Data Transmission; Search For Sensor; Clock - Oregon Scientific BAR888Ra User Manual

Place the sensor in a location with a clear view to
the sky, away from metallic or electronic objects.
Position the sensor close to the main unit during
cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures
may affect battery performance and signal
transmission.
You may need to experiment with various locations to
get the best results.

DATA TRANSMISSION

reception icon shown in the Temperature Area shows
the status.

normal and does not affect general product performance.
The reception will resume once the interference ends.

CLOCK

The main unit automatically synchronizes the current time
and date on the clock when it is brought within range of
the WWVB-60 atomic clock signal generated from Fort
Collins, Colorado. For more information, please visit: www.
boulder.nist.gov/timefreq.stations/radioclocks.htm. The
signals are collected by the main unit when it is within 932
miles (1500 km) of a signal.
Initial reception takes 2-10 minutes, and is initiated
when you first setup the unit, and whenever you press
RESET. Once complete, the reception icon will stop
blinking. The icon is shown in the Clock Area.
