Page 20: Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting Guide My screen is completely blank If you see no text or moving segments on the Clock Radio screen, the device has not powered up. Check to make sure that your pow- er adaptor is securely plugged into both the device and the wall. I see city names but no weather information This happens until your Clock Radio receives its ﬁrst update from our network.
Page 21 Your device’s weather information is transmitted via the Ambient Information Network; the signal bars on the screen of the device dis- play the signal strength level for your Ambient weather data. Radio reception for the device is received separately, which means that it is possible to have strong radio reception but poor weather reception, or vice versa.
Page 22 The time on my clock is off by a number of hours Use the Settings button to enter the Settings menu, then scroll to the TIMEZONE option using the silver wheel on the back of the device. After you’ve selected the correct timezone, your device will maintain accurate time from the network without further adjustment.
