[. . . ] Q: I turned it on and now the screen just shows little dashes. A: This happens until your WeatherFX receives its first update from our network. If this continues for more than four hours, try moving your WeatherFX to another location where you can receive a stronger signal, as shown on the signal strength indicator. Q:Only part of the screen is showing any data. A: Data is sent to your WeatherFX in discrete parts, so if your unit is only showing data on one part of the screen, or only some of the 150 cities, it's likely that the next update your Forecaster receives will remedy this situation. If you've waited four hours or more without seeing the rest of the screen display data, check the signal indicator to ensure that your WeatherFX is able to receive updates (you should see two or more bars). 14 Weather FX-All Models 1LIM-rev2. 14 14 8/3/07 8:53:24 AM Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ Q: I don't see any bars next to the signal strength indicator. A: This means that your WeatherFX is in an area with poor reception. Try moving your unit closer to a window or upstairs. If your WeatherFX still doesn't get any bars of signal, go to http:// map. myambient. com to verify that your location receives signal coverage. Q: The time on my clock is off by one or more hours. A: Press the TIMEZONE button on the back of the device until the proper time appears. Your WeatherFX should maintain accurate time from the network without further adjustments. Q: My clock's time is correct, but it still shows an incorrect or outdated forecast. A: This is almost always the result of "lagging, " a condition that occurs when your device is not receiving a consistently strong signal. If you notice this happening, try changing the location where you keep the WeatherFX. We recommend that you keep it somewhere where it shows at least two bars of signal strength. 15 Weather FX-All Models 1LIM-rev2. 15 15 8/3/07 8:53:24 AM Troubleshooting Guide and FAQ Q: The temperature outside is different from what the device is saying. A: The "Outside" temperature isn't a reading from a "local" sensor. . . it's a signal sent using forecast information from Accuweather. Consequently, the current outside temperature may vary from the meteorological information based on conditions at the nearest AccuWeather data collection center.
