MOUNTING WITH SCREWS
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the Outdoor Temperature
Transmitter.
2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three
screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.
3) Where marked, start the screw holes into mounting surface.
4) Screw mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the
screws are flush with the bracket.
MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket and the
mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface should be smooth and flat.
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape. Adhere the tape to the designated area
on the back of the mounting bracket.
3) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape. Position the Outdoor Temperature
transmitter in the desired location, ensuring that the Atomic Clock can receive the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem:
The LCD is faint.
Solution:
1) Replace the batteries.
Problem:
No reception of WWVB signal
1)
It may help reception to face the front of the Atomic
Solution:
Clock in the general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2)
Wait overnight for signal.
3)
Be sure the Skyscan Atomic Clock is at least 6 feet (2
meters) from any electrical devices, i.e. TV sets,
computers, or other radio controlled clocks.
4)
Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave
the unit alone overnight without pressing any keys.
Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).
Problem:
Solution:
1)
Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time
are selected.
Problem:
"OFL" appears in the indoor temperature section of the
LCD
1)
Move the Atomic Clock to an area with warmer or
Solution:
cooler surrounding temperature. Current surrounding
temperatures are outside measuring range.
Problem:
"--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the
LCD.
Solution:
1)
Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then
reinsert them again. Make sure the batteries are new
and fresh.
2)
Move the Atomic Clock closer to the transmitter or
place the transmitter closer to the Skyscan Atomic
Clock. Make sure the clock is at a receivable range
from the transmitter.
3)
Move the units to another location. Interferences from
other electrical devices operating on the same signal
frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal
transmission and reception.
Problem:
"OFL" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the
LCD.
Solution:
1)
Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools
down or increases. Current temperature is outside of
the measuring range of the transmitter. The outdoor
temperature will be displayed again once the current
surrounding temperature is within the range of the
transmitter.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
• Avoid placing the units in areas prone to vibration and shock as these may cause damage.
• Avoid areas where the units can be exposed to sudden changes in temperature, i.e. direct
sunlight, extreme cold and wet/moist conditions as these will lead to rapid changes which
reduces the accuracy of readings.
• When cleaning the LCD and casing, use a soft damp cloth only. Do not use solvents or
scouring agents.
• Do not submerge the units into water.
• Immediately remove all low powered batteries to avoid leakage and damage. Replace only
with new batteries of the recommended size.
• Do not make any repairs to the units. Please return it to the original point of purchase.
Opening and tampering with the units may invalidate the warranty.
