Battery Choice & Temperature Range
Extended periods of cold temperatures ( below -4ºF / -20ºC ) can cause alkaline
batteries to function improperly. This will cause the outdoor wireless sensor to
stop transmitting temperature readings. Use lithium batteries in these low
temperature conditions to ensure continued operation for wireless sensors
placed outdoors.

About the Self Setting Atomic Clock
In North America, the National Institute of Standards and Technologies
operates an atomic clock in Colorado which transmits the time codes via the
radio station WWVB. The Acurite clock you have purchased includes a built-in
receiver which picks up the signal from the WWVB station. For the best
possible reception, place the display unit with the back side facing Colorado.
Synchronization with the WWVB atomic clock signal happens at night when
there is less interference.
