Outdoor Temperature Sensor 

 

Compatible Outdoor Sensors 

 

  The 

KW5012FSK

 outdoor sensor (915MHz) comes packaged with this clock and is the only 

compatible sensor. 
 

Fahrenheit/Celsius 

 

 

Digital Atomic Clock

: Hold the -/°C/°F button on the back of the clock for 5 seconds to 

switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius. 

 

KW5012FSK Transmitter

:  Press the °C/°F button under the battery cover to switch the 

sensor temperature display from Fahrenheit to Celsius 
 

Flashing Outdoor Temperature 

 

  The outdoor Temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or intermittent 

between the clock and the outdoor sensor.   

 

Distance/Resistance

 is generally the cause of intermittent connection or loss of connection 

between the sensor and the clock.  

  Check the 

position

 of the clock. Turn the clock 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor for 

better reception.  

  Try the 

quick connect

 or 

factory restart

. 

 

Batteries

 often resolve the connection issue. 

 

Dashes shown for Outdoor Temperature 

 

  Dashes means the connection is lost between the clock and the outdoor sensor.   

  This sensor reads down to 

–4 °F. when the temperature is below that, the outdoor 

temperature can show OFL, HH.H, dashes or stick at a number. 

 

Batteries

 often resolve the connection. 

 

Distance/Resistance

 can cause loss of connection between the sensor and the clock.  

  Reorientation of the clock 90 degrees towards the outdoor sensor may provide better 

reception.  

  Try the 

quick connect

 or 

factory restart

. 

 

Quick Connect 

 

  Bring the sensor and clock together inside and have both units 5-10 feet apart with nothing 

between them.  

  Hold the 

SEARCH

 button on the clock for 5 seconds until the Temperature area starts to 

flash. 

  Remove battery cover and press and release the 

TX

 button to send the signal. 

  Wait for 2 minutes for the outdoor Temperature to appear. 

 

Factory Restart:

 If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset. 

 

Inaccurate Outdoor Temperature Reading 

 

  When the sensor reads high during the day but not at night it is 

positioning

 problem. 

 

Side-by-side test:

 Bring the outdoor sensor in the house and place it next to the clock for 2 

hours.
