In areas where the weather is not affected by the change of air pressure, this feature will be less accurate. The temperature is measured and transmitted to the radio-controlled clock every 4 seconds. The radio-controlled clock will update the temperature display every 20 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.

If the temperature data is not being received 2 minutes after setting up (or the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following points: 1. The distance of the radio-controlled 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.
