Setup Instructions Step-by-Step
STEP 1:
• Slide the battery cover tab down and pull out to remove the battery cov er.
• Insert two new AA batteries (not included) into the back of the Temperature Station. Observe the
correct polarit y ( see marki ng insi de the battery compartment).
• The Temperature Station will light up and show, indoor tem per ature.
• Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
• Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, Lithium or Rechargeabl e B atteries
STEP 2:
• Ensure that the t r ansmit ter is within 10 feet of the Temperature Station.
• Remove battery cover from TX141-A transmitt er. Sli de the bat tery cover down and lift off the front of
the transmitter.
• Insert two new AA batteries into the transmit ter. Observe the correct polarity.
• Within three minutes the Temperature Stati on will show readings in the outdoor temper ature area on
the LCD.
Note: Allow the Temper ature Station and the transmitter to stay wit hin 10 feet of each other for the first
15 minutes of set up.
Troubleshooting
After the bat teries are inserted, the Temperature Station will search for the outdoor temperature
transmitter for 3 minutes.
The antenna sym bol will flash during reception, and temper ature display will be dashes “---“.
No antenna symbol will show during RF (radio frequency) synchroni z ation.
If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.
If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.
If RF (radio frequency ) r ec eption fails five times, the antenna symbol will show:
The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio fr equenc y ) r ec eption.
Search for Transmitter
If the outdoor temperature is not displayed after three minutes, hol d the SENSO R SEARCH butt on on
the temperatur e station for three seconds to search for outdoor t r ansmitter.
Next remove the bat tery cover from the TX141-A transmitter then press the
TX button to send a signal.
If it still does not r ec eive the outdoor temperature, remov e the bat teries from
both the temperature station and the transmitter for 15 mi nutes 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, conc r ete and large metal objects can reduce the range.

• Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
• Do Not Mix Alkaline, Lithiu m, Standard or Rechargeable Batteri es
If the Temperature Station does not display indoor temperature after 60
seconds, remove adapter and batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds
before repeati ng the setup process.
Install Batteries in the Outdoor Transmitter
1. Slide the battery cover down, then lift off the front of the transmitter.
2. I nsert two new AA batteries into the transmitter. Observe the correct polari ty ( see marki ng
inside batter y compar tment).
3. Keep transmitter 5-10 ft. from the Temperature Station during setup.
4. After 15 minutes, if the outdoor tem per ature shows on the Temperature Station, you can
move the outdoor transmi tter outside to a shaded location within range of the Temperature
Station.
Care and Maintenance
• Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
• Do Not Mix Alkaline, Lithiu m, Standard or Rechargeable Batteri es
• Do not expose the Temperature Station to extreme temperatures, v ibration or shock. Keep dry.
• Clean Temperature Station with a soft dam p cl oth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
• The Temperature Station is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
• The Temperature Station is not to be used for medical purpose or for public informati on. It is for home
use only.
• The specifications of this Temperature Station may change without prior notice.
• Improper use or unauthorized opening of housing will void the warranty.
• I f the Temperature S tation does not work properly, change the batteries.
Position the Temperature Station
Choose a location f or the Temper ature Station that is within range of the outdoor transmitter. The
Temperature Stati on has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.
La Crosse Technology Page 7
• Choose a location 6 f eet or more from elec tronics such as cordless phones, gaming systems,
televi sions, micr owaves, routers, baby monitors, et c., which can prevent signal reception.
• Be aware of electric al wir es and pl um bing 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 r ec eive a signal.
Positio n t he Outdoor Transmitt e r
Once the Temperature Station shows the outdoor temper ature, place it and the transmitter in the desired
locations and wait approximately 1 hour before permanentl y mounting the transmitter to ensure that there
is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted v ertic ally, in a shaded, protected area, at least 6
feet from the ground to avoid dam age and ensure acc ur ate readings. The transmitter is water resistant,
not waterproof and shoul d not be placed anywhere it will become submer ged in water or subj ec t 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.
Option 1:
• Install one mounting screw (included) into a wall leavi ng approximately ½ of an inch
(12.7mm) extended.
• Place the transmitter onto the screw using the hanging hole on the backside.
• Gently pull the transmi tter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
• Insert the mounting screw through the front of the transmitter and into the wall.
• Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
To achieve a true temperature reading, mount where direct sunl ight cannot reach the outdoor transmitt er .
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, c onc r ete, and large metal objects can reduc e the range. Place the transmitter
at least 6 feet in the air to im prove signal transmission.
