Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
- Main Unit: If using optional AA batteries for backup, replace them when the low battery indicator appears on the display.
- Outdoor Sensor: Replace the 2 AA batteries in the TX141TH-Bv2 sensor when the low battery indicator for the remote sensor appears on the main unit.
2. Cleaning
Wipe the display and unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or chemicals.
3. Sensor Placement
Ensure the outdoor sensor remains in a shaded, well-ventilated location to avoid inaccurate readings due to direct sunlight or heat sources. Protect it from heavy rain or snow to prolong its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your monitor, try the following solutions:
- No Outdoor Readings: Ensure the outdoor sensor has fresh batteries and is within the 300-foot range of the main unit. Try re-syncing the sensor by removing batteries from both units, then reinserting them first into the sensor, then into the main unit.
- Inaccurate Readings: Verify the outdoor sensor is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or reflective surfaces. Compare indoor readings with another reliable thermometer.
- Display Not Working: Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged in. If using backup batteries, check if they are fresh and correctly inserted.
