TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Poor Atomic Clock	Relocate or reposition the clock, making sure
Reception	the backside of the unit is facing in a direction
(No bars)	toward Colorado from your location.
	Heavy stone or metal walls can obstruct the
	signal and disrupt reception. Place the clock
	at least 3 feet (0.91 m) from other electronic
	devices (i.e. TV’s, microwaves, computers,
	etc.) that can interfere with wireless signals.
Poor Outdoor	You may be experiencing interference from
	other wireless devices using the same radio
Sensor Reception
	frequency channel. Relocate the main unit
(No bars)
	and/or the wireless sensor. Both units must
	be within 100 feet (30m) of each other. Make
	sure units are placed at least 3 feet from other
	electronic devices or appliances that may
	interfere with the wireless communication
	(i.e. TV’s, microwaves, computers, etc.)
	You may need to reset both units by
	removing and re-installing the batteries.
Bad Temperature	Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless
	sensor. Both units must be within 100 feet
Reception
	(30m) of each other. Make sure units are
(blank or flashing
	placed at least 3 feet from other electronic
temperature)
	devices or appliances that may interfere
	with the wireless communication (i.e. TV’s,
	microwaves, computers, etc.)
	You may need to reset both units by
	removing and re-installing the batteries.
Display Not Working	Check to make sure the batteries are installed
	correctly. Use only fresh STANDARD “AA”
	batteries, not generic or extra strength. Make
	certain that the batteries are FRESH. If the
	expiration date on your batteries is less than 6
	years away, they may not contain a full charge
	and can be weak.

In the event you wish to manually change the clock settings,

please use the instructions on page 5.

Battery Choice & Temperature Range:

Extended periods of extreme cold temperatures (below -4°F/ -20°C) can cause alkaline batteries to function improperly. This may cause the outdoor wireless sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. We recommend using lithium batteries in extreme low temperature conditions to ensure continued operation of the outdoor sensor.

For the digital atomic clock we recommend only alkaline batteries.

Battery Power Consumption:

The following chart represents estimated battery life expectations based on how you use the Indiglo® backlight feature. Results may vary.

Backlight OFF	Approximately 3 years
LOW Backlight ON for 8 hours	Approximately 1 year
LOW Backlight ON for 24 hours	Approximately 3 months
HIGH Backlight ON for 8 hours	Approximately 6 months
HIGH Backlight ON for 24 hours	Approximately 1 month

To conserve battery power you may choose the OFF or LOW setting for the backlight.
