Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading 

 

 

Side-by-side test: Bring the outdoor transmitter in the house and place it next 

to the clock for 2 hours.  

 

Compare indoor and outdoor temperature. The temperature should be within 4 

degrees to be within tolerance.  See the section on 

accuracy

 for details. 

 

Look for heat sources such as sunlight, door or window frames, or reflected heat 

of cold. 

 

Clock Has Distorted Display 

 

 

On a brand new clock, check for thin plastic films of printed scratch guard that 

may be on the upper and lower screen of the clock. This thin piece of plastic has 

printed numbers for store displays.  

 

This film will be easy to peel off the LCD. 

 

With all power removed the clock should be blank.  

 

If numbers still appear, please check for scratch guard. 

 

Check that the batteries are installed correctly. 

 

This is generally a power related issue.
