Quick Setup
Step 1: Insert the 5 volt AC cord (included) into the wall outlet then into the weather station.
Step 2: Insert 3 new AAA Alkaline batteries (included) into the weather station. Observe the
correct polarity.
Step 3: Insert 2 new AA batteries (included) into the TX141TH-B remote sensor. Observe the
correct polarity. The red LED will flashes during transmission.
Restart: If there is no remote temperature data after 3 minutes, unplug the AC adapter and
remove batteries from the weather station & remote sensor for 15 minutes. Return to Step 1.

Indoor Comfort Display
The indoor comfort display is based off of the humidity read by the weather station. Air that is too
dry or too wet can cause discomfort. The weather station will automatically display the indoor
comfort of your home with a simple statement:
Heat Index/Dew Point/Mold Risk Indicator
The HEAT/DEW button toggles between Heat Index, Dew Point, and Mold Risk.
Each feature will display for 10 seconds then return to defualt disply is the button
is not pressed again.
Heat Index
Heat Index combines the effects of heat and humidity. It is the apparent temperature of how hot
it feels to a human being. As humidity increases, the body is unable to cool effectively; therefore,
the temperature will feel warmer.
View Heat Index: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button once and Heat Index will
show in place of the remote temperature.
Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the remote temperature is
above 80 °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 a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button twice and
Dew Point will show place of the remote temperature.
Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.
Mold Risk Indicator
Mold Risk is based on temperature and humidity. Monitor the mold risk for two separate areas
using the indoor weather station and multi-use remote sensor. Place the remote sensor outdoors
to monitor backyard weather conditions, or use it indoors to monitor high mold risk areas like in a
crawl space or a basement.
View Mold Risk Indoor and Remote locations: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button
three times and the Mold Risk will show next to the remote and indoor humidity.

Temperature/Humidity Trend indicators
The indoor and outdoor temperature/humidity trend indicators will update every 30 minutes or
less. These trends represent temperature changes over the past three hours.
Example: At 1:00pm, the arrow indicates the change in temperature since 10:00am. At 1:30pm,
the arrow will indicate the temperature change since 10:30am.
Temperature has risen in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has risen in the past 3 hours.
Temperature has not changed in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has not changed in the past 3 hours.
Temperature has fallen in the past 3 hours.
Humidity has fallen in the past 3 hours.
Search for Remote Sensor
Hold the HEAT/DEW button to search for the remote sensor.
The strength signal icon will animate until the sensor signal is received or for 3
minutes if no signal available.
MIN/MAX (View, Reset)
The Weather station provides the daily minimum and maximum temperatures each day
starting at midnight (12:00 AM). The Weather station automatically resets the min/max
temperatures at midnight (12:00 AM).
View MIN data: Press and release the ▼button to view the minimum Indoor and Remote
Temperatures.
Reset MIN data: Hold the ▼button for five seconds and the Indoor and Remote Minimum
Temperatures will be reset.
View MAX data: Press and release the ▲button to view the maximum Indoor and Remote
Temperatures.
Reset MAX data: Hold the ▲button for five seconds and the Indoor and all Remote Maximum
Temperatures will be reset.
Note: The temperature areas will show dashes briefly then return to current temperatures.
Animated Color Forecast Icons
Animated forecast icons use changing atmospheric pressure to predict weather conditions for the
next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
INTELLIGENT WEATHER FORECAST
This station learns; please allow 3 to 4 weeks for barometric calibration. This will ensure an
accurate personal forecast for your location.

Model: C83332/C83349 www.lacrossetechnology.com/support Page | 11
The Weather station samples the barometric pressure every twelve minutes.
These samples are averaged hourly and daily then stored in nonvolatile memory.
The three hour pressure icon change is based off of the last four average hourly readings.
IMPORTANT: As the Weather station builds memory, it will compare the current average
pressure to the past forty day average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Weather
station operates in one location, the more accurate the forecast icons will be.
The icons forecast the weather in terms of getting better or worse and not necessarily sunny or
rainy as each icon indicates. For example, if the current weather is cloudy and the rainy icon is
displayed, it does not mean that the product is faulty because it is not raining. It simply means
that the air pressure has dropped and the weather is expected to get worse, but not necessarily
rainy.
Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed. The weather
forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to the varying areas
the Weather station has been designed for use. In areas that experience sudden changes in
weather (for example from sunny to rain), the Weather station will be more accurate compared to
use in areas where the weather is stagnant most of the time (for example mostly sunny).
Forecast Tendency Indicators (Up, Right, Down Arrows)
Working with the forecast icons, the tendency indicators let you know if the weather is improving,
steady or worsening.
Rising Pressure Weather is
Expected to Improve
Steady Pressure Weather is
Expected to Stay the Same
Falling Pressure Weather is
Expected to Worsen
Manual WWVB Time Signal Search
