B) TEMPERATURE ALARM
1) Remove the battery cover, located on the backside

of the unit.

2) Observe the correct polarity and install 2 AA batteries.
3) Replace the battery cover.

Note:

After the batteries have been installed a tone

will sound, and all the LCD's (Liquid Crystal Display) will
briefly light up. The indoor temperature, the date as "1/
1", the weekday as "MON", and the remote temperature
will be displayed (within three minutes). Also, the time
will appear as "-:--" for approximately 1 minute.
TheWWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower
icon appears and flashes with the time colon (no tower
icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to be detected,
and the time display will remain on "-:--"). While the
WWVB search is being conducted various numbers will
appear in the time display. After 10minutes, the
temperature alarm will either display the WWVB time,
or discontinue the search if the time is not found. If the
search is cancelled "-:--" will appear in the time LCD.

The temperature alarm will conduct a WWVB search
every hour until the first signal is found. Once the WWVB
time is found, a search is automatically conducted nightly
at midnight. If the signal is found at midnight, the tower
icon will remain, if not, another search will take place
every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is found
successfully. If no signal is found during this period, the

tower icon will not appear and the clock will search again
at 12:00 am the next night.
