°C OR °F TEMPERATURE SETTING
1.
The characters "°C" or "°F" will start flashing on LCD1 (Default setting °F). By use of the + key
select "°C" for temperature display in degrees Celsius or "°F" for degrees Fahrenheit.
2.
Press and release the SET key to exit the setting mode and switch back to the normal display
mode.
EXIT THE MANUAL SETTING MODES
To return to the normal display mode from anywhere in manual setting mode simply press the
SNZ key anytime.
If no keys are pressed for at least 15 seconds in setting mode, the atomic clock will
automatically switch back to normal display mode.

OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER:

The temperature is measured and transmitted to the atomic clock every 1 minute. The atomic clock
will update the temperature display every 5 minutes.
The range of the outdoor temperature transmitter may be affected by the temperature. At cold
temperatures the transmitting distance may be decreased. Please bear this in mind when positioning
the transmitter. Also the batteries may be reduced in power during periods of extreme cold
temperatures.
433MHz RECEPTION CHECK FOR OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The atomic clock will receive the temperature data within 4 minutes. If the temperature data is not
being received 4 minutes after setting up (the display shows "- - -"), then please check the following
points:
1.
The distance of the atomic clock or outdoor temperature transmitter should be at least 6 feet (2
meters) away from any interfering sources such as computer monitors or TV sets.
2.
Avoid placing the receiver onto or in the immediate proximity of metal window frames.
3.
Using other electrical products such as headphones or speakers operating on the same signal
frequency (433MHz) may prevent correct signal transmission and reception.
4.
Neighbors using electrical devices operating on the 433MHz signal frequency can also cause
interference.
Note:
When the 433 MHz signal is received correctly, do not re-open the battery cover of either the outdoor
temperature transmitter or atomic clock, as the batteries may spring free from the contacts and force
a false reset. Should this happen accidentally then reset all units (see Setting up above) otherwise
transmission problems may occur.
The maximum transmission range is 82 feet (25 meters) from the outdoor temperature transmitter to
the atomic clock (in open space). However, this depends on the surrounding environment and
interference levels. If no reception is possible despite the observation of these factors, all system
units have to be reset (see Setting up).
CHANGING THE DISPLAY MODE (DAY, SECONDS, AND TEMPERATURES)
There are four possible display modes to view the day, seconds, and temperatures.
The month&date/weekday/indoor temperature/outdoor temperature is the default.
