TS33F-M SENSOR IS COMPATIBLE WITH ALL  
MEADE INSTRUMENTS WIRELESS WEATHER STATIONS  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
• The remote sensor can be placed indoors or outdoors.  
• We recommend using alkaline batteries for the remote  
sensor when temperatures are above 32°F (0°C). We  
recommend using AA lithium batteries when temperatures  
are below 32°F (0°C).  
• Avoid using rechargeable batteries. (Rechargeable batteries  
cannot maintain correct power requirements).  
• Insert batteries before first use, matching the polarity in the  
battery compartment.  
ALWAYS install batteries in the remote sensor before the  
main unit.  
• Press RESET after each battery change with a paper clip  
or similar tool.  
• During an initial setup, place the main unit as close as  
possible to the remote sensor.  
• After reception is established (the remote temperature and  
humidity will appear on the main unit's display), position  
the remote sensor and the main unit within the effective  
transmission range of 100 feet (30 meters).  
NOTE:  
1. Avoid setting manually the time and date on the main unit  
before the remote temperature is displayed.  
2. The effective operating range may be influenced by the  
surrounding building materials and how the receiver  
(main unit) and transmitter (remote sensor) are positioned.  
3. Place the remote sensor so that it faces the main unit  
(receiver), minimizing obstructions such as doors, walls,  
and furniture.  
4. Though the remote sensors are weather-resistant, they  
should be placed away from direct sunlight, rain or snow.  
NOTE: When the temperature falls below freezing, the  
batteries in the outdoor remote sensors may have reduced  
voltage supply and a shorter effective range. We  
recommend using lithium batteries at temperature  
32°F (0°C) and below.

BATTERY INSTALLATION  
NOTE: Install the batteries; select the channel and temperature  
in C° or F° before mounting the remote sensor.  
• Remove the screws from the battery compartment with a  
small Phillips screwdriver.  
• Set the channel (if channel switch is available in your model).  
The switch is located in the battery compartment. Channel 1  
is typically selected if only one remote sensor is being used.  
• Install 2 “AA” size alkaline batteries (not included)  
matching the polarities shown in the battery compartment.  
• Replace the battery compartment door and secure the screws.  
• Secure remote sensor in the desired location.  
LOW BATTERY WARNING  
A low-battery indicator [  
] will appear on the remote  
temperature reading line of the main unit, warning that the  
remote sensor batteries need replacement.  
PLACEMENT OF THE REMOTE SENSOR  
The remote sensor can be mounted on the wall using the  
recessed screw hole or placed on a flat surface indoors or  
outdoors.  
GETTING STARTED  
After batteries are installed; remote sensor will transmit  
temperature and humidity readings at 45 second intervals.  
The main unit may take up to two minutes to receive the  
initial readings. Upon successful reception, remote temperature  
and humidity will appear on the main unit's display. The main  
unit will automatically update readings at 45-second intervals.  
LOST COMMUNICATION  
If the main unit display line for the remote sensor reading  
goes blank, refer to the main unit's User Manual to find out  
the way to begin a new signal search. If the signal still isn't  
received, please make sure that:  
• The remote sensor is in its proper location.  
• The distance between main unit and remote sensor is not  
over 100 feet (30meters).  
• The path between units is clear of obstacles. Shorten the  
distance if necessary.  
• Fresh batteries are installed correctly in both remote sensor  
and main unit.

If there is no reception, please perform the following steps:  
• Bring the main unit and remote sensor close together.  
• Remove four (4) small screws from the back of the remote  
sensor with small Phillips screwdriver, and open the  
battery compartment.  
• Remove the batteries from the battery compartment and  
reinstall them in the same manner. Remote sensor LED  
indicator will flash showing transmission of the signal.  
• Remove the batteries from the main unit and reinstall them  
in the same manner.  
• The remote temperature and humidity appeared on the main  
unit's display will show that transmission is being received  
successfully.  
TRANSMISSION COLLISION  
Signals from the other household devices such as wireless  
doorbells, home security systems, and entry control, may  
interfere with this product or cause temporary reception  
interruption. This is normal and will not affect the general  
performance of the product. The transmission and reception  
of the temperature readings will resume once the interference  
subsides.  
PRECAUTIONS  
This product is engineered to give you years of satisfactory  
service if handled carefully. Here are a few precautions:  
• Do not immerse the unit in water.  
• Do not clean the unit with abrasive or corrosive materials.  
They may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the  
electronic circuits.  
• Do not subject the product to excessive force, shock, dust,  
temperature, or humidity, which may result in malfunctions,  
shorter lifespan, damaged batteries, and damaged parts.  
• Do not tamper with the unit's internal components. Doing  
so will invalidate the warranty and may cause damage.  
This unit contains no user-serviceable parts.  
• Use only fresh batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries.  
• Read the user's manual thoroughly before operating the unit.
