AC Power
•The design of this alarm clock is to use AC power (5-volt) as primary power source.
•When operating with the AC power cord, the backlight can be on continually.
•When operating on AC power, batteries are optional and are not required in the alarm
clock.
•The backlight will turn off or operate at 4 levels of intensity at your discretion.
•You have the option to set the backlight to AUTO DIM at selecting times.
Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate voltage.
Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries. Batteries
manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in the future. Battery
technology has improved, and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However,
the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power.

La Crosse Technology, Ltd Page 2
•We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
•A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper performance.
•Use batteries dated more than six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated
earlier than six years from now may still work but may be unstable in performance.
•Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF (radio
frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
Alarm Clock Factory Restart
Explanation: The factory restart returns the alarm clock to an “out-of-the-box” state and
often resolves an issue.
Factory Restart:
1. Remove all power (batteries and power cord) from the alarm clock.
2. Press one of the buttons on the alarm clock at least 20 times to clear all memory.
3. Verify that the alarm clock is blank before proceeding (some lines are painted on and
will not disappear).
4. Leave without power for 15 minutes (very important).
5. Insert the power cord into the wall outlet then into the alarm clock.
6. Do not press buttons for 15 minutes.
12-Hour or 24-Hour Time Format
•Display the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format
•Default is 12-hour time
•Use the Program Menu to switch time formats
Fahrenheit/Celsius
•Use the Program Menu to switch the temperature display from Fahrenheit to
Celsius.
Inaccurate Indoor Temperature Reading
Explanation: These symbols are error messages indication the indoor sensor is outside of
its readable range. For indoor readings, this is generally a power related issue.
•Batteries may be overpowered or underpowered. Remove power from the alarm
clock.
•Press any button 20 times. Leave the alarm clock unpowered for 1-2 hours.
•Install the AC cord or fresh Alkaline batteries with correct polarity.
•If the indoor temperature is still shows dashes, HH.H or LL.L, the alarm clock may
need replacement.
