Try relocation the clock or the transmitter if the clock does not display the outdoor temperature after 6
minutes.
The RF Temperature signal indicator in the clock's outdoor temperature window will show the following:
Atomic Clock Reception
Your atomic clock receives the offical US time signal from the US Atomic clock in Ft. Collins,
Colorado.Successful reception will activate the WAVE OK icon. If the clock fails to receive the "WAVE"
signal in the first reception sequence after power up, it will repeat a 10-minute reception sequence every
30 minutes. This operation stops once the WAVE is received. The clock automatically refreshes the
WAVE each night.
You can start reception of the time signal anytime by pressing the WAVE button.
Note: Frequent use of this feature may affect battery life.
Interference
Signals from other household devices, such as entry controls, door bells and home security systems, may
temporarily interfere the Atomic Clock and cause reception failure. This is normal and does not affect the
general performance of the product. The transmission and reception of temperature reading will resume
once the interference has stopped.
Manual clock setting
If 20 minutes after power up your clock has not successfully received the time signal, you may set the
clock manually or the clock will continue an automatic search each 30 minutes until the signal is received.
Best reception of the WAVE is during the nighttime when the atmosphere allows a stronger signal to travel
farther from the Colorado transmitter. It is strongly recommended that you allow the atomic clock one
or two evenings to automatically catch the WAVE and set itself.
If you decide to manually set the clock make sure the time zone and DST switches are properly set (see
getting started). Then follow these easy steps:
1.Slide the switch to TIME SET and the time will flash on the display. Press the HR and MIN
buttons until you reach the desired time.
2.Slide the switch to calendar and the year and date will flash on the display. Press the YEAR,
MONTH and DATE buttons until you reach the desired calendar setting.
3.Slide the Switch to the LOCK Position.
4.Press the 12HR/24HR button to choose the desired display format. "AM"and "PM" display only
in the 12HR format.
5.Press the C/F button to choose the Centigrade or Fahrenheit scale. Both the indoor and outdoor
temperature will display in the chosen scale. Note: the display on the remote unit can also show
Centigrade or Fahrenheit independent of the temperature scale chosen for the clock display.
Losing Synchronization of the wireless thermometer and the clock:
If the clock displayed a proper outdoor temperature in the past but now displays blank "--", the wireless
transmitter and clock may have lost synchronization. If this occurs, press the TEMP FINDER button
behind the flip over stand of the clock. The clock will attempt outdoor temperature reception for another 6
minutes and reinitiate synchronization with the wireless transmitter. If the remote temperature cannot be
received, check:
