INITIAL SET UP:
IMPORTANT:- Do Not Mix Old and New Batteries
- Do Not Mix Alkaline, Standard, or Rechargeable Batteries
NOTE: This temperature station can receive one transmitter only.
First, insert fresh 2x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V alkaline batteries into the TX43U transmitter, observing the
correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). Keep transmitter 5-10 feet from the
temperature station.
Within 30 seconds of powering up the transmitter, insert 2x AAA, IEC LR3, 1.5V batteries into the
Temperature Station, observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). Once
the batteries are in place, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Following, the indoor
temperature will display. If the indoor temperature does not show in the LCD after 60 seconds,
remove the batteries and wait for at least 60 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is
displayed, proceed to the next step.
After the batteries are inserted, the Temperature Station will start receiving outdoor temp data from
the transmitter. The outdoor temperature should be displayed on the Temperature station. If this does
not happen after 2 minutes, remove the batteries from both units and start again from the beginning.
In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission, place the outdoor transmitter a distance of no
more than 100 feet (30 meters) from the Temperature Station and the transmitter.
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. When batteries will
need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear on the LCD in front of the outdoor
temperature. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover. (Slide to the bottom and then lift straight off).
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover to the unit.
NOTE: When changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by
following the set up procedures. The transmitter at start-up, assigns a random security
code and this code must be received and stored by the Temperature Station in the first
few minutes of power supplied.
INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE STATION
The Temperature Station uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3 1.5V batteries. When batteries
need to be replaced, the low battery icon will appear in front of the indoor
temperature.
To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace battery compartment cover.
LOW BATTERY:
Replace the batteries in all units every 12 months to ensure optimum accuracy of these units. A low
battery icon will display next to the outdoor temperature when the transmitter batteries are low and next to
the indoor temperature then the batteries in the temperature station are low.

SET TIME:
12/24-HOUR TIME: Hold the CF/SET button until 12hr or 24hr flashes in the lower
right hand corner. Press and release the MIX/MAX/+ button to switch between 12-hour
and 24-hour time. Press the CF/SET button once to continue.
HOUR: The Hour will flash. Press and release the MIX/MAX/+ button to change the
hour. Press the CF/SET button once to continue.
MINUTES: The minutes will flash. Press and release the MIX/MAX/+ button to change
the minutes.
NOTE: Hold the MIX/MAX/+ button to move quickly through the numbers. Press
CF/SET once to confirm and exit.
TEMPERATURE SELECTION:
FAHRENHEIT/CELSIUS: Press and release the CF/SET button once to switch from Fahrenheit to
Celsius.
FOUR LEVEL RF INDICATORS: The temperature station will indicate strength of signal
reception from the outdoor transmitter by the number of bars on the RF indicator icon.
4-bars: Shows after initial set up and stays when reception is at full strength.
3-bars: Indicates one reception failure from the outdoor transmitter.
2-bars: Indicates two reception failures from the outdoor transmitter.
1-bar: Indicates three reception failures from the outdoor transmitter.
0-bars: Indicates four reception failures from the outdoor transmitter.
The antenna symbol will flash on initial set while searching for the signal. If it fails to receive a signal after
63 minutes the temperature station will display dashes (“--.-“). The temperature station will search again
for a signal for 3 minutes every next hour.
MIN/MAX RECORDING:
VIEW MIN/MAX: Press the MIN/MAX/+ button view indoor and outdoor MAX, MIN and Current
temperature.
RESET MIN/MAX: Hold the MIN/MAX/+ button for 3 seconds to reset all MIN/MAX readings to current
temperatures.
OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER RESET BUTTON:
The Temperature Transmitter has a RESET button. Use a small pointed object to gently press and
release to send a signal. Follow the instructions for in SET UP regarding the display.
NOTE: Removing power from the transmitter and display negates the need for the RESET button.
POSITIONING THE TEMPERATURE STATION:
Stand the Temperature Station on a tabletop, counter or desk, or mount on a wall. Ensure that the
Temperature Station continuously receives the 433MHz signal from the Sensor before mounting it in the
desired location.
WALL MOUNT
Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16 of an
inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
Place the Temperature Station onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the
backside. Gently pull the Temperature Station down to lock into place.
NOTE: Always ensure that the Temperature Station locks onto the screw before
releasing the station.
TABLE STAND: The Temperature Station has a wide base to stand on a desk or table.

POSITIONING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:
Wall mount using the hole on the back of the sensor. Best location is under the eave (12-18 inches) on
the North side of the home.
WALL MOUNT:
1. Install a mounting screw (not included) into a wall—leaving approximately 3/16 of an
inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
2. Place the temperature transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the
backside. Gently pull the transmitter down to lock into place
NOTE: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.
TABLE STAND: Not recommended as the transmitter may be blown over and
damaged.
NOTE:The mounting surface can affect the transmission range. If, for instance, the transmitter is
attached to a piece of metal, it may reduce the transmitting range. For this reason, we recommend not to
place the unit on any metal surfaces or in any position where a large metal or highly polished surface is in
the immediate vicinity (garage doors, double-glazing, etc.). Before securing in place, please ensure that
the Temperature Station can receive the 433MHz signal from the temperature transmitter at the positions
that you wish to place them.
Place the remote temperature transmitter outside in a dry, shaded area. The remote temperature
transmitter has a range of 100 feet (30 meters). Keep in mind this distance is in open air with no
obstructions and that radio waves DO NOT curve to go around objects. Real-world transmission range
will vary depending on what is in the path of the signal. Each obstruction (roof, walls, floors, ceilings,
thick trees, etc.) will effectively cut signal range in half.
MAINTENANCE:
Keep the temperature station in a dry place.
Do not expose the display to extreme temperatures, vibration or shock.
Clean it with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or scouring agents.
If the unit does not work properly, change the battery.
