  Sometimes a simple relocation of the outdoor sensor or the projection alarm will correct the 

interference. 

  Windows can reflect the radio signal.  

  Metal will absorb the RF (radio frequency) signal. 

  Stucco has a metal mesh that absorbs signal. 

  Avoid transmitting antennas: (ham radios, emergency dispatch centers, airports, military bases, etc.) 

  Electrical wires (utilities, cable, etc.) 

  Vegetation is full of moisture and reduces signal. 

  It is difficult for RF (radio frequency) signal to travel through a hill. 

 

Projection Alarm 

 

How tall are the time numbers? 

 

  The time numbers are 0.75 inches tall. 

 

Power Requirements 

 

  This projection alarm is powered by a 5 volt AC power adapter  

  Alternatively, optional 3-AAA alkaline batteries may be used. 

 

12-Hour or 24-Hour time format 

 

  Time can display in 12-hour (am, pm) or 24-hour format.  

  Default is 12-hour time. 

  Use the 

Program Menu 

to switch time formats. 

 

Fahrenheit/Celsius 

 

 

  

Press and release the SET/°F/°C button to select temperature readings in Fahrenheit or Celsius. 

 

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 projection alarm.  

  Press any button 20 times. Leave the projection alarm 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 projection alarm 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 outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the projection alarm for 2 

hours.  

  Compare indoor and outdoor 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 

projection alarm.
