Troubleshooting
After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will search for the outdoor temperature
transmitter for 3 minutes.
The antenna symbol will flash during reception, and temperature display will be dashes “---“.
No antenna symbol will show during RF (radio frequency) synchronization.
If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.
If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.
If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show:
The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.
Search for Transmitter
If the outdoor temperature is not displayed after three minutes, hold the SENSOR SEARCH button on
the temperature station for three seconds to search for outdoor transmitter.
Next remove the battery cover from the TX141-A transmitter then press the
TX button to send a signal.
If it still does not receive the outdoor temperature, remove the batteries from
both the temperature station and the transmitter for 15 minutes 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, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.

before repeating the setup process.
Install Batteries in the Outdoor Transmitter
1. Slide the battery cover down, then lift off the front of the transmitter.
2. Insert two new AA batteries into the transmitter. Observe the correct polarity (see marking
inside battery compartment).
3. Keep transmitter 5-10 ft. from the Temperature Station during setup.

move the outdoor transmitter 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, Lithium, Standard or Rechargeable Batteries
•Do not expose the Temperature Station to extreme temperatures, vibration or shock. Keep dry.
•Clean Temperature Station with a soft damp cloth. 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 information. 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.
•If the Temperature Station does not work properly, change the batteries.
Position the Temperature Station
Choose a location for the Temperature Station that is within range of the outdoor transmitter. The
Temperature Station has a built in base stand to sit on a table or desk.

La Crosse Technology Page 8
•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 Temperature Station is facing the
outdoor transmitter. This allows a larger portion of the antenna to receive a signal.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the Temperature Station shows the outdoor temperature, place it and the transmitter in the desired
locations and wait approximately 1 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 Temperature
Station and under an overhang for accuracy.
Option 1:
•Install one mounting screw (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 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 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.
