QUICK SETUP GUIDE
Page 1 of 6
Congratulations
You have purchased an atomic digital Atomic Clock from La Crosse Technology®, providing the world's most accurate time at a glance, plus wireless outdoor temperature.
This product offers:
Features:
x WWVB Radio Controlled Clock (Atomic Clock) x Time in 12/24 hour format x Manual time setting option x Time Zone setting: +/- 12 Hours from GMT x Daylight Saving Time(DST) On/Off x Continuous calendar up to year 2054 x Date and weekday displayed and set automatically with the time x Temperature display in °F or °C x Snooze function (10 minutes) x Indoor thermometer x Wireless Outdoor Temperature Sensor x Low battery icons for display and sensor
Setup Information:
The Temperature Sensor uses 2 x AAA, IEC LR3 1.5V battery. To install and replace the batteries, please follow the steps that follow:
x Insert the batteries into the Outdoor Sensor first, observing the
x Immediately after and within 3 minutes, insert the batteries into the
x The outdoor temperature and the signal reception icon
Note: In the event of changing batteries in any of the units, all units need to be reset by following the setting up procedures. This is because a random security code is assigned by the Sensor at start-up and this code must be received and stored by the Atomic Clock in the first 3 minutes of power being supplied to it
Note: If the signal reception is not successful on the first frequency (915MHz) for 22 seconds, the frequency is changed to 920MHz and the learning is tried another 22 seconds. If still not successful the reception is tried for 22 seconds on 910MHz. This will also be done for re­synchronization.

place.
Positioning the Temperature Sensor:
The Sensor is supplied with a holder that may be attached to a wall with the two screws supplied. The Sensor can also be positioned on a flat surface by securing the stand to the bottom to the Transmitter.
Note: Before permanently fixing the Sensor wall base, place all units in the desired locations to check that the outdoor temperature reading is
receivable. If the signal is being received, the signal reception icon displayed on the Atomic Clock. In event that the signal is not received, relocate the Sensor or move it slightly as this may help the signal reception. To ensure a good connection, there should be a distance of no more than 200 feet between the final position of the Atomic Clock and the Sensor.
To wall mount the Temperature Sensor:
1. Secure the bracket onto a desired wall using the screws and plastic anchors.
2. Clip the remote temperature sensor onto the bracket.
WWVB (Atomic Time) Radio signal:
x The clock must receive the WWVB Radio Signal to automatically set
the time, date and weekday.
x The clock automatically starts the WWVB on the top of the hour
between the hours of 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM.
x If this synchronization attempt is successful the radio tower icon
appears on the display. The radio tower icon will disappear if the signal reception is unsuccessful.
About WWVB (Atomic Time) Radio Signal Reception:
x A continuously displayed radio tower icon
WWVB signal was received successfully during the last attempt. If the clock attempts to receive the WWVB signal and is unsuccessful, the tower icon will not be continuously displayed on the LCD.
x We recommend a minimum distance of 8 feet (2.5 meters) to all
sources of interference, such as televisions or computer monitors
x Radio reception is weaker in rooms with concrete walls (e.g.: in
cellars) and in offices. In such environments, place the system close to the window.
