To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the bottom center of the battery compartment and lift up to remove the cover. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see marking inside battery compartment). [. . . ] By use of the + key select "°C" for temperature display in degrees Celsius or "°F" for degrees Fahrenheit. Press and release the SET key to exit the setting mode and switch back to the normal display mode . To return to the normal display mode from anywhere in manual setting mode simply press the SNZ key anytime. 12/24 HOURS TIME DISPLAY SETTING The alarm will be automatically ON when the alarm time is set. To deactivate the alarm (OFF), press and release once the ALM key in normal mode display. The alarm icon will disappear, the alarm is now off SNOOZE SETTING The snooze can only be activated during alarm time for a snooze duration of 10 minutes by pressing the SNZ key on the back of the clock °C OR °F TEMPERATURE SETTING OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: The temperature is measured and transmitted to the atomic clock every 1 minute. The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. Also the batteries may be reduced in power during periods of extreme cold temperatures. EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODES · 3. Press the + key third time and the display will return to the normal display. WWVB RADIO CONTROLLED TIME 433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER The atomic clock will receive the temperature data within 4 minutes. If the temperature data is not being received 4 minutes after setting up (the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following points: 1. The distance of the atomic clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause interference. Note: When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the outdoor temperature transmitter or atomic clock, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. The maximum transmission range is 82 feet (25 meters) from the outdoor temperature transmitter to the atomic clock (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system units have to be reset (see Setting up). The month&date/weekday/indoor temperature/outdoor temperature is the default. The display should now show the month&date/weekday/seconds/ indoor temperature. Press the + key a second time and the display will now show the month&date/seconds/indoor temperature/outdoor temperature. North-facing wall or in any well shaded area. The maximum transmitting range is 82 feet (25 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. [. . . ] Position the outdoor temperature transmitter in the desired location, ensuring that the atomic clock can receive the signal. Problem: Solution: Problem: Solution: CARE AND MAINTENANCE: · Avoid placing the units in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage. · Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i. e. direct sunlight, extreme cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which reduces the accuracy of readings. · When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only.
