To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps below: 1. [. . . ] Reception is generally not possible during daylight hours due to the interference of the sun. YEAR The year can be selected sequentially from 2001 to 2029 and will then start over again (default setting 2009). Press and release the SET key to switch to the "Month Setting". Press and release the SET key to move to the mode "Date Setting". DATE 1. The digits for the date will start flashing on LCD2 (Default setting 1). Note: The date can only be set in conjunction with the selected month. For example, it is not possible to set the date 30 if the month of February is selected. The weekday symbols will be displayed on LCD2 in the pre-set language and flashing. Press and release the SET key to enter the mode "º12/24 hour Time Display Setting". The "12h" or "24h" will start flashing in LCD1 (Default setting 12h). Press and release the SET key to enter the "ºC/ºF Temperature Setting". The characters "°F" or "°C" will start flashing on LCD2 (Default setting °F). 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. EXIT THE MANUAL SET MODE To return to the normal display mode from anywhere in manual setting mode simply press the SNZ key anytime. The radio-controlled clock will update the temperature display every 4 seconds. 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. POSITIONING Before permanently mounting, ensure that the radio-controlled clock is able to receive WWVB signals from the desired location. Also, extreme and sudden changes in temperature will decrease the accuracy of the radio-controlled clock, and changes in elevation will result with inaccurate temperatures readings for the next 12 to 24 hours. These changes will require a 12 to 24 hour wait before obtaining reliable data. 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. [. . . ] 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 reduce the accuracy of readings. Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate the warranty.
