HOW DO I CHANGE BATTERIES IN MY SENSORS WITHOUT

 

LOSING DATA? 

 

We designed this clock for convenience, so that a simple change of batteries does not lose data or require you to 

power down your clock. 

 

When Battery Indicator shows next to the Outdoor Temperature, replace batteries in your Outdoor Sensor.   

 

Then hold the PLUS (+) button for 3 seconds and your clock will search for your sensor. 

FACTORY RESET: HOW DO I FACTORY RESET MY CLOCK? 

 

 

Basically this is a great way to return your clock to “out of the box” condition.   

 

This is more effective than removing all power for clearing out the clock.  

 

All history records will be removed, so write down anything you want to keep. 

 

To factory reset clock: 

1.

 

Bring your sensor in, and place 5-10 feet from both clocks. 

2.

 

Remove power from clock and sensor for 15 minutes. 

3.

 

With power removed press any button 20 times. 

4.

 

Insert batteries into sensor and clock. 

5.

 

Allow 15 minutes for them to connect several times.  

6.

 

Place sensor back outside. 

 

TEMPERATURE SHOWS “NO”: WHY DOES MY OUTDOOR 

 

SENSOR SHOW “NO” ON THE 

CLOCK? 

 

“NO” indicates the connection is lost between your clock and the outdoor sensor.   

 

My first thought is always to check that my 

batteries

 are good. If it has been working and now is not, low 

batteries are the most common connection problem.  

 

Next, check your 

distance, resistance and interference

.  If everything was working previously at the same 

location, this is likely not the issue. However sometimes there is new growth on trees or bushes that causing 

another barrier.  Radio Frequency (RF) signal does not travel well through foliage due to the moisture content. 

 

Occasionally adding a new wireless electronic device to the home will cross the signal path for the sensor.  If 

this occurs try moving your clock a few feet or turning the clock 90 degrees for a better angle to receive the 

sensor signal. 

 

When you have good batteries, and good location, hold the PLUS (+) button (clock) for three seconds to search 

for your sensor.  If you regain connection while the sensor is mounted, great.  If you do not regain connection, 

bring the sensor within 10 feet of the clock and complete a factory reset. 

WHY DOES MY TEMPERATURE READ DASHES ON MY CLOCK? 

 

 

Dashes will show in the outdoor temperature area when the clock is searching for the outdoor sensor.   

 

If the sensor signal is received the temperature value will display.  

 

If the sensor is not received, the word NO will display.
