Battery Choice & Temperature Range:
extended periods of extreme cold temperatures (be-
low -4
̊f/ -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.

Choosing Your Time Zone
Relocate or reposition the clock, making sure
the backside of the unit is facing in a direction
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.
You may be experiencing interference from
other wireless devices using the same radio
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.
Relocate the main unit 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.
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.
