Quick Connect

Explanation: Use the quick connect for an atomic clock and remote sensor that have been working but lost
connection due to interference or low batteries. This is not the same as a thorough factory reset.
1. Bring the remote sensor and atomic clock together inside, and place the units 5-10 feet apart with
nothing between them.
2. Hold the MINUS button for 5 seconds. The remote temperature area will flash.
3. Remove battery cover from the remote sensor and press and release the TX button to send the signal.
4. Wait for 2 minutes for the remote temperature to appear on the atomic clock.
Factory Restart: If the above procedure does not work, please try the factory reset.


Remote Temperature Signal Strength

Explanation: The atomic clock will search for the remote temperature remote sensor for 3 minutes after
batteries are installed or when the MINUS button is held for 3 seconds.
The antenna symbol will flash during reception.

The temperature display will be dashes "---".

If synchronization fails once, the antenna will lose one bar.

If synchronization fails twice, the antenna will lose two bars.

If RF (radio frequency) reception fails five times, the antenna symbol will show without bars.

The antenna will show full display with successful RF (radio frequency) reception.


Dashes show for Remote Temperature

Explanation: Dashes mean the connection is lost between the atomic clock and the remote sensor.
Batteries often resolve the connection.

Distance/Resistance can cause loss of connection between the remote sensor and the atomic clock.

 Turn the atomic clock 90 degrees towards the remote sensor to provide better reception. This allows
more antenna surface to face the remote sensor signal.
 Try the quick connect

Power Requirements

 2-AA batteries power the remote sensor.
 2-AA batteries power the clock.
 We recommend Alkaline batteries for the remote sensor.
 You may choose to use Lithium batteries for temperatures below -20°F/-28.8°C.

Inaccurate Remote Temperature Reading

Explanation: High remote temperature readings are generally a location issue. Low remote temperature
readings are power related or a sensors going bad.
 The remote sensor reads the environment where it is mounted. When mounted inside the home, it will
read inside temperature.
 When the remote sensor reads high during the day, but not at night, it is a
