Battery Choice & Temperature Range:

extended periods of extreme cold temperatures (be-
low -4

̊f/ -20̊c) can cause alkaline batteries to func-

tion improperly. this may cause the outdoor wireless
sensor to stop transmitting temperature readings. we
recommend using lithium batteries in extreme low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation
of the outdoor sensor.

Choosing Your Time Zone

Relocate or reposition the clock, making sure

the backside of the unit is facing in a direction

toward Colorado from your location.

Heavy stone or metal walls can obstruct the

signal and disrupt reception. Place the clock

at least 3 feet (0.91 m) from other electronic

devices (i.e. TV’s, microwaves, computers,

etc.) that can interfere with wireless signals.

You may be experiencing interference from

other wireless devices using the same radio

frequency channel. This clock comes equipped

with 3 RF signal channels. Inside the battery

compartments of both units, you’ll find an

ABC Switch. This switch allows you to toggle

between the 3 channels to find that provides

optimum reception.

Relocate the main unit and/or the wireless

sensor. Both units must be within 100 feet

(30m) of each other. Make sure units are

placed at least 3 feet from other electronic

devices or appliances that may interfere

with the wireless communication (i.e. TV’s,

microwaves, computers, etc.)

You may need to reset both units by

removing and re-installing the batteries.

Check to make sure the batteries are installed

correctly. Use only fresh STANDARD “AA”

batteries, not generic or extra strength. Make

certain that the batteries are FRESH. If the

expiration date on your batteries is less than 6

years away, they may not contain a full charge

and can be weak.
