[. . . ] · Position the sensor close to the main unit during cold winter months as below-freezing temperatures may affect battery performance and signal transmission. · You may need to experiment with various locations to get the best results. Standard Alkaline batteries contain significant amounts of water. Because of this they will freeze in low temperatures of approximately -12°C (10°F). Disposable Lithium batteries have a much lower threshold for 5 temperature with an estimated freezing range of below -30°C (-22°F). Wireless ranges can be impacted by a variety of factors such as extremely cold temperatures. Extreme cold may temporarily reduce the effective range between the sensor and the base station. If the unit's performance fails due to low temperature, the unit will resume proper functioning as the temperature rises to within the normal temperature range (i. e. no permanent damage will occur to the unit due to low temperatures). CLOCK CLOCK RECEPTION This product is designed to synchronize its calendar clock automatically once it is brought within range of a radio signal: BAR383HG: · DCF-77 generated from Frankfurt, Germany for Central Europe · MSF-60 generated from Rugby, England. The radio signal range is 1500km (932 miles) BAR383HGA: · WWVB-60 generated from the atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado. The radio signal range is 3219km (2000 miles) The clock reception icon on the sensor indicates signal strength. BAR383HG_M_EN_R9. indd 5 4/12/06 5:24:09 PM EN EN STRONG WEAK NO SIGNAL 1. Press MODE / SNOOZE to select Clock display area. Press and hold SEARCH SENSOR/ RF CLOCK for two seconds to enable / disable clock reception. To force the clock to search for the sensor and retrieve clock signals: 1. Press MODE / SNOOZE to navigate to the Weather display area. ICON DESCRIPTION Main unit searching for sensor Sensor channel has been found The sensor cannot be found. NOTE If the sensor is still not found, check the batteries, obstructions and remote unit location. CLOCK DISPLAY Rotate MODE / SNOOZE when clock display area is selected to choose between the following display modes: The reception icon will blink when it is searching for a signal. If the radio signal is weak, it can take up to 24 hours to get a valid signal reception. RECEPTION SIGNAL To force the sensor to search for clock signals: · Press and hold SEARCH on the sensor for 2 seconds. Clock area reception indicator: ICON DESCRIPTION Connection between main unit and sensor collecting signals Sensor signal reception Main unit has contacted sensor; time is synchronised Main unit has contacted sensor; time is not synchronised Main unit has lost contact with sensor; time is synchronised Main unit has lost contact with sensor; time is not synchronised No icon Main unit cannot contact sensor Clock reception disabled 6 To toggle clock reception ON/OFF: · · · · · Clock with seconds Clock with weekday Calendar with weekday Time offset clock with weekday Alarm BAR383HG_M_EN_R9. indd 6 4/12/06 5:24:14 PM CLOCK SETTINGS You only need to do this if you have disabled the clock radio reception, or if you are too far from the radio signal. Press MODE / SNOOZE to select Clock display area and rotate MODE / SNOOZE to navigate to a clock display mode.
