• The forecast icons are determined by the station's barometric
pressure reading. Please allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration.
• Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict
weather conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
• When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast is RAIN
or T-STORM, the station will display SNOW.

• The numbers below represent the hour in which the reading was
taken. Where “0h” is the current pressure level. “-3h” was the
reading taken three hours ago, compared to current pressure.
• The bar chart will constantly scroll to avoid burnout of the LCD. This
feature cannot be turned off.

• To mount the sensor, use the hole at the top to
either hang it from the back using a nail, or
insert one mounting screw through the front
• Mount the TX141TH-Bv2 sensor on a
north-facing wall or in any shaded area. Under
an eave or deck rail is preferred.
• The maximum wireless transmission range to
the weather station is over 330 feet
(100 meters) in open air, not including walls
or oors.
• Be sure the sensor is mounted vertically, to
allow moisture to drain out properly.
• Watch sensor mounting video:

Position Weather Station
• Pull out the stand and place on a at surface.
• Or use the three hanging holes on the back to mount on a wall.
• Choose a location 6 feet or more away from electronics
such as cordless phones, gaming systems, televisions,
microwaves, routers, etc.
• Place within range of the outdoor sensors (330 ft, 100m
open air).
• Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and
large metal objects can reduce the range.
