TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem: | The LCD is faint. |
Solution: | 1) | Replace the batteries. |
Problem: | No reception of WWVB signal |
Solution: | 1) | It may help reception to face the front of the atomic clock in the general |
| | direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. |
| 2) | Wait overnight for signal. |
| 3) | Be sure the atomic clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical |
| | devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks. |
| 4) | Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone |
| | overnight without pressing any keys. |
Problem: | Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct). |
Solution: | 1) | Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected. |
Problem: | "OF.L“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD |
Solution: | 1) | Move the atomic clock to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding |
| | temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring |
| | range. |
| 2) | Change batteries. |
Problem: | "--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD. |
Solution: | 1) | Remove the batteries of both units for ten minutes, then reinsert them |
| | again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh. |
| 2) | Move the atomic clock closer to the sensor or place the sensor closer to |
| | the atomic clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range from the |
| | sensor. |
| 3) | Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical |
| | devices operating on the same signal frequency (915MHz) may prevent |
| | correct signal transmission and reception. |
Problem: | "OF.L“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD. |
Solution: | 1) | Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases. |
| | Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the sensor. The |
| | outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current surrounding |
| | temperature is within the range of the sensor. |
| 2) | Change Batteries |
| 3) | Please see all basic troubleshooting info as well |
