BATTERIES
Explanation:
Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries
manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future.
Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage.
However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.
We suggest a name-brand Alkaline battery.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V is necessary for proper performance.
Use a battery 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.
Good name-brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
FACTORY RESTART
Explanation:
The factory restart returns the atomic clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and
often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1.
Remove the battery from the clock for 15 minutes.
2.
Insert fresh Alkaline battery into the clock.
3.
Manually set the time.
