TROUBLESHOOTING:
Problem: The LCD is faint.
Solution: 1) Replace the batteries.
Problem: No reception of WWVB signal
Solution: 1) It may help reception to face the front of the radio-controlled clock in the
general direction of Ft. Collins, Colorado.
2) Wait overnight for signal.
3) Be sure the radio-controlled clock is at least 6 feet (2 meters) from any
electrical devices, i.e. TV sets, computers, or other radio controlled clocks.
4) Remove batteries for five minutes, reinsert and leave the unit alone
overnight without pressing any keys.
Problem: Hour is incorrect (minute and date are correct).
Solution: 1) Be sure the correct time zone and daylight saving time are selected.
Problem: "OF.L“ appears in the indoor temperature section of the LCD
Solution: 1) Move the radio-controlled clock to an area with warmer or cooler
surrounding temperature. Current surrounding temperatures are outside
measuring range.
Problem: "--.-" appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution: 1) Remove the batteries of both units for one minute, then reinsert them
again. Make sure the batteries are new and fresh.
2) Move the radio-controlled clock closer to the transmitter or place the
transmitter closer to the radio-controlled clock. Make sure the clock is at a
receivable range from the transmitter.
3) Move the units to another location. Interferences from other electrical
devices operating on the same signal frequency (433MHz) may prevent
correct signal transmission and reception.
Problem: "OF.L“ appears in the outdoor temperature section of the LCD.
Solution: 1) Wait until the current surrounding temperature cools down or increases.
Current temperature is outside of the measuring range of the transmitter.
The outdoor temperature will be displayed again once the current
surrounding temperature is within the range of the transmitter.
