The Taylor 1434 Wireless Weather Station is a versatile indoor/outdoor thermometer that delivers accurate outdoor temperature readings to your living space. Beyond basic temperature monitoring, it functions as a calendar, alarm clock, and a temperature‑alert system, and it can log historical weather data.

Step 1 – Install Batteries in the Main Unit

Open the battery‑slot cover on the back of the main unit and insert two AA batteries. Secure the cover.

Step 2 – Power the Remote Sensor

Unscrew the four screws on the remote sensor’s battery compartment, insert two AAA batteries, then re‑fasten the cover.

Step 3 – Place the Main Unit Inside

Position the main unit in any convenient indoor location.

Step 4 – Mount the Remote Sensor Outdoors

Set the sensor within 100 feet of the main unit, shielded from direct sunlight and rain. A roof overhang or a sturdy table stand works well.

Step 5 – Sync Time with NIST

Press and hold the “‑” button on the back for three seconds until the antenna icon appears. The device will automatically pull the current time from the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s 60 kHz AM signal, updating daily at 1 a.m.

Step 6 – Configure the Alarm

Press “Clear” to enter alarm mode, adjust hours and minutes with “+” and “‑”, then press “Clear” again to confirm.

Step 7 – View and Reset Max/Min Temperatures

Press “Max/Min” to toggle between maximum and minimum recorded temperatures. Hold “Clear” while viewing to erase the memory.

Step 8 – Set Temperature Alerts

Press and hold “Alert” for three seconds to enter alert mode, set upper and lower limits with “+” and “‑”, then press “Alert” again to confirm.
