To achieve a true temperature reading, avoid mounting where direct sunlight can reach the outdoor temperature transmitter. It is recommended to mount the outdoor temperature transmitter on a North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 330 feet (100 meters) obstacles such as walls, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the range.

Place both units in their desired location, and wait approximately 10 minutes before permanently mounting to ensure that there is proper reception. The outdoor temperature transmitter is not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become submerged in water or be directly in the rain.

POSITIONING THE ATOMIC CLOCK:

There are two possible ways to mount the atomic clock:

use of the foldout table stand, or

wall mounting

FOLDOUT TABLE STAND

The foldout table stand leg is located on the backside. Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the atomic clock, below the battery compartment. Once the foldout table stand is extended, place the atomic clock in an appropriate location.

WALL MOUNTING

1)Using a straightedge, horizontally space at 2-3/4 of an inch (70 mm) three screw positions on a wall.

2)Install three mounting screws (not included) into a wall within transmission range—leaving approximately 3/16 of an inch (5mm)

extended from the wall.

3) Place the atomic clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside. Gently pull the atomic clock down to lock the screws into place.

Note:

 

Always ensure

that the atomic clock locks onto the screws before releasing.

POSITIONING

THE OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER

The outdoor

temperature transmitter can be mounted with the use of screws.

MOUNTING

WITH SCREWS

1)

Remove the mounting bracket from the outdoor temperature transmitter.

2)

Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the two screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.

3)

Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.

4)

Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the screws are flush with the bracket.

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 is

 

 

selected. North American Time

 

 

Zones are negative numbers.

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. Batteries

Problem:

"--.-" appears in the outdoor

 

temperature section of the LCD.

Solution:

1)

Remove the batteries of both

 

 

units for ten minutes. Press any

 

 

button 20 times with batteries

 

 

out then reinsert them again.

 

 

Make sure the batteries are new

 

 

and fresh.

 

2)

Move the atomic clock closer to

 

 

the transmitter or place the

 

 

transmitter closer to the atomic

 

 

clock. Make sure the clock is at
