

First Quarter and Last Quarter moons occur when the moon is at a 90 degree

angle to the earth and sun. We see half of the moon illuminated and the other

half is in shadow.

Dashes, HH.H, LL.L or stuck Indoor Temperature

Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is

outside of its readable range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related

issue.



Batteries

may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries from the

atomic clock.



Press any button 20 times. Leave the atomic clock unpowered for 1-2 hours.



Install fresh Alkaline batteries with correct polarity.



If the indoor temperature is still shows dashes, HH.H or LL.L, the atomic clock

may need replacement.

Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading

Explanation: When the indoor temperature is inaccurate, it is often due to the

location of the display or overpowered/under powered batteries. You can test the

accuracy at you home.

Side-by-side test: Bring the remote sensor in the house and place it next to the

atomic clock for 2 hours.



Compare indoor and remote temperature. The temperature should be within 4

degrees to be within tolerance.



Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat

or cold near the atomic clock.
