TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE
TRANSMITTER
The transmitter uses 2 x AA,1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the
steps below:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
Alkaline batteries are recommended for use in both units
SETTING UP:
Do not set the clock until the outdoor temperature is displayed.
1. Place batteries in the outdoor transmitter first, then into the atomic clock. DO
NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.
2. After the 10 minutes both the Indoor and Outdoor areas on your clock should have a
temperature showing. If not, remove both sets of batteries, wait 5 minutes and repeat
step one.
3. After the clock receives the outdoor temperature, set your time zone using the
manual settings below. The default time zone is Eastern Standard Time.
4. After the clock receives the outdoor temperature the WWVB time code reception will
automatically start. This reception typically takes between 5-10 minutes in good
conditions. If after 10 minutes the WWVB time has not been received, use the SET key to
manually enter the set mode and change either the time or date in order to activate the
WWVB reception (see manual settings below). The clock will then automatically attempt to
receive the WWVB time from 12:00 am through 6:00 am each day (attempts WWVB
reception every full hour within this time frame). When this is successful, the received time
will override the manually set time. The date is also updated with the received time
(Please refer to notes on “Radio controlled time” and “Manual time setting”).
Note:
In the event of changing batteries of the unit ensure that the batteries do not spring free from the
contacts. Always wait at least 5 minutes after removing the batteries before reinserting, otherwise
start up and transmission problems may occur.
