TROUBLESHOOTING 

Problem: 

The Projection is faint 

Solution: 

1) Change intensity setting 
2) Use AC adapter 
3) Darken surroundings 
4) Use fresh batteries (if AC is not used) 

Problem: 

The LCD is faint. 

Solution: 

1) Replace the batteries. 

Problem: 

“OFL” appears in the indoor temperature LCD. 

Solution: 

1) Move unit to an area with warmer or cooler 
surrounding temperature.  Current surrounding 
temperatures are outside measuring range. 

Problem: 

No reception of WWVB signal. 

Solution: 

1) It may help reception to face the front of the 

Projection alarm in the general direction of Ft. Collins, 
Colorado. 

2) Wait overnight for signal. 
3) Be sure the Projection alarm is at least 6 feet 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 buttons. 

5) If problems persist contact La Crosse Technology. 

Problem: 

Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct). 

Solution: 

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

Problem: 

“--.-” appears in outdoor temperature LCD 

Solution: 

1) Check batteries in remote 
2) If batteries are replaced in remote, the unit must be 
re-started. Remove all batteries, and then follow start up 
procedure. 

Problem: 

“OFL” appears in the outdoor temperature LCD 

Solution: 

1) Remote temperature is out of range. 
2) Check batteries. 
3) Interference from an outside source (cordless 

telephone, etc.) 

4) Contact La Crosse Technology.
