Tips!

C85845 Display

*Primary power requires 5.0V power adapter, for adjustable brightness settings. Optional, use of 3 AA alkaline batteries (not included) provides backup for temporary power loss. If using on batteries-only: Backlight settings (HI/LOW/OFF) will not function and temporary illumination activates for several seconds, as this is a power-saving feature.

TX141TH-B wireless weather-resistant sensor

⁠*Recommend mounting sensor vertically, out-of-direct sunlight & well-ventilated sheltered location. Metal siding, stucco, and some types of glass can greatly reduce the signal's range.

Outdoor Temperature (reads dashed lines, or HH.H, or LL.L)

Quick Connect

Explanation: Use the quick connect for a weather station and outdoor sensor that have been working but lost connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not the same as a thorough factory reset.

1. Bring the outdoor sensor and weather station together inside and place the units 5-10 feet apart with nothing between them.

2. Hold TEMP button for 5 seconds. The outdoor temperature area will flash.

3. Remove battery cover from the outdoor sensor and press and release the TX button to send the signal.

4. Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor temperature to appear on the weather station.

Factory Restart: If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.

1. Remove all power (batteries and AC) from outdoor sensor and weather station.

2. Press one of the buttons on the weather station at least 20 times to clear all memory.

3. Verify that the weather station is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on the screen that will show when there is no power).

4. Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).

5. Insert the AC power cord into the wall outlet then into the weather station.

6. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.

7. Press the TX button on the outdoor sensor to transmit RF signal.

8. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the weather station.

9. When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the outdoor sensor and weather station to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.

10. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.

For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the outdoor sensor no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open air) from the weather station. See owner's instructional manual for distance/resistance/interference details for properly mounting the outdoor sensor.

A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.

Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.

Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Accurate, easy to use, nice display
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021
Very accurate and I really like the display. A few days after I bought this WeatherStation (C85845-1), they discontinued it and came out with a newer model (308-1414B-INT) I decided to see how well it worked and how much I liked they display.

In my opinion, the display on this older version is less cluttered and easier to read than the newer version, but that is personal preference. I think it also looks cleaner with the buttons hidden. It was a few dollars less than the newer version. It does everything I need which is inside and outside temperature and humidity. Interestingly, it has a bunch of alarms you can set for high temp, low temp, high humidity, low humidity etc.

I compared the lacrosse weather station with temperature and humidity I had on other devices. They were all within a degree of each other and a few percent humidity. I even used a Digital temperature gun to double check all the thermometers. I've checked it over a few days and it continues to be quite consistent. I have a north facing metal overhang that I can attach sensor unit to, with some padding to avoid transmitting any heat or cool from the overhang to the sensor. The sensors stay out of the sun and the rain, which is important.

I had a previous lacrosse model that was also a rain station. It was more basic and it chewed through batteries like crazy. This lacrosse model is powered by an AC adapter with battery back up. When you unplug the AC adapter, the display will stay lit for a few seconds and then it will dim. But you can still read it if you need to.

Like my other lacrosse unit, I found this one intuitive to use and it provides the useful information I need. I only had it turned on for about three days and I saw the forecast display change from "sunny" to "cloudy." Sure enough, it was cloudy all day.

I appreciate they put a dimmer on it as well as I have this in my den and I can dim the display when I watch TV. I don't get rain amounts anymore but I can get that from a slew of Wunder-stations in my neighborhood. I do like that I can get the precise temperature and humidity outside. We live in a hilly area so there are microclimates everywhere.

If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive, yet fairly full featured Basic WeatherStation, I don't think you'll go wrong with either finding this model on sale or the new model (308-1414B-INT). I have attached a picture to show well the looks like when I look at it from my chair

... you will need to address the Power Supply issue as mentioned in many other reviews.

Unfortunately these devices only come supplied with a 110V mini Plug Pack, they are not designed to run from 240V even with a basic travel adaptor. Fortunately however they only need 5V which is the same voltage a USB port can produce so as per my pics all you need is to purchase an inexpensive USB to 3.5x1.35mm DC cable, connect it to an old USB Charger/Plugpack (or any USB port) and you're done! As seen in the photo, I'm using a USB Powerbank purely to demonstrate how easy this is to achieve but of course I'm using a small USB plugpack in its permanent location.

Note: the right-angle plug on the cable I bought off eBay (item: 154527783652) is a bit larger than the original so although it fits and works perfectly it isn't as neat & tidy as it could be.
