TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

Problem: 

The LCD is faint. 

Solution: 

1)   Replace the batteries. 

Problem: 

No reception of WWVB signal 

Solution: 

1)  It may help reception to face the front of the Atomic Clock in the general 

direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado. 

2)  Wait overnight for signal. 
3)  Be sure the  Atomic Clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any electrical 

devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks. 

4)  Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone 

overnight without pressing any keys. 

Problem: 

Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct). 

Solution: 

1)    Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected. 

Problem: 

"OFL“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD 

Solution: 

1)  Move the Atomic Clock to an area with warmer or cooler surrounding 

temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside measuring 
range. 

Problem: 

"--.-" appears in the outdoor  temperature section of the LCD. 

Solution: 

1)  Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them 

again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh. 

2)  Move the Atomic Clock closer to the transmitter or place the transmitter 

closer to the Atomic Clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range 
from the transmitter. 

3)  Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical 

devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent 
correct signal transmission and reception.  

Problem: 

"OFL“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD. 

Solution: 

1)  Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases. 

Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the transmitter. 
The outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current 
surrounding temperature is within the range of the transmitter. 

 

 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• 

Avoid placing the units in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage. 

• 

Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i.e. direct 
sunlight, extreme cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which reduces 
the accuracy of readings. 

• 

When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or scouring 
agents. 

• 

Do not submerge the units into water. 

• 

Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only with 
new batteries of the recommended size. 

• 

Do not make any repairs to the units. Please return it to the original point of purchase. Opening 
and tampering with the units may invalidate the warranty.
