Position Digital Atomic Clock; Distance/Resistance/Interference - La Crosse Technology 513-149V2 Faqs

MOUNT
 Choose a location for the transmitter that is within
under an overhang for accuracy.
 Install one mounting screw into a wall leaving approximately ½ inch (12.7mm) extended.
 Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
 Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Note: Always ensure that the transmitter locks onto the screw before releasing.

Position Digital Atomic Clock

 Mount the Atomic Digital Wall Clock near an exterior wall with the front or back facing toward
Ft. Collin Colorado for best WWVB reception.
 The Digital Atomic Clock should be six feet from other electronics or wireless devices to best
receive the outdoor temperature transmitter signal.
Foldout Table Stand:
A foldout table stand is located on the back of the clock.
 Pull the stand out from the bottom center edge of the Digital Atomic Clock, below the battery
compartment.
 Extend the foldout table stand and place the Digital Atomic Clock in an appropriate location.
Wall Mount
 Use a straightedge to horizontally space three screw positions on a wall to match the
hanging holes on the back of the clock. Install three mounting screws (not included) into a
wall within transmission range of the outdoor transmitter—leaving approximately 3/16 of an
inch (5mm) extended from the wall.
 Place the Digital Atomic Clock onto the screws, using the hanging holes on the backside.
 Gently pull the Digital Atomic Clock down to lock the screws into place.
 Note: Always ensure that the Digital Atomic Clock locks onto the screws before releasing.

Distance/Resistance/Interference

Distance:
 The maximum transmitting range in open air is over 300-feet (91 meters) between the
outdoor transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock.
 Consider what is in the signal path between the Digital Atomic Clock and the transmitter.
 Consider the distance the Digital Atomic Clock is located away from other electronic in the
home.
Resistance:
 Obstacles such as walls, windows, stucco, concrete, and large metal objects can reduce the
range.
 When considering the distance between the transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock
(3humidity
 300 feet open-air) cut that distance in half for each wall, window, tree, bush or other
obstruction in the signal path.
 Closer is better.
 Do not mount the transmitter on a metal fence. This significantly reduces the effective range.
Interference:
 Consider items in the signal path between the transmitter and the Digital Atomic Clock.
 Sometime a simple relocation of the transmitter or the Digital Atomic Clock will correct the
interference issue.
