The moon is divided by 6 sections, showing a total of 12 phases of the moon. LOW BATTERY
3 • When this low battery icon appears in the indoor (IN) reading section, replace the batteries in the weather station. • When this low battery icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) readings section, replace the batteries in the outdoor transmitter. POSITION THE WEATHER STATION Choose a location for the weather station that is within range (200 feet, 60 meters) of the outdoor transmitter. The weather station has a build in base stand 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 weather 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 weather station shows the outdoor temperature/humidity, place it and the transmitter in the desired locations and wait approximately one 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 Weather station and under an overhang for accuracy. The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 200-feet (60 meters). Option 1: • Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch (12.7mm) extended. • Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside. • Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place. Option 2: • Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the transmitter and into the wall. • Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten). To achieve a true temperature/humidity reading, mount where direct sunlight cannot reach the outdoor transmitter. Mount the outdoor transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. Under an eave or deck rail work well. 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. Place the transmitter at least 6 feet in the air to improve signal transmission.
