Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
FCC wordings:
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Troubleshooting
The Indoor temperature is not showing: The unit will begin reading
indoor temperature when it is plugged in. Allow a few minutes for the correct
temperature to register on the LCD display.
NOTE: THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RADIO OR
TV INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THIS
EQUIPMENT. SUCH MODIFICATIONS COULD VOID THE USER
AUTHORITY TO OPERATE THE EQUIPMENT.
If Indoor and Outdoor temperatures do not match when placed next
to each other: The sensor is manufactured to be +/- 2 degree in accuracy
under normal conditions. So it is possible to have up to four degrees difference
shown on the separate temperature sensors (one could be “+2 degree” and the
other “-2 degree”. Additionally, the calibration curve is different between the two
units because of the greater temperature range of the outdoor sensor. Errors are
usually noted on the extreme ends of the temperature ranges.
Maintenance
To Store
You may leave the unit on display, or you can store it in its box in a cool, dry
place. Before storing, remove the battery from the main unit and the Remote
Temperature Sensor.
If Clock Radio Time & Weather Butler unit is not accepting remote
transmissions: The units may not be properly synchronized or the batteries
may need to be replaced. Be sure the Clock Radio Time & Weather Butler unit is
plugged in prior to the remote sensor battery installation. With the two units next
to each other, attempt synchronization. Remember to always place the remote
sensor within the effective transmission range and away from large metal surfaces.
To Clean
Use only a soft dry cloth to clean the enclosure of the unit.
NEVER use liquids or abrasive cleaner to clean.
Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void user warranty.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
What is the recommended battery type? We recommend using only alkaline batteries.
Where can I mount the remote sensor? To get accurate readings and to
prolong the life of your sensor, we recommend that you mount it out of direct
sunlight and rain. Fog and mist will not affect the sensor, but large volumes of
soaking rain may. To guard against this, we recommend that you mount it under
the eve of your house, your garage or any other suitable place that will keep it out
of direct sun and rain. Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may void
users authority to operate this device.
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
If Outdoor Temperature Reading shows “- -”
This may indicate a low battery or out of transmission range.
