Outdoor sensor fell. The sensor no longer works.
Explanation: If there is no physical damage to the outdoor sensor, the fall may not have caused internal
damage. A fall can shock the outdoor sensor or the batteries in the outdoor sensor. Batteries that have
fallen on a hard surface may be damaged and unable to function properly.

dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six
years from now may still work but may be unstable in performance.
Note: An outdoor sensor that has fallen into puddle, snow, or other standing water, will likely have water
damage and need to be replaced. Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
HI | LO Temperature readings
Explanation: The atomic clock shows the HI | LO temperatures with Time and Date Stamp.
View Records:
From normal display, press and release the + (PLUS) button to view Indoor/Outdoor Temperature HI | LO
records with Time and Date.
Reset HI/LO Records:
While viewing individual records, hold the - (MINUS) button to reset.
Mounting/Positioning Outdoor sensor
First: Place the Outdoor sensor in the desired shaded location and the atomic clock in the home. Wait
approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the Outdoor sensor to ensure that there is proper
reception.
POSITION
Outdoor:
•
Protect the Outdoor sensor from standing rain or snow and from the overhead sun, which can cause it
to read incorrectly.
•
Mounting under an eave or deck rail works well.
•
If you choose, you can construct a small roof or box for the Outdoor sensor. Be sure a box has vents.
•
Mount the Outdoor sensor on the North side where to prevent sun from causing incorrect readings.
•
Mount at least 6 feet in the air for a strong RF (radio frequency) signal.
•
Do not mount the Outdoor sensor on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective
range
.
•
Outdoor sensors are water resistant, not waterproof.
Indoor or Outdoor:
•
Mount Outdoor temperature sensor vertically.
•
Avoid more than one wall between the Outdoor sensor and the atomic clock.
•
The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 330 feet (100 meters).
•
Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete and large metal objects can reduce the range.
•
Do not mount near electrical wires, transmitting antennas or other items that will
interfere
with the
signal.
