Owner's of the La Crosse Technology Clock Atomic Projection Alarm with Indoor and Outdoor Temperature gave it a score of 0 out of 5. Here's how the scores stacked up:
9
Reposition the display for better signal reception or try again at bedtime.
The display will start searching at UTC: 07:00 and if no reception on the first attempt they will try
again at 08:00, 09:00 and 10:00. Each attempt will be at least 2 minutes and the most will be 10
minutes.
If there is no signal or too much interference, the receiver will only be on for 2 minutes.
If the signal is good, it may catch a signal in ABOUT 2-3 minutes.
If the signal is marginal it will try to catch a signal for up to 10 minutes.
ATOMIC SIGNAL SEARCH:
The LCD backlight, projection and USB charging port will momentarily turn off while the station searches
for the atomic signal. After the initial search, this station will only search for the atomic signal after
midnight.
Note: In case the Projection Alarm is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting
distance, etc.); the time may be manually set.
Manual Signal Search
In normal mode, hold the RCC button until the reception icon appears to force a search of the WWVB
signal. The WWVB icon will flash during the search. If this icon disappears after the 2 minute search,
the radio time signal is not available at the moment.
Recommended distance to any interfering sources like computer monitors or TV sets is a minimum of
6 feet (2 meters).
Within ferro-concrete rooms (basements, superstructures, etc.), the received signal is naturally
weakened. In extreme cases, please place the unit close to a window and/or point its front or back
towards the Fort Collins, Colorado.
During nighttime, the atmospheric disturbances are usually less severe and reception is possible in
most cases. A single daily reception is adequate to keep the accuracy deviation below 1 second.
Note: In case the Projection Alarm is not able to detect the WWVB-signal (disturbances, transmitting
distance, etc.), the time and date can be manually set (see “program menu”).
Low Battery Icon
-
When this icon appears in the indoor (IN) data reading section, replace the batteries in the
Projection Alarm.
When this icon appears in the outdoor (OUT) data readings section, replace the batteries in the
outdoor transmitter.
Position the Outdoor Transmitter
Once the Projection Alarm shows the outdoor temperature, place the Projection Alarm and the transmitter
in the desired locations and wait approximately 1 hour before permanently mounting the transmitter to
ensure that there is proper reception. The transmitter should be mounted vertically, in a shaded,
protected area, at least 6 feet from the ground to avoid damage and ensure accurate readings. The
transmitter is water resistant, not waterproof and should not be placed anywhere it will become
submerged in water or subject to standing water or snow.
Choose a location for the transmitter that is within range of the Projection Alarm and under an overhang
for accuracy. Wireless transmitting range in open air is over 200 feet (60 meters) from outdoor transmitter
to Projection Alarm.
Option 1:
Install one mounting screw (not included) into a wall leaving approximately ½ of an inch
(12.7mm) extended.
Place the transmitter onto the screw, using the hanging hole on the backside.
Gently pull the transmitter down to lock the screw into place.
Option 2:
Insert the mounting screw (not included) through the front of the transmitter and into the
wall.
Tighten the screw to snug (do not over tighten).
