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
Sensor Reception	other wireless devices using the same radio
(No bars)	frequency channel. This clock comes equipped
	with 3 RF signal channels. Inside the battery
	compartments of both units, you’ll find an
	ABC Switch. This switch allows you to toggle
	between the 3 channels to find that provides
	optimum reception.
Bad Temperature	Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless
Reception	sensor. Both units must be within 100 feet
(blank or flashing	(30m) of each other. Make sure units are
temperature)	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.
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.

Battery Choice & Temperature Range:

Extended periods of extreme cold temperatures (be- low -4̊F/ -20̊C) can cause alkaline batteries to func- tion 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.

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 9 months
LOW Backlight ON for 24 hours	Approximately 4 months
HIGH Backlight ON for 8 hours	Approximately 1 1/2 months
HIGH Backlight ON for 24 hours	Approximately 13 days

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