Outdoor Temperature Transmitter Compatible Outdoor Transmitters • • A TX37U-IT outdoor transmitter comes packaged with this clock. The TX37U-IT and TX45U-IT (915MHz) transmitters are compatible with this clock. Fahrenheit/Celsius • Use the program menu to select Fahrenheit or Celsius temperature display. Flashing Outdoor Temperature • • • • • The outdoor Temperature reading will flash when the connection is first lost or intermittent between the clock and the outdoor transmitter.
PAGE 4
Intermittent Outdoor Temperature • • • • • • • • RF (radio frequency) communication may come and go occasionally. This can be normal in some environments (e.g. moister climates). If transmitter signal is lost, please wait 2-4 hours for the signal to reconnect on its own. Move the outdoor transmitter to a closer location. Freezer test: Confirm the clock is reading the correct outdoor transmitter. Place the transmitter in the freezer for an hour and watch the temperature drop on the clock.

• • • Check the distance and resistance between the transmitter and clock. Transmitters at the end of the range may work while batteries are fresh but not after they drain a bit. Check for leaking batteries, which may damage the transmitter. Battery life is over 24 months when using reputable battery brands for both Alkaline and Lithium batteries. Mounting/Positioning Outdoor Transmitter • • • • • • • • • • • Mount outdoor temperature transmitters vertically and under a bit of an overhang.
PAGE 6
• Consider the distance the 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 clock (330 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.

Set Time Alarm 1. Press and hold the AL/HOUR button for five seconds. The Alarm Time begins to flash. 2. Use the MODE/MIN button to set the Minute and the AL/HOUR button to set the Hour. 3. Press SNOOZE and you are done. Activate/Deactivate Time Alarm • • • Press, briefly hold, and then release the AL/HOUR button to turn alarm On or Off. When the alarm is ON, you will see an alarm icon ((●)) next to the word outdoor. The icon will not show when the alarm is off.
PAGE 8
Manually Set Time/Calendar/Alarm: Program Menu TIP: Press only one button at a time while setting the clock. There are five function buttons: AL/HOUR, Sun Icon (sun) Directional Icon (four arrows) MODE/MIN with SNOOZE above the time display. 1. TIME ZONE: Press and hold the MODE/MIN button until the display flashes. The Time Zone will flash, showing a number following by the letter h. North American Time Zones are negative numbers.

Projection Change projection orientation • • Arrow button: The button has an icon that is a set of four arrows pointing up, down, left, and right. Each press of this button will change the direction of the numbers projecting onto the ceiling by a quarter turn. Project temperature only • This clock is designed to continually alternate between time and outdoor temperature. This cannot be adjusted.
PAGE 10
Clock Is Dim • • • • • • Most clocks have a gray background. Place the clock at eye level. Is it still dim? Clocks that sit in the sunlight can develop a cloudy film over time. This is generally a power related issue. Check that the Power cord is plugged in correctly. Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove batteries and Power cord from clock. Press any button 20 times. Leave the clock unpowered for 1-2 hours. Install Power cord and/or fresh alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
