The Clock:
1.
Plug the AC adaptor into the DC jack of the clock.
2.
Remove the battery door on the bottom of the clock and insert 3 new AA batteries, according
to the polarity information marked on the battery compartment, and replace the battery door.
3.
Once the batteries are inserted, all of the LCD segments will light up briefly before entering
the sensor search mode.
4.
Once the wireless transmitter has synced up to the clock (can take up to 5 minutes), you can
place the sensor outside.

The clock will display 12:00am and will attempt to synchronize with the RCC at 12:05am.
The clock will automatically search for the time signal at 2:00, 8:00, 14:00 (2pm) and 20:00
(8pm).
Note: The clock will always display the color green when the clock is searching for
the radio controlled signal. The mono color green is best for avoiding wireless
interference from the display.

Siting the Wireless Transmitter Outside
It is recommended you place the remote sensor in a shaded area.
Direct sunlight and radiant heat sources will result in inaccurate temperature readings. Although the
sensor is weatherproof, it is best to mount in a well-protected area, such as an eve. Do not place in
standing water or snow.
