ABOUT WWVB (Radio Controlled Time)  
The NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology—Time and Frequency  
Division) WWVB radio station is located in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and transmits the exact  
time signal continuously throughout the United States at 60 kHz. The signal can be  
received up to 2, 000 miles away through the internal antenna in the Temperature Alarm.  
However, due to the nature of the Earth’s Ionosphere, reception is very limited during  
daylight hours. The Temperature Alarm will search for a signal every night when  
reception is best. The WWVB radio station derives its signal from the NIST Atomic  
clock in Boulder, Colorado. A team of atomic physicists is continually measuring every  
second, of every day, to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. These  
physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770  
vibrations of a Cesium-133 atom in a vacuum.

QUICK SET-UP GUIDE  
Hint: Use good quality Alkaline Batteries and avoid rechargeable batteries.  
1. Have the temperature clock and remote temperature sensor 3 to 5 apart.  
2. Batteries should be out of both units for 10 minutes.  
3. Place the batteries into the remote temperature sensor first then into the  
temperature clock.  
(All remote temperature sensors must be started before the temperature  
clock)  
4. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 10 MINUTES.  
In this time the temperature clock and remote temperature sensor will start to talk to each  
other and the temperature clock will show both the indoor temperature and an outdoor  
temperature. If the temperature clock does not display both temperatures after the 10  
minutes please retry the set up as stated above. After both indoor and outdoor  
temperatures are displayed for 10 minutes you can place your remote temperature sensor  
outdoors and set your time.  
The remote temperature sensor should be placed in a dry, shaded area. The remote  
temperature sensor has a range of 80 feet. Any walls that the signal will have to pass  
through will reduce distance. An outdoor wall or window will have 20 to 30 feet of  
resistance and an interior wall will have 10 to 20 feet of resistance. Your distance plus  
resistance should not exceed 80 ft. in a straight line.  
NOTE: Fog and mist will not harm your remote temperature sensor but direct rain must  
be avoided.  
To complete the set up of your temperature clock after the 10 minutes have passed please  
follow the steps below.

DETAILED SET-UP GUIDE  
I) BATTERY INSTALLATION  
Note: To avoid start-up problems make sure that the batteries do not spring free.  
A) REMOTE TEMPERATURE SENSOR  
1) Remove the battery cover. Place your thumb over  
the two air-vent slots on the face of the remote  
temperature sensor, push down gently, and slide  
battery cover down and off.  
2) Observing the correct polarity, install 2 AA  
batteries. The batteries will fit tightly (to avoid  
start-up problems make sure that they do not spring  
free during installation).  
3) Replace the battery cover.  
B) TEMPERATURE ALARM  
1) Remove the battery cover,  
located on the backside of the  
unit and directly below the  
function buttons.  
2) Observe the correct polarity and  
install 2 AA batteries.  
3) Replace the battery cover.  
Note: After the batteries have been  
Radio reception  
installed a tone will sound, and all  
the LCD’s (Liquid Crystal Display)  
Alarm  
WWVB  
will briefly light up. The indoor  
temperature, the date as “1/ 1”, the  
Outdoor temperature  
Date  
weekday as “MON”, and the remote  
temperature will be displayed (within  
three minutes). Also, the time will  
appear as “-:--” for approximately 1  
Indoor temperature or  
seconds display  
Weekday or  
seconds display  
minute. The WWVB search is automatically initiated, and a tower icon appears and  
flashes with the time colon (no tower icon will appear if the WWVB is too weak to  
be detected, and the time display will remain on “-:--”). While the WWVB search is  
being conducted various numbers will appear in the time display. After 10minutes,  
the temperature alarm will either display the WWVB time, or discontinue the search  
if the time is not found. If the search is cancelled “-:--” will appear in the time LCD.  
The temperature alarm will conduct a WWVB search every hour until the first signal  
is found. Once the WWVB time is found, a search is automatically conducted  
nightly at midnight. If the signal is found at midnight, the tower icon will remain, if  
not, another search will take place every hour (until 6:00 am) until the signal is  
found successfully. If no signal is found during this period, the tower icon will not  
appear and the clock will search again at 12:00 am the next night.

for the initial set-up, and will require you to skip step 1 of programming sections III  
through VIII. Press the “SNOOZE” button at any time to exit the program mode, or  
wait approximately 15 seconds for the temperature alarm to automatically return to  
normal operation.

C) INDOOR TEMPERATURE  
The indoor temperature appears on the right side of the date LCD. The  
temperature is checked every 10 seconds and updated whenever there is a  
change.  
D) REMOTE TEMPERATURE  
The remote temperature will be shown on the right side of the lower LCD  
screen. The temperature alarm receives the outdoor temperature (°F or °C) from  
the remote temperature sensor, and the temperature appears in the outdoor LCD.  
The remote temperature sensor transmits a new temperature to the temperature  
alarm 3 times every 10 minutes.  
IV) MOUNTING THE REMOTE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER  
A) The remote temperature sensor can be mounted in two ways:  
1) With the use of screws.  
2) Using the adhesive tape.  
B) MOUNTING WITH SCREWS  
1) Remove the mounting bracket from the remote temperature sensor. The  
bracket should snap off easily.  
2) Place the mounting bracket over the desired location. Through the three  
screw holes of the bracket, mark the mounting surface with a pencil.  
3) Where marked, start the screw holes into the mounting surface.  
4) Screw the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface. Ensure that the  
screws are flush with the bracket.  
5) Snap the remote temperature sensor onto the mounted bracket.  
C) MOUNTING WITH ADHESIVE TAPE  
1) With a nonabrasive solution, clean and dry the back of the mounting bracket  
and the mounting surface to ensure a secure hold. The mounting surface  
should be smooth and flat.  
2) Remove the protective strip from one side of the tape.  
3) Adhere the tape to the designated area on the back of the mounting bracket.  
4) Remove the protective strip from the other side of the tape.  
5) Position the remote temperature sensor in the desired location, ensuring that  
the temperature alarm can receive the signal.
