Quick Connect
Explanation: If sensor loses connection to the clock for any reason, the clock will show
NO in the outdoor temperature area after 30 minutes. The clock will search for 3 minutes
every hour to reconnect with sensor.
•
Hold the PLUS (+) button 2 seconds to search for the outdoor sensor.
Dashes show for Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the atomic clock and the
Outdoor sensor.
•
often resolve the connection.
•
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of connection between the Outdoor sensor and
the atomic clock.
•
Turn the atomic clock 90 degrees towards the Outdoor sensor to provide better
reception. This allows more antenna surface to face the Outdoor sensor signal.

Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: High Outdoor temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low
Outdoor temperature readings are power related or a sensor going bad.
•
The Outdoor sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside
the home, it will read inside temperature.
•
When the Outdoor sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a
positioning
problem.
•
Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames or reflected heat.
Side-by-side test: Place the Outdoor sensor right next to the atomic clock for 2 hours.
•
Compare indoor and Outdoor temperature. The temperatures should be within 4
degrees to be within tolerance.
•
If the Outdoor sensor reads correctly when next to the atomic clock, try a different
location outside.
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature
Explanation: Intermittent problems are the hardest to resolve. RF (radio frequency)
communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments
(e.g. moister climates). If Outdoor sensor signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal
to reconnect on its own.
•
Move the Outdoor sensor to a closer location.
•
Distance/Resistance
can cause loss of Outdoor sensor signal.
