Projection Alarm Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the projection alarm and outdoor sensor to an “out-of-the-box”
state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and projection alarm.
2. Press one of the buttons on the projection alarm at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the projection alarm is blank before proceeding (some lines are painted on the screen and
will show with batteries out).
4. Leave unpowered for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert the AC cord into the wall outlet then into the projection alarm.
6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.
8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the projection alarm.
9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor
sensor and projection alarm 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 projection alarm.
See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on mounting the outdoor
sensor.
Outdoor Temperature Sensor
Compatible Outdoor Sensors
The TX141-B3, TX141-B or TX141 outdoor sensor comes packaged with this projection alarm. These
sensors are not interchangeable. Be sure to check the model before ordering.
The TX141B (all versions),and TX141-A (433MHz) outdoor sensors are compatible with the
projection alarm sold with the TX141-Bv2 sensor.
Quick Connect
Explanation: The quick connect is used for a projection alarm 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 projection alarm together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart
with nothing between them.
2. Hold the +/TEMP button on the projection alarm. 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 projection alarm.
Factory Restart: If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. www.lacrossetechnology.com/support Page 3
Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items
sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have
an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will
maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can
deplete the power.
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the outdoor sensors.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment.
Power Requirements
2-AA batteries power the outdoor sensor.
We recommend Alkaline batteries for the outdoor sensor.
You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C.
Dashes show for Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the projection alarm and the outdoor sensor.
Batteries often resolve the connection.
Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the outdoor sensor and the projection
alarm.
Turn the projection alarm 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.
Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: High outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low outdoor temperature
readings are power related or a sensors going bad.
The outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside the home, it
will read inside temperature.
When the outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a positioning problem.
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat.
Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the projection alarm for 2
hours.
Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4 degrees to be within
tolerance.
If the outdoor sensor reads correctly when next to the projection alarm, try a different location outside.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Intermittent problems are the hardest to resolve. RF (radio frequency) communication may
come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If outdoor
sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own.
Move the outdoor sensor to a closer location.
Distance/Resistance can cause loss of outdoor sensor signal.
Check Batteries.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. www.lacrossetechnology.com/support Page 4
Freezer test: Confirm the projection alarm is reading the correct outdoor sensor. Place the outdoor
sensor in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the projection alarm.
Indoor distance test: Please complete the Restart with outdoor sensor and projection alarm 5-10 feet
apart and inside to establish a strong connection.
After 15 minutes, if there is a reading in the outdoor temperature area, move the outdoor sensor to
another room with one wall between the outdoor sensor and the projection alarm.
Observe to see if the temperature remains on consistently for 1 hour.
If the temperature remains on while in the house, then it is likely a distance/resistance issue.
Move the outdoor sensor to different locations outside to find a location where the temperature
reading will hold.
Outdoor Temperature is stuck or HH.H, LL.L
Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the outdoor sensor is outside of its readable
range.
Check Batteries.Overpowered or underpowered batteries can cause this reading.
Replace outdoor sensor.
Note: The last outdoor reading may remain (not change) for several hours when connection is lost. The
outdoor temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or intermittent.
Outdoor sensor drains batteries quickly
Test a new set of alkaline batteries. Write down the date of installation and the voltage of the
batteries.
When the batteries fail, please note the date and voltage again.
Check the distance and resistance between the outdoor sensor and projection alarm. Outdoor
sensors at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit.
Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the outdoor sensor.
Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline and Lithium
batteries.
Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works
Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal
damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the outdoor sensor. Batteries that have
fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly.
Complete a Restart with fresh batteries.
Use Batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Note: An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely have water
damage and needs to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.

Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
Choose a location 6 feet or more from electronics such as cordless phones, wireless gaming
systems, televisions, microwaves, routers, baby monitors, etc., which can prevent signal reception.
Be aware of electrical wires and plumbing within a wall. This will interfere with RF (radio frequency)
signal reception.
Distance/Resistance/Interference
Distance:
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters) between the outdoor
sensor and the projection alarm. This range is in open air with ideal conditions.
Consider what is in the signal path between the projection alarm and the outdoor sensor.
Avoid placing electronic in the signal path between the projection alarm and the outdoor sensor.
Resistance:
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
When considering the distance between the outdoor sensor and the projection alarm (330 feet open
air), cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other obstruction in the signal path.
Closer is better.
Windows reflect the RF (radio frequency) signal.
Metal absorbs the signal and reduces the range.
Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs the signal.
Do not mount the outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
Consider items in the signal path between the outdoor sensor and the projection alarm.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd. www.lacrossetechnology.com/support Page 6

Position the Atomic Projection Alarm for better reception.
Hold the -/TIME button to send the Atomic Projection Alarm on a signal search at night.
Allow up to 5 nights to receive the time signal.
Moon Phase
The eight phases of the moon shown below are determined by the year, month, and date set on the
Atomic Projection Alarm.
Note: With the moon shown against a light colored background, the phases will show opposite to a paper
calendar. The segments that are highlighted portray the part of the moon that is lit. For instance, the
moon will be blank during a new moon and dark during a full moon.
New Moon occurs when the moon is between the earth and sun so the illuminated portion of the
moon is on the backside facing the sun and we cannot see it. After a new moon, the illuminated
portion will increase or wax until the full moon occurs.
Full Moon occurs when the earth, moon, and sun are in approximate alignment, with the moon and
the sun on opposite sides of the earth. The illuminated portion of the moon faces the earth, giving us
complete visibility of one side of the entire moon. After a full moon, the illuminated portion will
decrease or wane until the new moon occurs.
First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90-degree angle to the earth
and sun. Therefore, we see half of the moon illuminated and half is in shadow.
Waxing means growing or expanding illumination and happens after a new moon.
Waning means decreasing illumination and occurs after a full moon.
Crescent refers to the moon being less than half-illuminated. Crescents can be waning or waxing.
Gibbous describes a moon phase when more than half is illuminated. Gibbous can be waxing or
waning.
Backlight: Projection Alarm with TX141-Bv2 sensor
The backlight will come on for 5 seconds when the SNOOZE/LIGHT button is pressed.
