TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES INTO THE PROJECTION ALARM CLOCK
The Projection Alarm Clock uses 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries,
please follow the steps below:
1. Insert finger or other solid object in the space at the
bottom centre of the battery compartment and lift up to
remove the cover.
2. Insert batteries observing the correct polarity (see
marking).
3. Replace compartment cover.
In addition or instead of inserting batteries, the AC adaptor can be used:
1. Connect the power adaptor to a wall socket
2. Insert the adaptor into the jack at the bottom of the clock

5
Important!
Use only the adaptor provided with the projection clock and make sure that your household voltage is
appropriate to the working voltage of the transformer. Otherwise your Projection clock may be damaged.
POWER SUPPLIED BY BATTERIES AND AC/DC ADAPTOR
If the Projection clock is first powered by batteries and the power adaptor is subsequently used for
extended period of time, the main power source of the Projection clock will switch to AC/DC power. The
batteries will then act as a backup power source in case of power failure.

TO INSTALL AND REPLACE BATTERIES IN THE TEMPERATURE TRANSMITTER
The Temperature Transmitter uses 2 x AA, IEC, LR6, 1.5V batteries. To install and replace the batteries,
please follow the steps below:
1. Remove the cover.
2. Insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (see marking).
3. Replace the battery cover on the unit.
SETTING UP
1. First, insert 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into the projection clock. Once the batteries are in place,
all segments of the LCD will light up briefly. Then the indoor temperature, the time as 00:00, will be
displayed. If the indoor temperature is not displayed after a few seconds, remove the batteries and
wait for at least 30 seconds before reinserting them. Once the indoor data is displayed proceed to
step 2.

7
2. Within 1-1/2 minutes of activating the Projection clock, place 2 x AA, IEC LR6, 1.5V batteries into
the transmitter.
3. After a few seconds of inserting the batteries into the transmitter, the projection clock will start
receiving data from the transmitter. The remote temperature will then be displayed on the clock. If
this does not happen after 2 minutes, the batteries will need to be removed from both units and reset
from step 1.
4. In order to ensure sufficient 433 MHz transmission however, this should under good conditions be
no more than 25 metres from where the Projection clock will be finally positioned (see notes on
“POSITIONING THE OUTDOOR TRANSMITTER” and “433 MHZ RECEPTION”).
5. Use the MODE/ MIN key to manually enter a time (and date) initially.
Note:
Should the total time of inserting the batteries into the transmitter take longer than 1-1/2 minutes from the
time of inserting the batteries into the projection clock then temperature reception problems may occur. If
the temperature is not being received, then see "433 MHZ RECEPTION", before resetting the units.
In the event of changing batteries to the transmitter, the projection clock needs to be reset. (See
RESETTING THE PROJECTION CLOCK)

8
RESETTING THE PROJECTION CLOCK
To reset the Projection clock to the factory default setting or in case of a malfunction or changing batteries
to transmitter, please remove all batteries from the unit and unplug the AC/DC adaptor from any power
source. Wait at least for 3 minutes before powering up the Projection clock again.
BATTERY CHANGE:
It is recommended to replace the batteries in all units on an annual basis to ensure optimum accuracy of
these units.
Please participate in the preservation of the environment. Return used batteries to an
authorized depot.
PROJECTION OF TIME
Note:
The projection is a red light, not harmful under normal usage, yet care should be taken to avoid looking
directly into the light.
