Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage. Many items sent
in under warranty, work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries manufactured this year will have an
expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain
voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the
power.
Use Alkaline or Lithium batteries in the remote sensor.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio frequency)
interference from the battery compartment.
Atomic Clock Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the atomic clock and remote sensor to an “out-of-the-box” default
state and often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1.
Remove batteries from remote sensor and atomic clock.
2.
Press one of the buttons on the atomic clock at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3.
Verify that the atomic clock is blank before proceeding (there may be lines painted on the screen that
will show when there is no power).
4.
Leave both units without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5.
Insert fresh batteries into the remote sensor.
6.
Press the TX button on the remote sensor to transmit RF signal.
7.
Keep the remote sensor 5-10 feet from the atomic clock.
8.
When RF connection is established, the temperature will appear on the station. Allow the remote sensor
and atomic clock to sit together for 15 minutes to establish a strong connection.
9.
Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
For optimum 433MHz transmission, place the remote sensor no more than 330 feet (100 meters, open
air) from the atomic clock.
