the transmitter under a bright environment in order to charge up the rechargeable batteries inside the transmitter. SETTING UP 1. To start the operation, first, press the reset button on the Solar Temperature Transmitter. Normally, all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. The code number and the security code (for example, “20”) will be TX61 TX61U 61U-IT displayed sequentially. Next, the battery voltage will be shown on the LCD, it should be higher than 2.4V in order to maintain the normal Wireless 915 MHz operation. The instant temperature can be read on the transmitter, and the transmitter starts the transmission of signal. Solar Temperature Transmitter 2. Within 2 minutes of the start up of transmitter, insert the batteries to the Temperature Station. Once the batteries of the Temperature Station are The TX61U-IT Solar Temperature Transmitter measures the outdoor in place, all segments of the Temperature Station’s LCD will light up temperature and transfers the data to the Temperature Station. briefly. The indoor data will be first displayed on the Temperature Station, and then the outdoor data. Following the indoor temperature and the time as 12:00 will be displayed on the Temperature Station. If they are not shown in the LCD of Temperature Station after 30 seconds, user should Solar cell reinstall the batteries of the Temperature Station again. Once the indoor data is displayed user may proceed to the next step for receiving outdoor LCD data. 3. After the Temperature station is powered up, it will start receiving outdoor Reset button data signal from the Solar Temperature Transmitter. During the process, the signal reception and re-synchronization process will try the following frequencies: 903MHz, 915MHz and 927MHz. If this does not happen after INVENTORY OF CONTENTS 5 minutes, the batteries of the Temperature Station should be removed 1.
