Batteries
• The Power cordis the best power source for the projection alarm clock.
• If you choose to use batteries:
• Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage.
• We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for indoor displays such as clocks.
• 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.
• Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years in the
future. Battery technology has improved, and batteries will maintain voltage longer in
storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete
the power.
• Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment. A minimum voltage of 1.48V for
each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Clock Factory Restart
1. Remove all power from outdoor sensor and alarm clock. Press one of the buttons on
the alarm clock at least 20 times to clear all memory.
2. Verify that the alarm clock is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on
the screen).
3. Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
4. Insert fresh batteries into the outdoor sensor.
5. Insert power cord and fresh batteries into the alarm clock.
6. Keep the outdoor sensor 5-10 feet from the alarm clock.
7. When connection is established, the temperature will appear on the clock. Allow the
outdoor sensor and alarm clock to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong
connection before returning the sensor outside.
• For optimum 915MHz transmission, the outdoor transmitter should be no more than 330
feet (100 meters, open air) from the Alarm clock.
• See the section on mounting and distance/resistance/interference for details on
mounting the outdoor transmitter.
