SNOOZE SETTING 

The snooze can only be activated during alarm time for a snooze duration of 10 minutes by 
pressing the SNZ key on the back of the clock. 

 

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER: 

The temperature is measured and transmitted to the atomic clock every 1 minute. The atomic 
clock will update the temperature display every 5 minutes. 
The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold 
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when 
positioning the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in power during periods of extreme 
cold temperatures. 

 

433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER 

The atomic clock will receive the temperature data within 4 minutes. If the temperature data has 
not been received 4 minutes after setting up (the display shows “- - -”), then please check the 
following points: 
1.  The distance of the atomic clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at least 6 feet (2 

meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets. 

2.  Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames. 
3.  Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal 

frequency (433MHz)  may prevent correct signal transmission and reception. 

4.  Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause 

interference. 

 

Note:

 

 

When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the 
outdoor temperature transmitter or atomic clock, as the batteries may spring free from the 
contacts and force a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see 

Setting 

up

 above) otherwise transmission problems may occur. 

 

The maximum transmission range is 330 feet (100 meters) from the outdoor temperature 
transmitter to the atomic clock (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding 
environment and interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these 
factors, all system units have to be reset (see 

Setting up

).
